It's just that it's sunny at the moment and I'd like to be out there.

I thought they came out of the factory rusty as standard.

Originally posted by ChugnutThe reason bike acceleration stats are often quoted as 0-100. Plus it will have only cost a few thousand to get that kind of performance.

Ive got a Z3 at the mo only the mere 140bhp one, but get's the back end out nicely. Got it cos the missus wanted to drive it, now it's in the garage after the missus failed to see a taxi on a roundabout
It's actually a really good car, fun to drive, not as juicy as the V8 S-Type i had before and is very very reliable.
But I want to palm that off on the missus and get something for myself, and go nuts this time.
Trouble is im 26 in sept my missus just lost me my no claims and I was going for a group 20 motor
