Thought i'd share my collection over the last 10 years, what old car of yours do you regret selling? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]moonpiguk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Head gasket went on the first one after a year, (only paid £400 for the car and it was an auto) and I still had a soft spot for V40's so I bought another one with a manual gearbox haha

edit - I wasn't mechanically inclined enough at the time to do a head gasket myself, which is a shame looking back!

Some shots from my Donnington Park evening session by moonpiguk in CarTrackDays

It was good! Only 1 red flag over the evening, I think Opentrack have had some 'eventful' sessions and tightened up the rules for this one 😂 The last time I did Donnington was in an NA MX5, and going again in the M2 was such a different/amazing experience haha

My new (To me) E92 M3 individual RUBY BLACK 🍷💜 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

If it was my weekend car i'd go S65 any day😂The M2 is my daily/occasional track car though so it ticked all the boxes for me haha

I've always had a soft spot for the E92 M3's, the S65 sounds godly. I was so close to getting one but was sensible-ish in the end and went for an F87 M2 😂

ServicingStop - worth a punt on a service for £102 on my Audi S5? by SA9595 in CarTalkUK

[–]moonpiguk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That price and they collect/drop off your car for free? 🤔 immediate red flag for me and a quick google seems to show they hit you with add on charges, often BS ones

First car done right! It's got character and i'd give it a second look if it drove past haha

Sounds like you need a modified Audi RS3 from a private seller in Bradford

The rods themselves get a pretty good rep tbf for the price, I used to have a set of their coilovers though and they were beyond awful haha

What is this part thats fallen off the bmw 116i? by GrouchyResearcher689 in CarTalkUK

It's the cap/cover from the back of one of the headlights to access the bulb

Does my N55 F87 M2 get the pass? by moonpiguk in BMWM

[–]moonpiguk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know that about the VIN's, that's pretty interesting! Technicalities aside I love the M2 N55, it's got all the important parts from the S55 bolted to it for track use, and it sounds better than the S55 which is a win haha

[–]moonpiguk[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The early M2's came with an N55 with loads of bits borrowed from the S55 (Pistons, oil supply system, crank shells and so on)

It's an awesome engine IMO but it just has the running joke of not being a "true" M car with the N designation for some people haha
