Grakkus posted:This is fantastic, incredibly jealous! Been looking at getting an XM to daily myself - does yours have one of the cool single-spoke steering wheels? I'd love an XM and I kept considering one but three things kept putting me off: The fact that diesel XM wagons are rarer and relatively pricey, the fact that an XM wagon would be virtually impossible to find a parking space for around where I live and the constant worry of catastrophic electronic death. If I was after another hobby car I'd probably have taken the plunge but I needed this one to be a no-fuss mile-muncher so I went for a Xantia. No crazy interior, I'm afraid. After the failure of the XM Citroen realised they had to tone down all the weirdness if they were going to sell cars in markets dominated by boring German exec saloons so the Xantia has a normal wheel, normal dials, a normal fascia and it's all made of very sensible black plastic.  88h88 posted:Dope car.

I went from this: to this:  Ignore the oil on the floor, it's from the Supra. I went from a 3600lb 230hp car to a 2300lb 155hp car and it is amazing.

blk posted:I really hate my house's design - mid 70s transitional ranch when my style is hard modern. Unfortunately all THE CALIFORNIANS moving to Oregon have doubled housing prices here in a very short amount of time while wages have stayed the pitiful same, so there are no lots left for me to build on and nothing cheap enough to scrape. I also don't like my location. Why did I buy this place again? Quoting form when this was the Post your own crib thread - this house is rad as gently caress. 11/10 would live in.

5 years ago I sold a thing. The owner I sold the thing to had his first child at the end of July and asked if I wanted the thing back. Yes. Thing arrived last night from CA. Photo of said thing: AoA confirms this car is 1 of 6 in the US.

So this weekend I drank too much, blacked out, and woke up to this in my driveway:  I didn't have the heart to go back to the dealership so it now has a permanent place to stay in my garage. Coincidentally I got tired of fixing lovely little plastic pieces on the Mini this weekend that should only cost $10, but you have to buy a whole goddamn $400 assembly for and takes 2 weeks to get delivered. I'm looking at you lovely little plastic plunger with 2 springs in the oil filter housing that likes to break after 6 digits on the odo. But, I digress..

 About to say goodbye to the X5M. We haven't had any problems with it - yet - but I'm frankly terrified what the future holds, and the entire reason to get it which consisted of the wife drag racing it, has failed to materialize. Therefore, next week I'll post pics of the replacement, which I'm sure should be cheered by some and reviled by others.

Land Cruisers are cool, I shopped those and the Lexus variant when I was trading in my E55. Ended up going with a new Silverado since the residuals on the toyotas are so insane I would have spent much more just to get one 5 years old with 70,000 miles

After fighting the urge every three months or so for years, I finally figured 'to hell with it' and took the plunge: 2005 Exige, RHD, some 57K miles on her. Spent most of yesterday cleaning the interior in order to remove all traces of the PO. Spent most of today driving it, including on an old airfield and an outdoor go-cart track. It's such a dumb car. It feels great and sounds like a crazed banshee. At the same time, what little panels there are creak and rattle, and visibility is comparable to an armored recon vehicle. Every moment you get the impression that the lads designing and building it were only interested in making an aluminium tub go fast and look great while at it, everything else falls squarely into the category: "eh, good enough - let's go to the pub"

Tremek posted:so we're replacing the X5M with a '13 Land Cruiser. Pics next week.  Welcome to the club! The 200 series is so insanely plush for an offroad truck that can keep up with pretty much anything and since theres SFA difference between the 200 series we get in Australia and the 200 series you get in the US apart from the side the steering wheel is on, you dont get the twin turbo V8 diesel we get and you only get the sahara trim, it means that the aftermarket is HUGE for them too.

One of my close friends just picked one of those up, fantastic little cars those things are; although the factory tuning/power-band is super odd and you can feel power delivery fluctuate throughout the RPM range.

Truth. Nothing nothing nothing 4k HOLY SHIIIIIII The 04 had boost at 3500 or so, then a little dip, then pull pull PULL. Suppose an AccessPort is the solution?

 Got the car totally cleaned and detailed. Been feeling like poo poo recently thanks to the way my dad's aged care is being handled, and the way my current holiday is being shat on from a great height, so I got the car a really big clean, as it was getting covered in dead bugs from all the driving I have done the past week and a half.

Thanks dudes. Every time I drive this thing I'm learning just how solid and well-built it feels. A highly refined driving experience, especially for a body on frame truck.  Picked up some 17" TRD forged wheels for it today, and bigger BFG KO2s will be going on it after I use it to tow the V out to the Virginia City Hill Climb. Then we'll figure out sliders and armor.

In a move sure to piss off purists of at least two brands: These are BMW M4 18x10 wheels mounted (square) on my V, with Toyo Proxes RRs, in preparation for the Virginia City Hill Climb next week. Will be trailering the V out behind the Land Cruiser - all is right in the world. The cool thing is in spite of tight clearances, these BMW wheels fit the V with only hub-centric centering rings, no spacers. Also, if BMW forums are to be believed, these are forged, and weigh just a hair under 21 pounds a wheel.     Didn't get a chance to do sway bars or springs this year, but we'll see how she does and then I'll decide if I should do either or both before 2017.
