#

I'm Dutch myself too and have one too ๐Ÿ˜„

idle cargo
#

then why you confused

tropic silo
#

Because i don't use slang?

idle cargo
#

problem tho that week is the week of my birthday so if i do sucseed i will have to wait till the friday to get it requested

tropic silo
#

Why?

idle cargo
#

since then i'll turn 18

tropic silo
#

You can also get it when 17

#

I'm 17 and have a license already

stoic ledge
#

Otherwise he gets that 2todrive

#

Not worth it for 1 week

tropic silo
#

You don't have to get that

idle cargo
#

untill then id have to have my mom or dad request a permit 1e then i can request it

tropic silo
#

You don't need that 2todrive thing to get your license

#

You can't just drive than

idle cargo
#

here my local thing is really picky about that your parent need the slip with them or you will not get the licence

tropic silo
#

Where are you from?

idle cargo
#

stavenisse

#

so tholen

#

we already got to many farmers sons driving tuned 40 under cars at 1220

#

thats why

tropic silo
#

Hmm

#

In Assen i just got it with the 2todrive thing ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Without*

#

I requested it and got it the same day after work ๐Ÿ˜„

idle cargo
#

well here ive asked at the counter but won't get it unless im 18 on id card or bring someone with a card and such

tropic silo
#

Wuuuuut

#

Let's just say the Netherlands is weird MinRaphiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

idle cargo
#

but yea thats because there are a lot and a mean a lot here that are 17 and drive without someone with them

#

most don't even have a licence yet

tropic silo
#

Hmm

idle cargo
#

because there not in fact alouwed to start yet

#

like me and my 500 cc bike

tropic silo
#

It depends if it's on private area or not tho too ๐Ÿค”

idle cargo
#

it has an exhoust so its a unrestricted tecnicly so a 21 plus licence

#

no open roads

#

back roads but public ones

#

its all backroads here

tropic silo
#

Every car or back has an exhaust ๐Ÿค”

#

Unless it electric ofc

idle cargo
#

bike

#

lol i said a bike with an exhoust

#

it has more power then stock because of it but it needed a new one so there it goes

tropic silo
#

Aren't the bike license restricted by their cylinder capacity?

idle cargo
#

nope

#

power

tropic silo
#

Yes

#

Now i remember

idle cargo
#

1e is till 50cc 2e to a restricted 125 and power to weight ratio and the 3e to power

#

its dumb but its the way it goes

#

so the honda 125 makes 2 hp less but weighst 2 kilo less and the ktm 125 makes 5 more hp but weights 5 more kilo that sorta thing

tropic silo
#

It's to prevent 18+ from going too fast. Well, most lethal accident happen in a corner by misjudging the speed you need in said corner.

#

I wanna drive on my dad's bike ๐Ÿ˜

idle cargo
#

yea well no the most happen from truck drivers not getting a licence and going 1000 cc superbike and full on just for the heck of it

#

i own my dads bikes

tropic silo
#

1800cc Honda Goldwing. Is fast as fuck

idle cargo
#

i said there mine now and now there mine

#

750 cc cb750 k6

#

2 of em

#

and my gs500

#

wich i got for 200

tropic silo
#

I'm not getting a bike yet.

idle cargo
#

it was disasembled

tropic silo
#

Too expensive, and don't have the time for it

idle cargo
#

yea

#

sadly they are

tropic silo
#

Ehhh

#

It depends on what you get tho

idle cargo
#

then again its time for a revolution

tropic silo
#

It is?

idle cargo
#

it is

tropic silo
#

Okay

idle cargo
#

to set strait these dumb laws and keep artikle 13 and 11 outside

tropic silo
#

Just a simple question ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Do you have dyslexia?

idle cargo
#

yes

#

yes i do

#

not on reading but on spelling

tropic silo
#

Ah okay

#

Makes sense then ๐Ÿ˜…

idle cargo
#

takes like 15 times to get things spelled good so i stoped bothering to

#

u need it to get better at english ๐Ÿ˜„

tropic silo
#

You*

#

I don't really care about spelling. As long as it's readable for other people

#

And also, i don't get English at school ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I only have Dutch, Math and specific theory about my job ๐Ÿ˜„

shadow osprey
#

How technical are we getting? You forgot to capitalize the "i" in your sentence ๐Ÿ˜‰

tropic silo
#

Yes

#

Because normally my phone would capitalise it for me. But i have auto-correct off ๐Ÿ˜„ so it doesn't do that

#

And I'm just too lazy to do it myself

#

Since "i" and "I" still have the same meaning ๐Ÿ˜˜

stoic ledge
#

@tropic silo you are not named Colin anymore ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜‚

tropic silo
#

Correct. Finally ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Asked a mod to remove the nickname

fossil imp
#

lol

#

this guy

tropic silo
#

Whaaat?

fossil imp
#

colin 2 kiana?

#

drastic changes ๐Ÿ˜„

tropic silo
#

Uh huh

#

Someone gave me the nickname Colin while i was still called Colin on discord.
Because of personal reasons i changed it to Kiana. But it didn't remove the nickname here i had ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

personal reasons ๐Ÿค”

#

a sex change?

#

lol sorry im bored

#

but its a bit strange using a female nick well if ure a male

#

unless u are looking for male attention ๐Ÿค” ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

tropic silo
#

Not really. It is the name of a fictional character so it doesn't give me personally attention.

#

And no, not a sex change awkward

stoic ledge
#

Person Reasons, but links FB Spotify Twitch Steam enz

tropic silo
#

Sjxns

#

Shush

#

Also steam has my ingame name not private name ๐Ÿ˜„

Anyways: CARS

tropic silo
#

No proof!

#

Yes

#

Nyoom machines!

fossil imp
#

svj yuh

tropic silo
#

Yes

#

(There weren't many special cars at IAMS, so don't have alot of pictures of the event ๐Ÿ˜„)

fossil imp
#

what did u think about shmee150's collection?

#

@tropic silo

tropic silo
#

It was nice

#

But i had a slight cringy moment when i read the license plates

fossil imp
#

heh yep

#

hes very cringy

tropic silo
#

Mhm

#

I don't know him or watch his video's. But his cars were nice

fossil imp
#

he likes to use quotes

#

but he uses terms like shmeetings

#

which is just lame

tropic silo
#

I just cringed very aggressively

fossil imp
#

lol

#

hes a posh guy

tropic silo
#

But the event wasn't really what i expected tbh

fossil imp
#

yea?

tropic silo
#

It was more just a show for companies showing off their cars

fossil imp
#

yea

tropic silo
#

And SuperCarSunday in Assen is way more fun

#

Since they also race with it then ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

yea they usually are

#

modded car meets are cool too

#

when they leave

tropic silo
#

Mhm

#

After SuperCarSunday there is a deutsche autofest show and i can enter the paddocks with my car ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

nice

tropic silo
#

Could also drive over the circuit if i wanted ๐Ÿ˜„

#

Only 40โ‚ฌ for 20 minutes

fossil imp
#

which circuit assen?

tropic silo
#

Yes

fossil imp
#

nice

tropic silo
#

TT-circuit

fossil imp
#

oof

#

high speed

#

take it easy if u go ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tropic silo
#

I probably wont tho

#

Tires and brake pads wear out really fast

fossil imp
#

oh yes

tropic silo
#

And there are Porsches too ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

ive done quite a few trackdays

#

would love to try assen

#

legendary circuit

#

know it well from superbike racing

#

and motogp

tropic silo
#

Yea

#

Where you from if i may ask

fossil imp
#

UK

#

been round the nurburgring

tropic silo
#

Oh nice

fossil imp
#

its addictive but dangerous

tropic silo
#

I can imagine

#

My car isn't the fastest yet for track i guess. But the plan for mods are there

fossil imp
#

what you got?

tropic silo
#

Audi A2

fossil imp
#

yep

#

massive turbo ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

done

tropic silo
#

How massive?

fossil imp
#

not sure, i dont know audi tuning too well

#

just a remap would probably be enough with suspension/brake mods

tropic silo
#

A suspension mod? I can't make it lower. Already bottumed out yesterday

fossil imp
#

better springs, rollbars that type of thing

#

wait the a2 thats like a mini suv

#

is it turbo diesel ?

tropic silo
#

No

fossil imp
#

or the 1.6 ltr one

tropic silo
#

1.4 petrol

#

75hp ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

ah ok

#

not really a track car ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tropic silo
#

Nope

#

But could be fun

fossil imp
#

mmm

#

๐Ÿ˜ƒ

tropic silo
#

๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

make it into a sleeper with a huge bolt on turbo

tropic silo
#

xD

#

I would love too

#

If i really wanted i could just engine swap it

fossil imp
#

lol

#

tons of work

tropic silo
#

Mhm

fossil imp
#

ideally u need a car that has lots of tuning options

tropic silo
#

I do have a friend who currently studies engine tuning and etc

#

Hmm, yea but i dont have the money for a new one already

fossil imp
#

so

#

u could buy for example 2nd hand a small hot hatch

#

they make great track cars when modded

#

like a clio or peugeot 205's etc

tropic silo
#

My parents have a peugeot ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

lul

tropic silo
#

Tune that boi ๐Ÿ˜„

fossil imp
#

i mean the GTI

#

1.6 or 1.9

tropic silo
#

Ye

fossil imp
#

clios are popular

tropic silo
#

I just saw a clio

#

But it had a fart can

#

Maybe I'm gonna get a peugeot GTi

#

Only 30k for the new one....

#

Only 42 months with the salary i have now

tropic silo
#

Future VAG drivers

shadow osprey
#

@tropic silo Bottomed out but you still got plenty of suspension travel. You can always go lower linusKappa but really just get stiffer suspension. scraping the ground and bottoming out are different. If you're bottoming out your suspension, you need stiffer shocks/springs

Hi, so we got a new truck (not literally new but 2nd hand from my uncle) and it has a shit JVC Stereo (I think it's a KD-G845)

#

Any good Headunit in the budget of "$100-150" (Double Din)

#

Needs are:
Good audio
Bluetooth
At least some type of GPS/Navigator

warm sparrow
#

gps? just get something that connect with your phone

#

not sure for GPS tho

stoic ledge

I don't think the AVH-1300NEX supports Android Auto (or does it) ? Doesn't have to be a big deal if he has an iPhone ๐Ÿ˜›

#

Some with the Sony ๐Ÿ˜›

warm sparrow
#

seems not but there are others models

prime chasm
#

My dad has an Android -_-

#

And he barely plugs his phone into the headunit

#

So GPS only

#

But Having like Android Auto is a nice option when I'm in the car with him

warm sparrow
#

i don't know if you will find this kind of device with integrated gps ๐Ÿค”

#

or maybe you'll need a sim card ?

#

but i don't know much about it so i may be wrong ๐Ÿ˜›

stoic ledge
#

Well with integrated GPS will be impossible to find for < $150

#

Ihmo you're best of with Android Auto / Apple Carplay

tropic silo
#

@shadow osprey the bump was extremely high tho.

shadow osprey
#

People still use GPS?

#

Meaning you don't have a smart phone?

#

@tropic silo then slow down...?

tropic silo
#

I was driving 14km/h ๐Ÿ˜…

@shadow osprey i drove in second gear without throttle.

Are the E60 5 series cars problem ridden? NOT the M5. I know about that one's issues.

stoic ledge
#

Leaking panoramic roof, small electric issues, vanos pump, those are the most common (i think)

indigo coral
#

Aside from vanos pump it's not that bad then?

#

They're actually quite affordable (it'd take a while to sace up of course but they're not bad)

stoic ledge
#

No not really that bad

indigo coral
#

There's a bunch of them for sale, 535i for like 4700$

#

With 85k

#

535i is appealing, good handling and body characteristics, 300hp, I believe they were available with a 6MT, they look nice

#

And from what I hear, even the auto is pretty good and snappy shifting. Not SMG.

fathom socket
#

Mustang Nismo or Mustang GTR. Which should exist?

indigo coral
#

Neither

tropic silo
shadow osprey
#

Look for a 540i or I think thereโ€™s a 550i?

#

Friend of mine just got rid of his, it was whatever was a step below the M5 engine wise, with a 6-speed

#

Also bought it but it needed a new rack, Iโ€™m not aboutta fuck with that

#

DC auto show pics incoming tonight โ„ข

indigo coral
#

I've heard that the 540 and 550 are less reliable

#

(also big price premium for 550)

#

actually - i take that back

#

the 550i isnt overly expensive

shadow osprey
#

Yeah if you look around you can find both for not much more

Have you guys seen Doug Demuro's video on the Bentley Arnage going for like $30k ish?

#

@shadow osprey I'm looking into a trans rebuils for my car, if it's prohibitive I might look into saving for a different car.

shadow osprey
#

What car do you have again? a firebird?

indigo coral
#

Obviously wouldn't take it to the dealer, just for the lol I emailed them and they quoted me 6700$ for a new trans ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

#

1999 RX 300

shadow osprey
#

Ah yes

#

I would just get rid of it while the trans isn't shit

indigo coral
#

Just today it had a fit when I was driving home from school

shadow osprey
#

Get something a little more fuel efficient/newer

indigo coral
#

I was going up a hill... Until I wasn't and I was rolling back down

#

Gave it all the gas and after a few seconds it engaged and revved to near redline

#

Big thunk into gear

#

Gonna look into trans fluid and see if it needs changed

shadow osprey
#

When was the last time you changed it lol

indigo coral
#

I haven't but the previous owner did some years ago. Not sure exactly of when. Only has 124k miles on it so it should've only been done a couple times

#

One thing that's good is I found out that the timing belt was changed not all that long ago so that's one thing I don't have to do

shadow osprey
#

How many miles have you put on it?

indigo coral
#

I've only put ~10k

#

Had it for under a year

#

8 months I think right now

raven owl
#

yes

#

u guys america

#

u talkin miles

shadow osprey
#

Hm

#

Trans flush and fill stil wouldn't hurt

#

An auto randomly coming out of gear is usually a sign of low fluid

@fathom socket DC auto show

#

@jolly pulsar It's growing on me slowly, as do most cars I don't like at first. I don't think I'll end up liking it the same as say the 2015+ mustang, and definitely not the BMW powerplant/platform it uses, but I can't really blame Toyota too much... Ok yes I can. Oh well

#

It's nice but not the FT-1 concept

stoic ledge
#

^ old Audi, automatic, steeeingwheel at the wrong side... No thanks

^^^ saw 2 car carrier trucks the other day full with Supra's, they did look quite good on the trailer. Especially the rear is pretty nice imho

jolly pulsar
#

Thanks for that @shadow osprey ! It's a real shame it doesn't look more like the FT-1 concept, but I guess that's the nature of things.

#

I strongly considered one, as well as the Alpine A110, but have ended up buying a Lotus Evora. Lotus had a good offer, and I reckon it's a class above the two other cars I was looking at.

stoic ledge
#

Alpine A110 is also GWloopyGok

fair bronze
#

Very nice ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

#

Lotus Evora though

#

Amazing car

jolly pulsar
#

A110 is absolutely immense, I'll get one second hand after the Evora I think. Should be a few more tuning options for them, I wouldn't mind 350bhp or so.

#

I'm just not sure about the quality of Renault at the moment

jolly pulsar
#

In what way? I wasn't aware they were that much worse than any other Euro cars in reality, although I am aware of their reputation.

fair bronze
#

Especially the electronics

#

The French have never been great with electronics

stoic ledge
#

15 years ago I would have agreed... Especially Renault's. But now... Nah

#

Also... They don't really depreciate much ๐Ÿ˜› Hell, they are selling for over the "MSRP"

fair bronze
#

The quality still isn't great imho

#

It's better than it used to be but they still have a lot to learn

#

Also I don't know where you see people selling Renaults for more than they were new

jolly pulsar
#

Autotrader, Pistonheads, Ebay, practically any classified listing really. I think the waiting list is something like 12 months + for the A110.

#

I agree with MK, if he's saying what I think he is. Most cars in each price bracket are largely comparative these days, most of the stereotypes for each brand aren't really that relevant anymore.

#

Unless we're talking about Range Rovers... they're still shit ahah

fair bronze
#

Oh, you were talking about the Alpine specifically lol

#

No one would buy a Renault for more than it's worth

#

The Alpine I can get behind

jolly pulsar
#

How about a Megane R26.R? Good luck finding those for any reasonable amount.

fair bronze
#

That's not a "regular" Renault

#

Also, recently there were a lot of Renaults with diesel engines that wouldn't start; turns out the intake had a spot where water would just accumulate

#

I don't hate Renaults, I am not talking stereotypes, I am talking from experience

#

They're not terrible, but they could be way better

jolly pulsar
#

A quick google indicates that a number of reliability surveys and indexes put them around the industry average, or slightly higher than the industry average in the reliability category. Every major manufacturer has issues, lots have reputations that aren't deserved in both directions. Renault aren't that bad and VW aren't that good, for example. Anyway, that's just the data, personally some people would be bothered by buying a Renault, and that's fine. Wouldn't bother me at all.

stoic ledge
#

Renault diesels are more reliable then those VW TDI imho ๐Ÿ˜›

Also yes, I was talking about the Alpine selling over their original price ๐Ÿ˜› Normal Renaults, no way ๐Ÿ˜›

Nevermind, I don't think you get my point

stoic ledge
#

@fair bronze pls, enlighten us

fair bronze
#

I think the man with no legs assumes I'm bashing something when I'm really not

#

And I would never say Renault is bad or worse than other brands, I never said that

#

I'm just saying they could be better

#

I wouldn't have any problem with owning a Renault, in fact I quite like some of their older models

#

Correct me if I'm wrong, by any means

stoic ledge
#

GWloopyGok I get 'ya

Tbh imho modern Renault's are quite nice, only thing I don't like is their infotainment, it just works odd and slow GWmythiFeelsBadMan

fair bronze
#

Yeah I really don't like how they implemented the big tablet on the dashboard

#

Haven't really used it since you can't do that a whole lot while making a test drive

#

I've test driven the latest Mรฉgane estate and Talisman sedan

stoic ledge
#

Talisman is a really nice looking car GWloopyGok But just don't like the infotainment (and it's too expensive for me xD )

Mรฉgane looks right in the correct trim imho

The Talisman drives quite nice tho imho, not really special but not offensive either. Just... A nice long distance cruiser

fair bronze
#

They're good comfortable cars, but I really miss the communication feel through the steering wheel and the pedals

#

Really nice looking though, that's for sure

stoic ledge
#

Yeah it al feels a bit.... Disconnected. But that's with most French cars I've experienced, mostly are tuned for comfort.

fair bronze
#

My thoughts exactly, I've driven other comfort-focused cars that are way more fun to drive

#

I like to feel what the car is doing through the pedals, seat and steering wheel

stoic ledge
#

That's why I drive Opel ๐Ÿ˜Ž

fair bronze
#

Haha, nothing wrong with Opel

#

My old granny car is surprisingly communicative, still not fun to drive though.

Lexus RX 300

#

Ah

#

Perfect granny car

indigo coral
#

Yeah - Starting to have trans problems though.

#

Got it for free, so no huge loss if something goes wrong

fair bronze
#

Does she have it maintained though

indigo coral
#

(Free + Taxes)

#

The car is mine - I've been keeping it up since I've had it

fair bronze
#

A free Lexus

indigo coral
#

124k miles, I've had it since 115k

fair bronze
#

Still a nice car though

indigo coral
#

Yeah, for a '99 124k miles is really low

fair bronze
#

It might be a bit boring to drive, but that's kinda the purpose isn't it

#

Yeah that too

stoic ledge
#

Mine has done 121k

#

Km's tho xD

indigo coral
#

The biggest killer is the trans in that car, if it had a better trans It'd actually be pretty quick

stoic ledge
#

automatic

indigo coral
#

The car has 220hp, and when the transmission is cooperating its not remotely slow

#

but when the trans is being a turd it's quite slow lol

fair bronze
#

Old automatics are slow yeah lol

indigo coral
#

Old 4 speed.

#

Been on this r ant lots of times lol

fair bronze
#

It was never made to be fast of course

indigo coral
#

They pulled it from the Camry of the day, which was significantly lighter and less powerful, and only FWD

#

Then they put it in a heavy, more powerful car, with AWD and then put inadequate cooling on it

fair bronze
#

Oh well, it works

indigo coral
#

I hope the 'engineer' who made that decision got fired

#

There's a little PWR switch that helps it, but its still not great

fair bronze
#

My grandma has a Honda Jazz (Fit) Hybrid from 2012, it has all the odds against it but I find it surprisingly fun to drive for what it is

indigo coral
#

What are your thoughts on the E60 5 series?

fair bronze
#

Nice car, interesting looks, though questionable reliability

I was looking into the mid tier 5er, seems to not have any terrible issues like the M5 did

It's mostly the question of how lucky you are

#

It doesn't have to be bad

serene jetty

#

But yeah, I like the E60

serene jetty
#

car meet in Melbourne back in January

fair bronze
#

The stance in the thumbnail puts me off tbh

serene jetty
#

stance isnt huge here like the USA

#

a few cars yeah

#

but not a ton

#

a lot of our jap stuff is pretty unique or clean

fair bronze
#

If people like it, I'm completely fine with it, I just don't like it myself

indigo coral
#

they're very cheap near me, a car with 90k miles or so, in decent condition is like 4k

fair bronze
#

@indigo coral That does sound good

serene jetty
#

most stance cars here are just light stance too

#

like a lil bit of camber

indigo coral
#

Mhmm, even a few problems that's still a snazzy car for the money

#

handles well and is very fun to drive from what I understand

fair bronze
#

Nothing wrong with a little bit of camber

#

Stance just ruins the ride

serene jetty
#

nothing major

#

just a lil bit

fair bronze
#

I hope that's on bags

serene jetty
#

it is

fair bronze
#

Thank god

indigo coral
#

I want to find a black one with nice paint condition, if I could

indigo coral
#

Put some nice black wheels on it and tadaa

fair bronze
#

Yeah that looks nice @indigo coral

fair bronze
#

So does that one

#

Falcon is nice too

serene jetty
#

I like the BA and FG gen falcons

#

and the older XB

fair bronze
#

I don't know all the types since I'm not Aussie

fair bronze
#

Are you also part of the Ford vs Holden feud?

serene jetty
#

eh

#

I'm not a huge aussie car guy

#

I like a couple

#

but more Jap/Euro myself

Are you Aussie yourself though?

serene jetty
#

#

Victorian

fair bronze
#

Aye

fair bronze
#

It's surprising how big the car scene is in Australia

fair bronze
#

Hey that's an Opel

serene jetty
#

its pretty big in Melbourne specifically

#

no its a Holden

#

VC Commodore

fair bronze
#

I know lol

serene jetty
#

lol

fair bronze
#

We've had the Commodore as an Opel here

serene jetty
#

we have a super rich jap car culture because we can import pretty much any japanese car without problem here

#

because we're both RHD

#

also jap manufacturers sold a lot of their Jap exclusive cars here

fair bronze
serene jetty
#

oof

fair bronze
#

Yeah that makes it more fun

serene jetty
#

to be fair most commies were based on opels

#

it wasnt until 2006 with the VE generation that we made our own platform and made it 100% aussie made

fair bronze
#

What a beauty

fair bronze
#

I spotted some TE37's

fair bronze
#

Love them

Did you take these pics

Nice

serene jetty

One of my favourites

whats cool is in aus you can keep a car made before 87 LHD

fair bronze
#

Really just a Pontiac GTO but better looking

serene jetty
#

well we made it to begin with

#

we had it since 2001

#

pontiac got it in 2003

fair bronze
#

Hmm

serene jetty
#

and theirs was ew

#

weird hood

fair bronze
#

The GTO had a smooth hood didn't it

serene jetty
#

nope

#

big scoops

#

holden had smooth at first

fair bronze
#

Aha

serene jetty
indigo coral
#

I've thought it'd be fun to take a G8 for a spin

serene jetty
#

convert it to a holden lol

#

holden bumpers and badges look better imo

#

imo holden looks nicer

indigo coral
#

Definitely

#

415hp and RWD is pretty sweet thuogh

#

Whether its the Pontiac or the Holden

serene jetty
#

also its a shame the US never got all the body styles and trims

#

because a wagon at least would have sold great there

indigo coral
#

One shared-car that I loved was the Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice. (The Sky looks SO much better)

serene jetty
#

ah

#

we never got that unfortunately

#

nor the opel/vauxhall speedster

I've heard it called the Baby corvette a lot

It's a shame they cancelled the SS ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

I've seen some guys from the US convert Chevy SS' into GTSRs

#

even swapped the motors

indigo coral
#

I went to go look at a really cheap 330Ci the other day, it looked really quite nice, and was in good condition, but the guy was trying to give me this sales pitch about how reliable his car was

#

yet it was really a lemon

serene jetty
#

oof

indigo coral
#

Had a 3 inch binder full of service records, including 3 new transmissions

#

Car had 80k miles on it.

Had a full engine rebuild at one point too

serene jetty
#

HOLDEN

indigo coral
#

Obviously I didn't buy it

serene jetty
#

lol

indigo coral
#

But yeah I'm sore tempted to save up for the E60, it honestly seems near perfect. Price, decent performance, fantastic vehicle dynamics, has some space for people and/or shit

serene jetty
#

get a Barra and swap it

indigo coral
#

One concern is how bad insurance would be though

#

Especially if I went for a 540/550i

serene jetty
#

oof

indigo coral
#

300/360 HP respectively

#

the 530/535 has ~250

stoic ledge

Opel/Vauxhall GT wasn't much Opel... Only thing "Opel" about it was the 2.0T engine (basically the Astra OPC/VXR engine, but it was used in more GM cars)

fair bronze

It was a Pontiac

indigo coral

A 6MT 550i would be literally perfect, in black

Oh most definitely

Unless the trans is actually bad

It's just barely at the (hot) Low line, if not a touch below

Not damaged/old fluid, it's just slightly worn. Still a nice red.

Surround sound in car?

Only CD's, USB or Bluetooth could benefit for the surround right?

If It's actual surround and not just speakers digitally surrounded

stoic ledge

Well no it's still a 4 channel system

But 1 is in the center of the dash xD

(on top of the dash more)

That's just weird

stoic ledge

But the first owner ordered the car, he requested a Bi-Fuel Corsa Color Edition with literally 0 options xD

Oh! I saw a Polish car once on the road. And they had normal bookshelf speakers in the back xD

It's tight with 5 in a Corsa

its tight with 5 in my car

then again we're fat americans

My car doesn't allow 5 people on the road

But hey I bought the car for me not for others xD They can be happy they got a ride xD

It only has 4 seatbeltd

Isn't the A2 officially a 4-seater

tropic silo

Yes it is

fair bronze

Yeah I was already wondering

Mines got 5 seatbelts but one is sorta illegal (only a lap belt) in the back middle

5 people in a RX300, damn who would have thought that xD

There isn't

At all

Classic Audi

fair bronze

lol

indigo coral
#

Wow

tropic silo

Even the trunk was smaller

#

I can fit 6 crates of beer. The A4 only 3

fair bronze
#

And then the Chinese get the versions with more rear legroom, even though they are nowhere near as tall

indigo coral
#

good measurement

tropic silo
#

Ofcourse

stoic ledge
#

Buy a Opel Insignia instead ๐Ÿ˜Ž Much, much larger, more horsepower, better equipment and cheaper. Only missing "the 4 rings" on the front

#

Mine can fit 6 crates of beer to xD

fair bronze
#

The Insignia is highly underrated

indigo coral
#

by crate do you mean like a 6pack?

#

if that's the case then I can fit like 20

#

lol

stoic ledge
#

No 24 pack

tropic silo

Its a new measurement system i came up with @indigo coral
This wall is 18 crates of beer tall

I can fit a lot of beer in my trunk

Which badge?

indigo coral

xD

fair bronze

Any other German badge

#

Opel isn't posh enough for them

stoic ledge

Insignia Sports Tourer is GWloopyGok 1.6T 200hp, Innovatiom = top trim, just over 40k. Same as a base Passat with 140hp

I look further than the badge ๐Ÿ‘€

I'd much rather have an Insignia than a Passat

indigo coral

@stoic ledge how many crates you think would fit in my car?

#

xD

vital glen

What is the volume of 1 crate of beer?

Just go to Belgium or Germany, you only have to be 16

really?

I thought it was still 18 there

fair bronze

Or be a responsible human being

stoic ledge

And yeah in the Netherlands you have to be 18

#

Not in Belgium/Germany

#

One Europe yeah right

#

Stronger alcoholic drinks can require a higher age tho ^

But also that differs

tropic silo
#

Germany has that

16 or 18, everyone can and will always find a way to get it if they want it

16 for beer
18 for liquor

400 x 300 x 256 mm

Some have friends, other have parents who do it

GWmythsBlobGlare I get my car tuned for RON 110, with +20% hp which isn't bad for a natural aspirated engine (:

indigo coral
#

Lol my car manual says top premium only otherwise gonna damage engine, and I'm like ok you've ran for 20yrs on cheap gas, so you're gonna keep getting cheap gas ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

stoic ledge
#

Lolz

indigo coral
#

It's a V6 in a low state of tune. No reason for expensive gas.

stoic ledge
#

I refuel it with "premium", but that's because regular is something we call "E10"

#

E10 = at least 10% ethanol

#

But that's not good if it sits in your tank for long, and since my car only uses gas on start-up/when the engine is cold I only use 15 liter in about 2000-4000km (4 gallons in 1200-2500 miles)

@indigo coral LMAO, it has probably wore itself with knock
