Nice car Sam. Did you do any mods to it? I heard that ITB's on these cars makes this F4R a lot more responsive and sounds better than what it is now.

My ride now, alongside with my dad. A beast to drive.




(two last pictures are two or three days after the car was bought)

nice one Raphi, 530?

[[RDSR] Raphi]

525da LCI, so it's the same engine as the 530. However, the engine is a bit limited, to produce 197hp. A lot enough to go over 230 without any probs and to overtake people who accelerates when they are overtaken: a normal day in France.
And, we're looking to remap this engine to make it at least as powerful as the 530; but the gearbox is limited to 440Nm ZF says. (6hp28)

Photo of my "Fix Or Repair Daily" on holiday in Austria. The photo was taken at the bottom of the Maiskogel at the Kitzsteinhorn resort in Kaprun. As you can see, I was legal for Austrian Motorways with the Vignette in the windscreen

And another photo, this time in Germany when I stopped for a Veal Schnitzel at a service station. I was very jealous of the amount of Teslas behind me

I don't want to start an argument, but the attitude of drivers in France shocked me!

Doing 130km/h overtaking a truck, no one behind me, next thing I know, here comes a French Renault Laguna Estate cruising up to me quite quickly, tailgating me, indicating left and flashing me to move the *Removed* over. My reply? When I got infront of the truck at a reasonable distance, I let him past whilst holding my horn down and flashing my main beams to piss him off. He did not like that one bit, so he pulls into my lane and slows down, so I go for the overtake, then he dangerously pulls out infront. So at this point I was pissed, so I dropped back, then floored it, got past him, looks like he finally stopped being a child and left me alone and turned off at the next exit. And that wasn't the first instance. I have nothing against the French but some of their drivers are clearly quite rude.

you shouldn't have reacted like that tho

[Owl]

By that time Adam, I was completely pissed off at this point. I agree I should've just left it. But there must've been a couple of inches between the bumpers. There was no need to be on my are the entire duration I was overtaking someone. If I had to slam on my brakes for whatever reason, he would've been in the back of me.

it was immature behaviour from both

[Cola]

I've experienced that as well both here in Denmark, Germany and Italy.. I'm confident in saying it's just about being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I hardly believe you can generalize on a certain nation and say that it's just them.

To stay on-topic, here's my two bikes ready to go riding for spring very soon

Cola, I've been considering getting a bike for quite some time but the laws around motorbikes in the UK puts me off getting one as its a complicated system. Is it worth the hassle with the licenses to get a 250cc bike?

[Jimmy]

So i took the car to inspection today, spring on left side was broke 2 and half lap, thats why its so low their i thougt it was lowered, but the funny thing it got forbinden to use for that small stuff.

but i will fix this direct ordering parts today already.

@Raphi Car is pretty standard, panel filter, 192 Scorpion exhaust, 197 cams on apex lowering springs and Cup suspension sat on Team Dynamics Race Pro 3s

Unfortunately I hit a fox whilst doing 60 MPH the other night, had no time to react

Come on, I thought you knew how to inspect cars before buying them...
