I'd better check with the boss, but likely I'll be there. MattR and MattWhatsisname and others from the North-East area we should do a meet up (maybe at my place) and mini-cruise together.

what time are you guys going there? what time is the meeting?

I'll try to come with my mechanic (no not in my car :D ) if he's not working this weekend.

Dan, I was thinking maybe meeting at my place at about 11am or something - which will allow me to have my customary Saturday morning sleep-in, and will enable us to have a fashionably late entrance :) .... I'm open to suggestions though!

Great post Matt, to get a reaction out of me btw :) .... 9am on a Saturday muahahahahahahaha

sounds good Nightcrawler....yeah 9am is pushing it a tad cheeky Matt :)

can I have your address nightcrawler?

It would be good if you could come busky. It's been a while since I saw you guys :)

How are your exams going? When do they finish?

if you're gonna come wake me up at some ungodly hour, you'd better make sure you bring Maccas brekkie or a dozen egss, 1kg of bacon and a loaf of bread, for bacon & eggs on the barbie (like last time :D ) .... hey, why don't we do a brekkie at my place before the dyno day for interested people?!

Am I allowed to enter an XR8?

I have nothing to do with the organisation of this dyno day, and unfortunately won't be able to attend :D - but I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to bring your bog stock standard BA XR8 :)

I'm happy to cook the barbie, no-one died last time, so I must be ok at it.

BBQ brekkie at your place it is then.

    • 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.
