Naylor2006 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Dunlop SP Sports i've never rated them, poor in the wet Why are you putting a sub in, when I thought the idea was a large car to fit sofas in?? Stevmo buys a car for a reason, as soon as he's left with it for 2 seconds whatever the reason was.....is out the window....passed the stickers on the way. For the record I think it's a bit stupid calling your topic what you have, it's not like we need an excuse. 'My BMW Estate' would have done....you do ask for it mate, literally in this case.

tomsy Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Here we go again! still dont get how a 5 series beemer estate is gonna be more useful to your business than a decent size van. Surely any work you do to a leather suite is gonna get scuffed to f**k trying to get it in and out of that, perhaps you could post a photo of a 3 seater setee in the back with the tailgate shut.

DaweV6 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Oh and if you must know, my Nana gave me the money to help get my business going Oh. Crap. booking in for service tomorrow and have ordered pipercross air filter Well that's a waste of money, isn't it ? Unless you have a garage that you completely trust and that orders only the best parts possible (you'll no doubt tell me that's the case), you can always do it better and cheaper on your own. Resetting the service interval is peanuts for anyone with Snap-on/Draper tools or £9.99 on ebay and who's gonna clear the EGR and check the turbo, box, leaks, etc. ? This engine is very easy to work on, no hidden inaccessible service parts. How's your fuel filter housing looking BTW ? have ordered pipercross air filter Hope it's a panel filter.

GingeRS2K Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Why are you putting a sub in, when I thought the idea was a large car to fit sofas in??He's got one of those Vibe Optisound sub enclosures which are pretty slim & is hoping to fit it under the seat. bet the girls will love that particular seat Why ? For miscarriage purposes ? Only if he gets another girl pregnant, possibly the one out of the 3 from dynodaze. And at the same time can professionally clean the stain on the leather. I have to hand it to him, he's a pro! A proper pro!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevmo3691 Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 For now the bulk of business is car interior which will easily fit in this. If I have a job where I need to take a sofa away then I will arrange a way to do that but I can do the jobs in peoples houses as most jobs on sofas are scratches/scuffs which are localised to one area - usually a removable cushion so if need be just take cushion away. I would prefer no comments with regards to my personal life thank you very much. Oh and yes its a panel filter. Like I have on mk3 and mk2 mondeos and have for the mk1 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So racist, xenofobic, stereotyping, abusive and sexist jokes that show up here every other day are just fine because everybody has been doing that for centuries for pack mentality purposes, but joke about quite common (sad) medical condition aren't ? OK, I'll have to mark my calendar. Except my apologies. http://i.chzbgr.com/completestore/2012/3/21/c5a54404-b13c-4ac6-ada6-0a508bf09be7.jpg Very poor taste is my favourite style, Bad taste is my favourite film. You two shouldn't stumble upon Sickipedia, you might turn grey in 5 seconds flat. I would prefer no comments with regards to my personal life thank you very much. OK, you just write about it and I'll pretend not to notice. Oh and yes its a panel filter. Like I have on mk3 and mk2 mondeos and have for the mk1 as well Pleased to hear that.

PeeWee Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Back to the main topic in question, I'm not a fan of estates but it does look nice that. I would be tempted to get shut of all other cars you own & keep this one nice and original, use it for work & pleasure.On those pics where are your other cars parked now? DaweV6 your justification for your comment is almost as dire as the comment itself.Who claimed that the other comments are not dealt with.Maybe you would of preferred I looked upon it as serious as the ones you mention & deal with it privately with a warn increase?I thought simply mentioning its taste would be enough?Trust me I have seen things far worse than the site you refer too, this does not make it acceptable behaviour here on EVO and certainly in a thread about someone's car.
