Estates hold their value, but get a manual... you'd instantly regret an auto when you want to kick out the back.

To be honest, in 5 form I would pay more for the diesel. Extra weight needs the economy. Towing will want the torque.

Yeh I hear you, tourers are bloody huge beasts though.

The E39 Air rears can be coded down via the Bmw diagnostics software, apparently.

I know that fact, part of why I wanted one.

I don't like to back down... But...

They do also seem like cnuts.

Not RoS but that Richard fella.

Hahaha some of the comments on that Facebook page are so amusing.
Apparently we're snobbish & would look down upon at their cars. Prolly because steels are shit, just saying.

[Jorge]

Can someone else reply, to stop me looking likethe only one lol

They set the date last year, yet only have 120 attending. I set the date this morning and have over half that...?

[Jorge]

We are a bunch of snobs, and allhave shiny wheels... apparently...

[ajk]

Where am I repling too?

[Jorge]

I deleted it, went back on the PC and sawI could.

I'm talking to the RoS owner now. He seems far more reasonable than the fans.

I don't see why a colab meet would be detrimental.

[ajk]

Because we would be associated with someone that had a picture with a banded steel with the caption "split rims can fuck off, we mean it"
Seen like a bunch of Barry Boys I'd rather not be associated with frankly. It's not being a snob of they're sticker bomb, rattle can & rat look central
I'm sure there are great examples of oem+ cars amongst the Halfords bunch but I bet 50% will be colour coded wheels and badges! Yes, I'm a snob

[Jorge]

Yeah, I know what you're saying.

Their meet is at 3pm, ours is at 11am.

I was going to move it to the same location anyway after a scouting mission from some locals over the weekend. So just going to state.. RoS meet to follow maybe. I;m talking to their admin now. He is much more down to earth than the members I think. Cos we allknow, steels is the stepping stone to getting baller wheels. Most have been there and done that before moving onwards. Some old cars will always need them, and some new cars look awesome on them as a nice difference, however some cars like £500 Polos need a bit of a rethink.

I have no issue with joining forces but I just have the slight worry of it becoming a chump meet, one meet like that is all that it take to discredit a name. I'd sincerely hope they prove my anxiety wrong and some sweet cars turn up
