My Cars

[Arbee]

Hi Guys,

These are the cars i use to own and the 2 i still own.

In no particular order:
My sonic - I miss this car a lot

My Velociti - Miss the style this car had

My 323ci - Sold this to buy my house

My cars at present:
My M525i - Currently for sale

My 84 MK1 - Still pimping

Previous to the sonic (before the cellphone camera days) i had a caddy bakkie and a Tazz...

Enjoy and feel free to comment...

rather sell the golf and keep the bm

 

[Arbee]

Never, i wont sell the golf. I use the golf daily. Saves me on gas and maintenance costs.

So the 5 series is sold, new owner picking up tomorrow.

I should be picking up my new car sometime this week, just getting the finance sorted at the moment. Will post some pics once it officially mine.

So i sold the 5 series about 2 weeks back. The same week i picked up its replacement...

Its a 2004, 330i Individual 6 speed manual. Its Sepia Metallic (cant really see the color in the pics.) with the cream nappa leather. Bought it at 85 000km. Its got sunroof also.

I love it.

I will take more pics soon, the weather hasnt been lekker...

My wife had a 2000 Citigolf 1.4i, which as registered on my name for finance reasons etc etc. She hated the car because of a very stiff clutch, so I took it over as a run-about to work and back, and I agree with Herr Arbee, I absolutely loved it for some odd reason. Maybe because I'm one of those people who gets used to whatever piece of metal you plonk me on and then finds something to love about it...

What I loved about that car was that it could do 60km/h in fifth gear at about 1100rpm or so. That meant that if I timed the traffic lights just right, I could drive all the way through town with the windows down, elbow out the window radio boomin... another form of Joy quite similar to the advertised BMW version

But that little 1.4i was a lively bugger, almost wrecked myself once or twice when taking a gap in traffic and underestimating the power/mass ratio.

Also had some ECU fun with that car (the MP9 ecu). It has a bug in the firmware causing it not to adapt properly to a cleaned/replaced throttle body. Luckily the guys at Hex Microsystems sorted me out with a reset.

Had to sell it because my wife wanted a car of her own.

Thanks Guys, i have been really enjoying the 330i. Fuel Consumption is great compared to the 5 and power, oh my god, the power is awesome...

Heres a few more pics i snapped today after a good wash... I did the smartwax leather cleaner and conditioner, the leather was in great condition, its even better now. Plus, it has the leather smell also.

The Sepia Metallic... Love this color!!!

Very nice pick up, looks like the full package. You just need the OEM xenon headlights now, I have a set if you're interested.

Thanks Gizmo... Actually not the full package, i would have liked the rear blinds and pdc's but i suppose its things that i can live without... Xenons i would love. What the cost of them and would it be a straight fit?
