Dam ASTRA you must have a lot of spare time today, you had 628 posts yesterday and now your on 676

astra · 02-13-2007, 02:20 AM

omg, now you are counting my posts? looks like i am not the only one with alot of spare time

funky_chilli · 02-13-2007, 05:12 PM

haha i have a lot of spare time too but i can say i never notice how many posts ppl make online - that's border-line stalking!

i'd be worried if i were u astra - it's valentine's day today u might get a weirdo in a brown 4wd outside ur place today hahahahaha j/k chris

*edit* btw is it brown? i think i've only seen pics of it once - i gotta say, last time they gave me an x3 for a loaner and i loved it - it was v.different to my MINI anyway - at least parking wise!!!

funky_chilli · 02-13-2007, 05:17 PM

well off to study - gotta resist going on the net at the library.....*sigh*
hopefully i'll come back tonite/tmr and get to see pics of a sexy (CLEAN) blue convertible with fabulous wheels on!!!

LOTS OF PICS!

Has anyone on this forum joined the Aussie P1 club yet?

I did some enquires with their local director and it looks like good value for money especially on the higher tier...They are getting some very impressive cars in too!

They have an M5 and a Z4M Coupe I think :-)

astra · 02-13-2007, 07:47 PM

bahh that's not worth it to me, save up for a few years and you will be able to BUY one of your OWN..

oh, and chilli - chris' car is purple

not brown

funky_chilli · 02-13-2007, 11:46 PM

bah oops purple, brown whatever hahahahaah

yeah that P1 thing isn't worth it, u pay so much money so u can have the cars once in a while - if at all, coz the other members would want the nice stuff

work hard, save up and buy ur own!

Erm, that's why they have the club. Example is owning an Aston Martin costs around $8k per year in insurance and $18K per year in service costs, not to mention depreciation...so, believe it or not, you actually SAVE money

Chris.G · 02-14-2007, 04:40 AM

WHY the hell are you guys picking on me

ASTRA get your eye's tested seriously, OPSM have great deals for eye tests

YEAH man X3 stands for EXTREME FUN:rocks: I have beaten so many cars in traffic light races. Some mazda 3's 6's even a mr2

they don't realise that my x3 has sports suspension so i take corners with ease

Ill repeat to everyone who thinks my car is purple ie ASTRA

IT IS FRIKKEN BROWN:mad:

Bingo. Could be something worthwhile if your that way inclinded. And you never have to worry about unloading the car or getting hammered on the depreciation, insurance or servicing costs. Not everything costs under $1k like BMW's.

haha... my gf's family has an x3 3.0 - goes like nuts. feels like you're going 60, when you're actually going 120!

brown? wow that would be pretty damn rare!

it's funny cos the ppl who can actually afford 18k a year for something like that SHOULD be able to afford their own aston or ferrari or whatever...!

looks awesome i love that colour especially on the 5 series sport.

mate. you're one lucky dude getting a 335 coupe on your p's... haha!!!

Chris.G · 02-14-2007, 05:40 PM

I don't think the 5 series has mocca brown metallic. Similar ones ive seen but not the same. Mocca looks much better in person.

On another note, yeah feel very lucky to be getting a 335, i hope its mid this year, im waiting for the m-sports kit to be made official so i can put an order.

awesome. must be a diff brown on the 5 series.

my dad just ordered a 325 coupe. he didnt want the kit, but i'm convincing him to get the aero kit lip (check out the other post)... he is 60, so sportiness is not his top priority... hehe

m sport kit looks pretty cool - what colour you getting?

astra · 02-14-2007, 06:01 PM

i saw a brown 5er the other day - i think it was sonora, like a poo crossed with a gold, it was feral

Yes, they CAN afford them, but you don't get rich by taking that approach to assets!

Also, cars that are higher off the ground feel like they're going slower than they are. Use a go-kart as an example - you can be doing 50 in one and it feels like you are doing 150!
