me & my friends were heading to bondi beach this afternoon when we saw a vanilla evo5 wrx flying pass my car... we came to rest at the lights... i was like 5cars behind him and he was right behind a van ... i changed to the right lane coz my friend wanted to check out that car... so i did, and when my friend looked at that car apparently the owner was looking at us too...:P

the light changed to green, having to pay $1396 speeding fine by tomorrow i had no intention of getting involved in street racing action... both the van and my car was going at 60kmh and we unintentionally boxed in the impatient young wrx driver... the wrx suddenly changed to the left lane.... ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE WERE WHOLE HEAP OF WITCHS HATS COZ OF THE ROAD WORK... and he actually hit one of them.. we were laughing soooooooo hard...

but the funnier thing was when he finally flew past me with "style"... i think all wrx owners should try this... hehe... THE WITCHS HAT HE HIT GOT STUCK ONTO HIS EXHAUST JUST B4 THE CAT CONVERTER.... :P :shake: i think he will have a very hard time taking the half melted witchs hat off his hot hot exhaust.... hahahaha

don't know if i should reveal the no plate...

WRX owners have feelings too!

Hehe, funny story.

On a related topic, I also enjoy blocking in crazy fast drivers (or ricers) when I get the opportunity. I don't know what it is, but I get immense satisfaction watching them try and get around the block, it makes my day.

Of course, being a safe and responsible citizen, this never happens to me. :)

ed : no no i didn't smell any burning rubber coz he turned left at the next lights.... maybe he was too embarrased...

and i wasn't intentionally boxing in the wrx... i was just going at 60kmh and so was the van... :uh-huh:

maybe that guy still has witchs hat hanging under his car and wondering what the !@#$ is the weird smell... hehe.. (about 2months ago, when i get into my camry and drive it , i would smell something burning.... like plastic or something... i found out at next service day that big plastic bag was full melted and got stuck onto the pipe... :P

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
