Congrats on the 1M Taka. How does it compare to the RX8 (handling wise)?

hehe

Thanks guys!

Woosh I put some new Dunlop star spec on the RX8 coz I want to drive the car a bit more.

Well I have not been driving the RX8 for months and the handling is out of this world still.

The 1M is close to it. New tyre to new tyre I find the 1M is still a little in the under steer side. But I did not have the space to use the throttle to apply weight shift. Seriously I have to get to race track to tell you exactly.

Hi there Taka.. Congrats mate..Enjoy..

takahashi · 11-18-2011, 03:38 AM

Some shots of my 1M

There is a set of new M style luggage. Just landed so I stole a cabin one as a gift. I was not going for another one. I had one for last time (non-M style of course).

I like that too but it is a bit of a wank to have a M wallet???

I initiated it.

hey I just realize I put the deposit in late Jan and I'm the fourth person to get 1M from BMW MELBOURNE.

A friend of a good friend also getting one on the same day.

Reading the manual now. should finish in about 2 mins

WAY · 11-18-2011, 07:35 AM

Good to see two of my good friends picking up their 1M today!

Comparing your white one to Justin's black one, I think I still prefer orange. Lol. Seriously, looks good in every colour!!!

Btw, the thing I turned up in at BMW this morning is still faster than any of your 1M...in the city.

timbo_3101 · 11-18-2011, 12:09 PM

Haha stunning ride with the customised plates and M merchandise

Hope to see your vehicle on the roads, or track, bro!

You are such a wank in that

~sarah~ · 11-19-2011, 02:54 AM

Stephen bring it to our track day in December!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alpine* · 11-19-2011, 04:19 PM

Congratulations Taka!

10 months mate, wow what a wait.

Watch the little rocket in the wet mate, one thing for sure she has a bucket load more torque than your RX and it can be "fun" in moderation.

What did way roll up with? The 3 series P car? (do want that car

)

Enjoy mate, I will be down in Mel next w/end, may be see you on the road round southbank.

No no no, Taka probably would expect it if I rolled up in a Porsche. But no, I rolled up in an electric scooter. Faster than any car I have for local traveling for me.

What did you get? I've been sizing up an electric stand-up/fold-up scooter for a while now.

This is what I bought a couple of months ago. http://www.extremetoys.com.au/revo-s...c-scooter.html

Like you, I have been sizing up an electric stand-up scooter for awhile, and finally decided on a go-ped. I was in Sydney so went to test ride it at Extreme Toys. They let me ride both the one I bought and the much more expensive Go-Ped, and then talked me out of the Go-Ped. I have no regret with this, other than that it is a bit on the heavy side. I live along the Yarra in Melbourne, right next to the CBD, so for me it makes a lot of sense and I just ride it up and down the river promenard and into the city.

takahashi · 11-21-2011, 04:42 PM

I saw a GTR R35 rolling in the western suburb. I will NOT like to drive my M here and get parked open space under a tree - my other office is better

Looks OK. Doubt I'd use the seat though.
Weight says "33". If that's KGs that's bloody heavy! I was hoping for more like 10KG max. I'd like to be able to fold it up and take it on the train...
