I suppose they'd have to sell the silver Vauxhall & buy A Blue Hansa.

QUOTE (chrisr111 @ Nov 20 2009, 04:29 AM) With the E39 being quite old now, I expect the chavs have no problem getting that stuff relatively cheaply from breakers/scrap yards. Chris. But they seem willing to throw plenty of money at these 'M5/M3' replicas, the E60 M5s reps I've seen around Sheffield have the grills in the front wings, the correct rear bumper with quad exhausts, replica wheels etc. Must spend thousands on them,...

Hope they were playing that Divine Comedy track at the time...

Strange one that, usually its the otherway round. Closing factories in this country is as easy as opening supermarkets .

Bow before me, northern peasant! Seriously though, most of the houses where I live have sizeable garages, but most people seem to keep their cars on their driveways. I see lots of people driving with misted/frosted up cars on these types of mornings. Of course, getting up a few minutes earlier is another option that's rarely exercised when weather conditions will mean longer journey time is required.

Forza is the only reaason for Xbox, if PS3 did then I would have one!

the E39 M5 is stealthy you need to look for oval wing mirrors - possible to replace on a cooking version, but expensive - around £1000 a pair, even a single glass is £250 or the oval rear view mirror - v v difficult to replace and megabucks 'angel eye' headlights is a cheap mod and wasn't on pre-2001 facelift cars anyway I suspect owners see it as modding, the same way some S2000 owners see a single exhaust as modding...

If only the racing was as exciting

Thanks for comments, everyone.
