I was in London and this came drivi ng by us. My Wife said that Iwas nuts taking a picture of it. I wanted to know what engine was under the hood. I saw e39 520i, 523i, 528i, 530i, 530d, 535i (m30), and 3 M5's all in Bath. Most were 520i's. And I thought my 528i was slow.

This is what happens when you let Bangle pick colors.

You've been warned.

This is where we stayed in Scotland. It is called Dalhousie Castle. These cars called smart car ( I think by Mercedes) were every where they are like taking a office chair and putting some metal and wheels on it and you are off.

Ok check this out and tell me what you think. The castle we stayed in is susposed to be haunted. We got there on oct. 31st. When we got into the room I told Lara to get on the bed and I would take a picture of the room real quick. This one the flash did not go off and it came out a little dark. Check out the room is there any where where something could reflect off of? I could not find anything. So I tryed it again and the flash went off and it came out all foggy like and there is a glowing orb above the right of here head?

While there are a couple small cars in that pic, there aren't any Smart cars. These are Smart cars: http://www.smartcar-owner.co.uk/brief_model_details.htm

And that orb is just dirt on the lens. It looks like there's a lot of dirt on your lens. :)

Funny thing when the CEO and I were on our honeymoon in Europe she would go in the shops and I would stand outside checking out all the cars. We had a great time. Among other cool things, we went to the Monaco GP.
:cool

You normally wouldn't see them, but when you use a flash, the light is reflected off of them and back into the camera. Since they're close to the camera, they're horrendously out of focus.

Smart roadsters are pretty damn cool looking cars, I wish they'd bring them here. The have been out since April of 2003, though.

Those rims are from a 99 540 right? so we can guess it has a V8 in there. Dont try to run from him! It is an Automatic and a non sport as well.

UK cop cars usually have uprated suspension and quite often engine tweaks :)

yea, all the police bmw's in uk are 540's, apart from the armed response tourers, they are 328i's. bear in mind, only 1 in 200 cops are armed in the uk.


the small car in the first pic is a peugeot 206, prob about 1.4 ltr
we are a bit mad about small cars in the uk, if it doesnt hurt when you get in the drivers seat, its to big!!!
(well some of us anyway!!)

A guy down the street has one of these. He is from mexico so its legal down there and they can drive them up here in sd.

first time i saw it i slowed down to get a better look and the guy kept slowing down to. I got down to 15mph and he was not going to pass me?! I finally gave up and accelerated away. what a goof!
