Re: TV Show 'Bangers: Mad For Cars Series 1 Episode 2'

A friend of mine's car was 'featured' in the first episode - a Lotus Carlton.

I recorded it and watching it back is 10 minutes of my life I will never get back :evil:

Presenters are a pair of clowns. Won't be watching any more that's for sure.

Re: Sytner ALPINA Meet 2023 - 22nd October

I hope everyone has a great day and the weather holds off. Sadly, I won't be able to make it as I have ice hockey matches to attend (I manage a team). I look forward to the photos though.

Re: Sytner ALPINA Meet 2023 - 22nd October

If I have no ice hockey clashes, would I be welcome with an M760Li?

MoT expired on the 1st of February 2017 so it isn't looking good.

Re: G31 B5 Touring Cornwall

I think it's the light playing tricks as this car, AFAIK, is Alpina Green.

Re: G12 B7 #013 - Collecting Cars

This one was for sale April of last year for the same amount at the same place. I suspect that it may have had some issues as I think it was at Nottingham for a while. It's #015, also from Singapore.

Apologies, 'disexlia' again, must remember to read before posting. Correct, V12 ALP was the redg. number seen. Anyway, I think it would be a good plate for one of the B12's.
It was on B12 6.0 SWB #066 at some point.

I've never seen that one before but i'd have a good guess at F11 D5 #036.
It is indeed #036

Re: Alpina Production Number Location

Alpina is a car manufacturer in its' own right but, as I understand it, for the cars to be sold with the BMW VIN scratched and an Alpina VIN instead would have a required a whole load of type approval/crash testing so they are sold as BMWs without the Alpina VIN to avoid any additional legislative r...

Re: G12 B7 #013 - Collecting Cars

I don't think the G1x series B7 was available in anything other than LWB. The pre-facelift was RWD and the facelift was AWD. I drive an M760Li (also only available in LWB although in the US it's called the M760i) and an X7 and both have their challenges to park but I find the width is more of an iss...
