I would have done that too, if it was my car.

No pics here, too busy making my driveshafts cry.

New car

Probably paid too much for it but I think with 71k KM, I'm going to be looking at it a long time

Had an 08 T-Jet Bravo myself, beautiful car and really fun to drive! Well wear!

That 4GC is the nicest new car ive seen in a while. Theres a 4 Coupe in the same colour around town here, not near half as well proportioned as yours. Well wear!

The big surprises so far are the 8-speed ZF, chunky steering wheel and the brembo brake upgrade. Makes it far more of a drivers car than you'd expect. It's the new b47 engine with 190hp & 400 torque, so it's well able to shift itself along

Front parking sensors were going mental today - had to drop back to the garage to get the reg plate replaced. It had curled on the edges

It took skill to get the top 11.1

More planning than skill, I'd say.

I'm sure he wanted the "all 1's" pic, so he reset the trip at 11100 miles.

ha! well spotted. borrowed from a friend for a few weeks between selling my last car and getting this one. Carrera S. Not very practical with 2 kids, but great fun

Noccy_Mondy · 03-07-2015 12:11AM

Ah I see... i just skimmed through a lot of the chat, missed that part it seems! At least I was right though

Yeh, had a lend of a 911 carrera S from a v generous friend for the past few weeks in between selling my e61 and getting the new one.

We're a one car family btw, so I accepted the challenge! that car has done everything a hatchback would do. My 8 and 6yo boys loved being in the back

Had it out for a drive tonight, it goes home tomorrow

GvidoR · 03-07-2015 12:13AM

It makes me wonder what does your friend have as his first car, assuming he let you borrow his secondary car. :P

There's one of those very close to where I live (may not be 1992 but the same generation anyway). Jesus, the state of it... rust everywhere, interior is like the inside of a wheelie bin and it's very loud... I have no idea how the owner can drive that.

The 4 GT looks the business, best of luck with it. Was the rear tint aftermarket? Almost makes it look like a commercial.

its a shadowline option - it came as a pack with the brake upgrade, 2-tone alloys and harman kardon surround sound.

its far darker than I expected - you can put your nose up to the glass and still can't see in

Lardy · 03-07-2015 01:56PM

Front end Friday!

Fixed the bottom grill and replaced the number plate surround. Still a few more little jobs to do before I'm happy with it. Going for a full valet and detail next.

keeping with the MB theme - here's a recent one.
Could do with a good clean one of these days...

Where did you get them reg plates Lardy? They look well!

I'm going through a reg plate phase at the minute.

GvidoR · 03-07-2015 03:14PM

A lot of chrome around the plate though

The colour of them is perfect with that blue but I think it would've gone better on the stock wheels.
