What car your drive and such can be discussed here...


I've had a Camshaft Sensor problem in my BMW for about a year now...changed it 2 times using an aftermarket part and nothing...always the same thing...camshaft sensor error...Well today I finally decided to get a new original BMW sensor and BAM worked right away....

So like an idiot I tried to save few € by bying aftermarket parts but had I just ordered an original straight away from Germany not only would it have cost about the same as the aftermarket part did here I wouldn't have had to change the damn thing 3 times and spend few hours elbows deep in the engine bay. Not to mention a years worth of stress over it...  :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Lesson of the day...DO NOT try to save money in the wrong place.

I've done, but met some characters too, to put it that way. This one guy was VERY gung-ho about telling about his experiences in Thailand. Got out of that car pretty quickly again, i must say... :)
But, yeah, there've been some miles, both metric and English on foot too... Live and let live \../,

I got a 2014 Honda Accord. Because I'm a sensible old fart. When I was driving 50 miles to work and 50 miles back each day, I drove a Honda Insight hybrid. Now I work from home, so I can go with comfort over miles per gallon. My wife likes to haul stuff, so she's got a Honda Odyssey van.

There is a pattern here... :)

2007 Silver Subaru Liberty. Bought it brand new and still done less that 50,000km in nearly 12 years. The first car I ever owned at 18 was 77 XC Ford Fairmont Coupe which was inspired from my love of the Max Max XB Interceptor.

My pride and joy is a 1996 Chevy Corvette. I am the original owner. Now that the car is over 20 years old, it is officially a classic.

My other vehicle is a 1996 Geo Tracker.

That is one sweet ride.

Now, if I could have any car and a day at the track with it, I'd want to have a spin with the Pagani Huayra. Love its looks.
