    Anybody else experiencing a tight month? Bought My Tona last month, got paid early due to bank holiday and then had 11 days off to do nothing but spend endless amounts on bits and pieces for new bike and fill the tank every day as I was riding it non stop. Roll on payday!!

    I was overpaid last year so now have to pay back £350 last month, this month and next month. Megan is only part time too. Ah well, chin up.

    An awesome car, though.....I have one of the old Cossie-Mercs....that's when a "sports-sedan" really did live up to it's name!! :smileup:
     
  11. Oooo very nice..... a good mate of mine used to have one of those!! I had a 3dr Cossie at the time!! Ahh the good old days!! I love my M3 though, It's actually one of 738 Convertibles built so it's quite rare these days!!

    You can't expect sympathy with all those toys E-R Steve ;) Self-inflicted poverty matey!

    Trackday, Haslam day, flat month at work, holiday invoice through post..... hmm yup skint too.

    got a wish list for next month though :lol:
     
  15. Yeah I know it's all self inflicted but at the end of the day, why not!! You only live once don't you and I sure as hell am gonna enjoy it while i'm here!! :D

    Sweet!!.....I never did really care too much for the standard E30....but the M3 version really did shine in the looks department....especially with those wide-body wheel blisters.....still the best-looking M3 to date, IMO.

    ....And then there's my dream car, the Cossie-Merc EVO-II :clap:
     
  17. Yeah I think it's the best looking too, I've had a E36 M3 evo in the past too and really didn't think much of it, the only new'ish BMW i'd consider selling my E30 for is a E60 M5! A mates got one and it's fecking amazing...... 500bhp V10......

    I've always had a soft spot for a old cossie merc's, doubt i'll ever have one..... I also like the old Lancia Delta Integrale EVO2's, thats another gorgeous looking car!! Must admit I do love the old retro classics!!
