    Jaypers no! I tend to leave the chrome bits on that came with the car like my E34 fe :)

    If I were getting a W210 myself ( I thought about it ) it would have to be an E300 TD. Source out a HX35, monoblocks (lad) and fun times ahead :cool:

    :pac:

    the revs and the speed, I had it up at around 3/4k and it was still at the bottom of the dial and i was thinking "why aren't the dials working?!! I've no idea how fast I'm going! Oh god I've broken it!"

    So I mentioned it to stheno and apparently that's how it works :confused:

    Alfas :pac:

    When you drive very slowly down a country lane and never go higher than third, the rev counter stays near the bottom :D

    It's only when you do any sort of speed that it moves up :)

    I hate this, especially as my car is low to the ground so even normal lights blind me.

    You're grand :) At "normal" speeds, it sits between 2.5 and 3.5k revs. At pred speeds/gears, it hit 5k :)

    Ah well then, like i'd rally my own down that road at "pred speeds" but it's my own and if i damage it it's my own fault, I dunno what i'd do if i damaged someone elses. and i don't intend on finding out

    Sure he was giving out about the lack of torque in my car :D

    I'd be the same, I'm not that gone on driving other peoples cars like I'd drive my own, least you know your own car :) so if you are pelting along and need to stop you know what you have to do.

    Typical diesel response :pac:

    Yeah exactly you know what your car is able to do and so on so you know what to do in the event that action is required

    Up at stupid o'clock to go to Belfast :(

    Car is stocked with food/drink (I once went up there thinking that as usual I'd be fed, and existed on nothing for the entire day as I'd no money and no access to an atm), fueled up, tyre pressure checked, cds piled up (can't stand NI radio stations) and TA switched off. Anyone ever had that out of world experience of driving along in the North and the TA kicks in making you feel like Big Brother is tracking you?

    Yes. The very first time I drove to Belfast I was stuck just past Sprucefield.

    Jesus Christ I nearly went through the ceiling when my CD was interrupted by some woman telling me that the traffic in my area was stuck due to whatever.

    I literally sat there in the jam, wondering wtf was going on!

    My colleagues gladly enlightened me when I got to the office. Apparently it wasn't the first time someone from Dublin arrived up freaked out by the TA.

    Now I always check the fecking thing is switched off.

    Careful now! That's a double entendre :pac:

    It only does it when I'm in the Bravo (factory Grundig has TA on) I tore out the original Pug radio and the Pioneer hasn't TA so I can keep listening to my radio in comfort :p
