Thank you stressdoc, I had thought that I accidentally strayed onto the Volvo forum for a while there!

Oh my, the Volvo forum, lord forbid. When are you going to get us some shots from your trip up to the NT? Darwin or bust!

timking85 · 10-05-2005, 02:16 PM

Good on your buddy! but your car does have a little bit extra power, well 14bhp... but th E46 is still a cracking car

RodyP · 10-05-2005, 02:39 PM

well i liked racing also, but once i totalled a impreza wrx sti, and i can tell you it wasn't my fault.. but the wreck was horrible.. so racing has got 2 sides fun and danger... racing is more for those rice cars, bmw has got style and don't have to race... but i can understand it was fun

Here's //M short shifter I put into my car

Broken1 · 10-05-2005, 03:27 PM

Thats awesome!!! I think I want to get the perforated one - depending on the price. Still waiting for the dealer to call me back!!! ;-)

How is the shortshifter?

lux.sh · 10-05-2005, 04:40 PM

shifter looks AWESOME. wow. thats really clean. factory look!

and great story. As long as you know its safe environment to race with,
and that you are ready to take responsibility and consquences that might
come up to by doing it, its all good.

It must've been fun racing same 3 series bmw. The Old vs New.

scottz5 · 10-05-2005, 04:40 PM

this is bad! but I still will try to kick someones ass of the line.

(how could you oh oh oh, im so upset) broken1, you have my vote as best most responsible racing driver on SA's public roads regardless of the legal speed limits posted. (im never speaking to you again)

in all seriousness, you may have the driving experience and qualifications and a car that has great handling But what about the other driver? i hear about too many drivers losing their lives due to racing on public streets and losing control. i know we all want to test out our cars capabilities but everyone PLEASE stay safe for your sake, your family's sake, your friends' sake and our sake.

i know we have all become friends on this board and i personally would hate to hear any bad news about any of you, even if its a bumper scratch.

take care, glad you came out pumped and enjoy your modifications.

IMO, a child is more important than a little dog...

lux.sh · 10-05-2005, 06:40 PM

I saw that vette pic before. Other pics of it shows all kinds of blood.

poor vette. and the owner.

Squawks · 10-05-2005, 06:51 PM

Wait a minute...what's the story behind that vette? It appears that it drove head-on straight into the truck's rear. While it was parked. Fiberglass can only protect so much.

lux.sh · 10-05-2005, 07:05 PM

where I read it from, no one knew what happened. They said
it happened on a dry pavement, so they are assuming that its driver's fault(duhhhh, eh?)

Come on guys!

Like people have already said...this isn't the Volvo forum......

Yeah, big surprise, cars have crashes........sh1t happens......

If you don't want to

then get a Corolla

Broken1 - mixed reports here in the UK about the Tunit boxes.....one of the reasons I'm still debating whether to "chip" or not.....the idea that you can take it out and indeed sell it on when you have finished with it is attractive.....but then remaps that are tailored to your car seem a better solution....but then there's the ££££/$$$$ issue!!!!

Be interested to hear/see how you/your friend(he's not imaginary, is he...???

) get on....
