Quiet today?

Robs been busy trying to con some daft sod into going to reading with him to pick up yet another project :)

I had two new front dampers last year and my car also is slightly higher at the front than the back so would it be a safe bet new dampers on the back would level it up?

I know, i too was expecting a load of crazy, never gonna happen, project ideas :D

Plus, people know its a diesel, so you look like a silly tight-wad anyway ;)

Lordy has a new car?

Ah, a V6 something. He chose something SLOWER than his Ti?! Thats madness...

I bet Mondeo, possibly estate...

Heh, nice :) I keep seeing one of them new Chrysler Crossfires in Lincoln, i kinda like it in a big, vulgar, driven by a dick head way :)

Knowing you diesel drivers, you're probably buying 2nd hand stuff from the tip and need to trailer it home ;)

Peter

Yea yea, whatever, i'm not up on pikeynomics ;)

heh, thats where i'm going in a minute!

I know, i too was expecting a load of crazy, never gonna happen, project ideas :D

Did i tell you about the nice BMW E30 330D i had :)

difference is the projects are a lot saner these days and actually work out a lot more

only those in the know about beemers will get the above

and yes it did happen

Heh, like i care!

Ah yes, didnt think of that one

Gay bar!

Nope, picking up a motorbike trailer from Reading that my sis borrowed actually :P

I live 10 minutes away from Reading, quick drink anyone?

Peter

I'm trying to remember what shape E30 was - the only ones I'm familiar with are E34 and E39 shape 5-series. I think the E36 3-series is the one that started a few years after the E34 5 started (around J reg?) - am I about right, so the E30 was the last of the square shape ones, the E21 being the really old looking ones - am I about right?

Did they ever put the 2.5 litre TD lump in the E30 3 series? - surely the 3 litre's a similar size, no?

It's gotta be roughly similar in size to any of the 6-pot petrol lumps though, hasn't it?

Do tell more.

Peter

NO they didnt do a derv powered E30 in this country

and no it werent a beemer engine either :) :)

give you a clue

TurboDerv or N/A ?

Was I right about what shape the E30 was though?

Peter

TurboDerv or N/A ?

Was I right about what shape the E30 was though?

Peter

N/A on pink ex LDV engine E30 is the late 80's three series

The E21 was the first 3 series following the 2002 but with more vertical front indicators rather than the wrap around ones just under the bonnet, the E30 followed on from the E21 in the mid to late 80s and was squarer & IIRC the first

2002:

Heh, I'm up the A404, more like half an hour away really, as the A4 is a pig.

Where's that, Wycombe or Marlow? A4 can be a bitch, but surely M4 on a Sunday would be ok?

Peter

Would have been nice (it was actually Southend, nr Henley on Thames i went to), but i came home on a recovery truck after the clutch cable snapped :(

Still, made it to our destination, without using the clutch for the final few miles, but didnt get to use the towbar. I'm so dissappionted. Still, off to Belgium for muchos drinking and chocolate tomorrow, so see y'all Good Friday when i return :D

You mean you didn't want to brave driving from Henley to Southampton using clutchless gearchanges?? WIMP!!! :-)

Nice - have a good one mate.

Peter

Between the two, near the bottom of the hill. I'd usually come up the A4 on the way to Reading, although it depends whereabouts I was trying to get to.

TBH, Reading itself may be a poor place for cars anyway, last time I was there it was all traffic jams, no parking and speed cameras. Unless it's changed. ;)
