Hello there 2021 8ers. Felt great catching up on some recent posts here. I'm quite hyped to see this same thread still going. I had to smile seeing old bigmouth Post #2 on this thread (but don't let the '2' fool you, Post #1 arguably should not count as it wasn't an actual comment)
Anyone I used to know still lurking: hope you're all doing great, & your 8s of course.
:chat:chat:chat Hey you Guys ,here we have it,I'm so happy I've sent a donation would be nice if we all did as a decent thank you for giving us what we wanted:thumbsup
1st trail fit, I've since done lots of cutting & adjusting but you can get an idea, deff need some Feck off pipes to fill out the spacers?? View attachment 33822
:rofl :rofl :rofl sorry I'm a bit slow, the night shifts are taking their toll.
Yesterday was painful, I left home at 6am to goto the shoot, I then worked through the night without a break, by 7am this morning I was wasted.
From 1st April I'm redundant, but I'm looking forward to the rest. I want to go to more meets and catch up with you guys :thumbsup
We have a custom car / meet on the first Sunday of every month here in Guildford. It was started many years ago by Burger King and still tends to attract lots of American Muscle. Its a great venue and I see regulars there now, however like my fishing, I ONLY stand around when its warmish these days. Last year we used to take the 840 & 850, we gathered a lost of interest. Trouble was the Saxo / Corsa kids tended to focus on the Nitrous and I would be bombarded with stupid questions.
My first minor alterations - easily reversible if/ when i get bored.. pix, opinions welcome
Alright chaps,
Few things different with my car now, firstly thanks to Best Buy . i think his suggestion about yellow FTPs really works on my car, tho I'm sure some won't agree, my roundels are no longer blue and white (I didn't use a yellow decal in the same shade as the car - it didn't contrast enough for my liking) and there's also a pic of the small yellow roundels i added to both front (side) windows.
Anyway, pix.. hope u like 'em +, I'm happy to take negatives from people that like yellow cars but don't like what i did :silly
Hi Tim, bit confused about your point about 'smoked' here - as the FTPs which i covered were clear, NOT smoked, as far as i know? (forgive me if being a bit dense..
Meetings- You are all welcome to come to Duxford on May 6th - it is usually a great day out with loads of interesting cars of all makes. There are usually a few E31's amongst a sea of other BMW's:
....and more interestingly, quite often a few warbirds flying about:
Gates open (for those displaying cars) at 9:30 at the far entrance.
There is a second show later in the year as, but I don't know the date yet. Duxford is a brilliant place to visit, loads to see especially if you are interested in WWII aviation. I'll post up again closer to the time.
Tim - Duxford is my two son's favourtite place on earth and they nag me continuously to re-visit..
May 6th in my diary already, seriously. Will speak to you about it nearer the time.
i'm with timm on this one B. but as i said before, it's your car and she still looks good mate. it'll take more than two bits of yellow plastic film to spoil her. i am a fan of yellow. my VFR800 was yellow. ahhhh VFR.
After checking out that radioactive logo again, i'm starting to see that one differently, its almost 'not bmw'. Hmm. Anyway. All in all, i'm uneasy about taking the car yellow. ITs cool enough as is, and in a way its lost some charm maybe, if i saw it on the street parked i'd be more inclined to think 'probably some twat's car'.
That is one way of looking at it.
oh dear this is all starting to feel wrong.
Quality mate, quality,oh how I'd love one of them.
Years ago I had a German registered 525 that I came back with after finishing work out there, because of the registration I got road raged all the time!! Got totally pissed off so much that I carried a small baseball bat just in case!!, this particular time a car overtook me .,much verbals & finger gestures then shot off & pulled into the inside lane of the dual carriageway!seeing my chance, I caught up pulled a long side & waved the bat in a animated fashion I had the same reaction as in that clip brakes slammed on & away I went:rofl shortly after that my Mrs insisted I re-register the car!

How about this for a suggestion: Ditch the yellow roundels, but to make it different, what about black ones, you know black/silver etc. That way you loose the conflict of yellow car, blue badge, and get black and yellow, like the light strips?
Vulch: Nothing says F*** off, like a large eastern European looking gentleman with an automatic!
Anyone ever seen an old biker film called "stone", it's mostly cheese, but there are some scenes with guys riding original Z1000s with automatics slung on their backs. That is a good look! The feds don't have much of a sense off humour about that sort of thing these days.
She is an individual spec..the colour is Romanticrot
