Once upon a time I only bought FORD cars - you have probably never heard of
them. Classic (UK version of the Monterey) with reversed sloping rear window and
no parcel shelf. Then a Zephyr (UK name with US origins) then a Zodiac US
styling with UK mechanicals. Trip into unknown territory an Austin
'Vanden-Plas' 4 litre R with a RR engine (from the Champ army truck I must add).
Then a couple of Imps by ROOTS or Chrysler by then. Back to Ford for the Mk2
Cortina GT then a Mk2 Lotus then back to a Mk2 with a 3 liter V6 (Home brew)
then a Granada 3 litre V6 auto. Whilst in the "trade" I had several RR shadows,
a couple of Ferraris a Dino V6 and an old superleggera or as you might know it
the Super America?? Then my First BMW E3 3.3LiA --- many other BMWs followed
3.3LiA 3.0CSL then divorce but now back on track with my 3rd in the past 10
years.

BTW my Lamborghini P400 Muria was one of the best real super cars I have ever
owned both for pleasure and posing and pulling........... Bright Yellow, 4 liter
V 12 transverse and 6 downdraught Webber carbs behind your left ear!

Now, I'm not calling you a liar, but you should know that your street
cred is *seriously* injured by your inability to spell Weber. I'll
bet you don't know how to pronounce it, either...

So when your 23rd wife divorced you did she, like all before her, check the
"uncontrollable ranting" box

Depends if we're talking carburetors or gas grilles. ;-)

All typos are deliberate and actually I used to know the late John Passini of
webber UK actually it wasn't Webber UK then but a dingy group of sheds in west
London and if you read his book you'll know what I mean. That guy could dyno
tune a Webber carb just by listening to it - well almost as plug reading helped
too. The problem is it is now a lost art.

So don't call me a liar as I could sue you.

dont do that! I have a 740 IL 2001. its got 80k on it. everymonth
somehting goes wrong. so far
nav screen replaced
nav core replaced
engine head gaskets redone
entire tranny replaced
and yesterday the alternator went-another 1500
Just the fact that this much ghad to be done before 80k over the
scheduled maintenance is unacceptable to most people.
non stop drain. while it was under warranty my part of the payment
would be around 1k. now it will never be less than 2k for sure.

its a nice ride, but the maintnence is killer and its not even a 100k
miles on it. the ultimate driving machine.....yea right.
anything but a BMW now. and I have only driven BMWs since 88. my 325 IS
did bettwer than the 740-absurdly expensive car.
