I have entered at the nats, entered last year didn't have any probs you just have to stay away at night and don't go round the back road later on.

^^ i remember last year i was at the shell servo entrance seeing your 32 go past, my mouth dropped! i believe the words were "God daaayum!" widest 32 ive ever seen!!!

Yeah I saw Leigh hook a left as well..... are you mad? :P

Was a good night, I think we picked the right time to leave as well..... I didn't realise that just about every car that drove down lonsdale street could be "randomly" inspected. Funnily enough I didn't really see any car all night put a foot wrong.

Some nice cars though, we saw Rumble, a white R34 GT-R, one white and two red R34 GT-t's, too many R33's to remember, a few 32's (2 silver GT-R's among them), ran into Nick and Ewan, etc etc.

Tomorrow night should be a cracker.....

My nasty mother-in-law gave me a season pass for christmas. :)

So I guess I'll have to go then.

It was great to see so many cars out tonight, just wish that all those awesome local cars would come out more often.

Hope to see a good turnout at the museum tonight before hitting braddon (and the pubs)!

As per my annual routine,we'll be eating at the restaurant on the roundabout in the middle of Lonsdale St (Da Cellini's...)so we can kick back and enjoy the show. I've got one spare spot,seating wise(Leech,you get first dib's,as you posted up your interest first!);we'll be there from 6.30 with a mixed bag of SAU'ers,Ducati owners,a few V8 nuts and me + E:all good peeps...

Beacause i was sitting on the arse of two police officers on motorbikes that went straight through that round about who i caught up to a little two quick. I just went straight through the roundabout anyways i didnt turn down into the ques :)

Leigh why did you turn left at the round about into the the dead lock traffic and breath tests lol :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.
