Somersoft Cars

vyberlina ... are the wearing evenly on the missus car? If she is showing the curb a little bit too much love then she could be knocking out the allingment/toe/etc ... which is causing them to wear unevenly.

No - wearing perfectly evenly side to side. Obviously the rears don't get much wear.

I checked the aligned and it's perfect. I suspect it may just be one of those models that uses its tyres a bit more quickly.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Given how high geared the barina is for such a small engine I reckon it would struggle to spin the wheels on tar at all.
 
Little cars are more dangerous in crashes than big cars :eek:

Who would have thought...:cool:

I must admit I would rather have an older commodore or falcon than a brand new getz or similar just because the little car has a 5* ancap rating

Nice to see my 2005 BMW and hubby's 2006 Facon ute get 5* "real world" ratings .

I found out a little while ago that the brakes work better on the beema than I think my 2001 commodores would have in a similar situation :)
 
Stillwell Premium? Otherwise, just get their buyer to get you one from the Eastern States. ;)

CJAY, he works for BMW on West Tce, think its coming over from the Eastern States. Its black, so should look pretty sweet! Hopefully its in good condition with not too many Ks on it.
 
wait til you get the fuel consumption of the CX7. I heard it's very thirsty..
i've had mine for a couple of years now.. i used to worry about the fuel consumption, cause i'd heard the same. i havent found any better or worse than other cars we've owned, and we balance it with the economy of the maz2, which seems to run on the smell of an oily rag.



What has been expensive with your services? Haven't had this issue yet...

maybe i'm a better driver than my hubbie!! it was a fairly early service, and it maybe that a part needing replacing earlier on the maz2, so cant remember the details, sorry!
 
I have a standard Toyota hilux 3L,TD dual cab, and she is a great all rounder !

Looks like the offspring of a one night stand between a racing bike, and a pair of roller blades and a oven muffin tray

Ha ha, nice description.

Without knowing its background, Id say its the result of some serious wind tunnel development to maximise aerodynamics.

Unfortunately the UCI has some pretty strict rules regarding bicycle manufacture and dimensions so the playing field is much closer, of course this bike and many others including mine dont comply!

Check out others by Cervelo, Lotus, Softride etc. Some awesome bike designs out there in the 'non cycling' world.

How did I miss this thread!

Love the old school stuff in here, beautiful cars.

Here are a few of my more recent cars. I can't help but to modify them. They all have produced almost double the power over factory. They all have been punted at the track too!
