Absolutely and completely unsafe. I've done 95mph but she's better around 75mph.

Yeah no doors, no safety cage, just loads of prayers - lol.

If I were you, i'd have returned that night with a crowbar and a tow truck! lol!

that's the car

Nice

Its really funny how some folks neglect such works of art that others will give an arm and a leg for! I mean, the rear wiper aint even there! Wish it was mine though **sigh..

the Toyota looks really beautiful, I don't know the year, if its a late 90s model or early 2000s. It's got about 180mph on the clock. I asked again whether it was for sale but they said it wasn't. I'll keep asking

Been searching for a Nigerian used version of this car. I've not been lucky! The toks would come at a break neck price certainly. Comes at over £10000 in Uk. If only the owner can be reached and offered a price he can't refuse

Last set, I've done my duty as a card carrying member of Southern California Chapter of BMW Owners Club of America

Sir, I have a question. The second (to the last) and last car pictures have a special set of tires. What's the name of the type and does it have any special features?

Saw the 4th picture packing dust in trinity in Apapa I knew it was a classic Beemer when I saw it.

That ride is as problematic as it gets. With a v12 engine that's not as responsive or agile to having two of most of it's engine parts. Two batteries like that. Let's not talk of fuel consumption and reliability issues. In the naija clime, it has a lot of reasons to pack dust like LASEMA.

the 850/840 doesn't appeal to me...

2nd to last picture shows a 70' or early 80's BMW 320i. It has been significantly lowered and aftermarket rims are being used. It has had the wheel arches widened. The tires are regular low profile tires but are undersized for width so as to cause to to stretch over the rims so as to clear the wheel arches. I've run set up like that on my 190e before. It is dangerous (IMHO) and a ticket item if a Police Officer is bored and wants to pick on you.

Last picture shows a 60's or 70's BMW 2002. By far my most admired BMW of all time, followed closely by the BMW Bavaria. For any BMW lovers please pass on some love whenever you see a BMW 2002. This was the breakthrough model for the marque. The popular rumor is that if the BMW 2002 had failed to sell successfully then BMW would have folded as a company. Luckily for us it sold tremendously and the company is still here today.

The car is pictures in a race track. It will have special racing tires that will offer tremendous grip.

Nice cars but I love to own nothing but the amazing 1989 Chevy Impalla.

Hi Youngboss,

where do you stay? and is the Supra still there?

Cheers

yungboss:

there's a Toyota supra close to my mechanics workshop,a shop that deals on Japanese cars, I approached the owner of the shop, if the supra was for sale, he said NO...it's been there for a while, grounded. Auto tranny...

Truth be told, you will hardly get as much feel great feeling from modern production cars as you would get from classic cars. i love american muscle cars and i cannot bring myself to buy a modern muscle car. they all look alike and they are too refined unlike the classics, they are unique and their 'unrefined' driving dynamics will put a smile on anyone privileged enough to sit in the car.
Dream classics to own are 1978-79 Ford mustang shelby gt500 eleanor and the Porsche 911(have not yet decided on the model year-still carrying out my research)
