Hi everyone

Well, finally, there it is folks on it's way to the shipyard. Sorry Low84 for hijacking the thread. JIM
So Jim
Is that the car leaving for Canada or arriving in it's new home?
Looks a good one.

that was in Hounslow headed to the shipyard. It's now in Canada in my friend's garage in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Haven't decided if I'm flying out and driving it the 2500 mi or transporting it home. I'm pretty busy right now with my son on his job so transporting may be best. It needs new tires and I can buy them cheaper at home than in NS so that also comes into play. Can't wait to get it though, never been in one so will be an experience. JIM
 
That's okay Jim, it's all about people chatting :)
Don't say that to him otherwise he'll stalk talking about snow and caribou again ;) :bag::D
 
Your slipping Jim.;) Car looks a beaut mate, bet you can't wait.:) By the way I found the ideal car for Frankie's travels round the UK today. Pic's later.
 
Hi Lourens
Welcome from me near by in Walton on Thames. Great car, nice pics. Hopefully one day I will discover how to attach pics to my posts.
I keep most of my galleries in Picasa on my PC but I think I need a course in technology to fathom it out.
Enjoy the forum.

Mike this is the main reason I ended up on this forum, because uploading photo's was so easy even for a died in the wool technophobe like me. Stick with it or I assume you can try in the practice area? Gaz will confirm that OR not.

Tony.

:welcome: from Bazza & Zelda a pre facelift 2.8 best available in my opinion :scorecard:
 
Nice looking zee Low84. Are those Mroadster alloys? I want sum! Have you said what motor it is? Lost the thread when it went phone techno. Curious about your tuning ambitions. You obviously know your 'onions'.

Hi thanks a lot! They are genuine bmw alloys but unfortunately the rears aren't the deep dish ones like on the z3m. It's the 2.8, just such a lovely engine! Well I got the info on tuning from sort of reading up on the forums but hopefully end of next week I'll have the m50 inlet upgrade and a remap :) It's got a custom back box on already so it sounds absolutely great! I gave it a full service a couple of days ago so put in a K&N panel filter. Next up when I can afford a bit more I'd like to do a full front and rear set of power flex bushes and a whiteline front strut brace. That's sort of that for the moment. Other things I'll do on days off are clean up the headlights as they are a little faded. I guess this list could go on and on haha.

Hi Lourens, the "list" is never ending believe me but this what is great about our cars. Always something that needs doing or that you want to do to make your car individual. ( apart from Stickers) :ymdevil:=)) Just Enjoy.

Definitely. Luckily I'm not a fan of stickers either!
