New member saying 'Hi'.

[Dan L]

Evening all,
Just joined this forum as im thinking about upgrading to a CSL in the near future:thumbs:
Thought i wanted a Porsche 911 but not feeling the interiors or the attempt at rear seats:bigcry:
At present i own an imola red E46 M3 which i love, but just getting a little bored with, and feel the CSL is the next step up to where i want to be as i know where iam with the E46's with regards to running costs and faults.
After seing a Sapphire black CSL just down the road from me, its that colour i would be after with a/c and radio.
I own some other cars, one being a 40k Escort RS Cosworth on a K plate, the other being a K plate Vauxhall Nova mapped by Mark Shead at M.A.Developments with around 300hp on Autronic SM2.:thumbs:

Here are some pics,






Good old DoDo juice orange crush:thumbs:







So anyway thats me:beer:

Hi Dan! :gayfight:

How many more of you homo's with Escort Cosworth's are going to come over this week!! Finally seen the light eh!? :blalalala: :bigcry: :bigcry:

If Andy (rsnissan) show's his face that's 3 of you in two days! :hahaha: :thumbs:

I assume you got my text earlier gay boy, when my holiday is over in a fortnight or so's time I'll pop up with the CSL and you can see what all the fuss is about! :beer:

[Dan L]

So random about the Escort guys wanting CSL's! yes got the text homo, Andy was asking me a few Q's about myne when i posted a thread after using the dodo juice on my car, but you would not of seen it due to being a turn coat:bigcry::bigcry:
Yea sort out a meet at myne or yours, ill treat you to lunch:gayfight:

[Sailorbaz]

Loving all three cars mate, I bet that Nova SHIFTS though.

I suppose you must have some sleepless nights with that Cossie too, don't know if I could live with one but cracking car and loving the wheels.

Welcome to the Forum and good luck in your hunt, but I have to say it, you're going for the wrong colour mate! (innocent banter on here regarding the 2 colours)

Welcome Dan - love the Imola M3 :thumbs:

You are all turn coats! :hahaha: At least you've got an M car like I had I suppose

I'm sure it's my turn for lunch thought, but if you insist... :beer:

:bigcry:
Love it, wrong colour, i think im revolting, as my dad has had BMW's for along time and ALWAYS has silver:hahaha:.
I just find there are too many silver cars about at the moment, i know the CSL is silver/grey, but i just fancy a change and more of a contrast, although i know black will be a bitch to keep clean (had a black nova gte back in the day!).
The nova is fun/dangerous, spins its wheels all the way through 3rd in the dry and makes my M3 look like its stood still in a straight line, but does not go round corners:bigcry:. Had it since i was 19, but now at 27 i feel abit of a chav driving it:bigcry:
Escort cosworth I bought, drove for 20 mins and didnt like the lag on the T34 so just left it in the garage for the last 4 years. But i wanted one since i was 12 years old so i would never sell it as its my dream car.

[grumps]

Welcome Dan! you could have at least cleaned those cars before posting the pics:blalalala:

[Sailorbaz]

Looking at how big and how Fwd that engine in the Nova is, I was thinking it didn't do corners right enough. But can imagine it can do a 1/4 mile is a good time.

You're in a good position to be able to keep a Escort Cosworth in the Garage, good man. I like it, ;-)

Just remember though, Black CSL's don't highlight the carbon fibre parts as well as the SG one therefore are slower! haaahaa

Welcome to the register Dan.:thumbs:

[AlexGTT]

Hi Dan. Welcome. I have my own problem with tuned tin can FWD's. For my sins I was R5 GTT since 19 years old! Haven't driven it in 5+ years but still have it stored away and can't bring myself to sell it.:thumbs:
CSL is a different world to M3. You won't regret it.:smokin:

[shane@mbtech]

Welcome, and loving the cars:drool:

Pics Alex!! My favourite little pocket rocket! I was only looking at one online a month or so ago! My mate used to have a black one on Ronal Turbo wheels too! :smokin:

Dan was saying this and i makes sense, but ive also seen a sapphire black car up close and the carbon still looks great, just not as much of a contrast as with s/g. I will have a nosey round Dans car in a few weeks and see what i think of s/g.

As for colours.. c'mon, i already have a RED M3, everbody knows no matter what trim the car, RED is always the fastest so the CSL will be alot slower than my M:bigcry::bigcry:

[DazBlackCSL]

Welcome Dan :thumbs:

Proper colour black, rarer, and it's good to not just buy the obvious one :blalalala:

Far quicker also, good luck with the hunt
