that's funny cause fatz tried to get into one from the 1st floor balcony, but he just landed in the bushes....

What a massive day at private practice today at Oran GP. There were over 30 cars.

Cars from every class at Superlap were there.

Saturday private practice is going to be out of control :D

Sunday is going to be massive!!

Crikey you guys are nice. :woot:

I was a little sorry not to be doing Superlap this year but after reading that lot it's obvious we are not welcome. Good luck to all competing.

BTW you really should get all you facts straight before making comments you may later regret.

Based on the comments of some of the other lotus guys, do you blame them?

I'm sorry? Read what he actually wrote and tell me where he is wrong? We never entered our car or expressed any interest in running yet we were shown on the list. Not our fault. The yellow car was destroyed in a serious accident at Phillip Island last year so obviously it can't run.

The oil you can see on the track in from the BSM Skyline the race before.

UM maybe you should edit your post to say "Maybe some of the oil might have been from the BSM car".

Sunday was an oil-fest,,,almost every class oiled the track up.

Nice win though,,,Congrats to Tim.

Neil.

David,,,please don't think that everybody here hates the Lotus's. I don't and I think they add major spice to superlap.

Ha Ha superkarts,,,whats worse oil or glycol?. They should stop calling superkarts to the dummy grid,,,they should call all lunatics without seatbelts to the dummy grid!!!.

Neil.

UM maybe you should edit your post to say "Maybe some of the oil might have been from the BSM car".

Yeah, Sorry about that Lofty. I was told by one of the grid marshals that you dropped the oil, or at least some of it. I just read on the other thread that you in fact spun on the oil and didn't drop it. Sorry about that and I hope they get the car sorted in time for Superlap.

I dont think anybody here hates Lotus. What they do hate is pretentious condescending arseholes Logging in to a skyline forum for the express purpose of throwing shit and then taking the bolt.

If same arsehole is going to take cheap shots at our "datto's" what does he expect. Did he seriously think we would all kiss his magnificent sacred arse, not likely. A few disparaging remarks as to his parentage and A gentle reminder of the Incredible giant killing all conquering leyland engine lurking beneath the bonnet of the mighty loty was about as kind as it was going to get. :D

That's very nicely put Mr Fineline.

If anyone was offended by the afforementioned pretentious condescending arsehole, then i unresevedly apologise. That was not the intention at all.

The post was really as result of reading many pages of anti-Lotus sentiment. There were many un-truths being posted. The "other side of the story" was missing.

Anyway, we've all said our bit. Again, i'm sorry for any disparaging remarks i may have made. I know quite a few on this forum personally, and certainly don't wish to sour relationships.

It did make for a few days of entertainment. :D

I hope y'all have a great day at OP.

Tim.

    • 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.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
