Car TalkRe: ***You Can Actually Get A Cheap, Good Car At Salvage Auction*** by Emperoh(m): 9:45pm On Sep 29, 2013
realvenc: Does the info provided about the cars on the salvage auctions detail the problems with the cars. So one can estimate cost of restoration
I will advice u to stick to these 3 auctions; IAAI, Manheim and Copart.
With them, you know what you are up against and not some other dodgy looking deals.
In the event you need access, to these get in touch.
Christianity EtcRe: Is It Wrong To Worship In One Church And Pay Tithe In Another Church? by Emperoh(m): 2:02pm On Sep 29, 2013
This question further exposes the division churches are creating all in the name of God!
There is only one God and wherever you worship, it should be the same God.

Any person who says it's bad to pay tithe to another church is simply a Businessman Church, you should flee from such a person.
Pay your tithe anywhere and to any church. It is still the same God we are all worshiping. His work we are still spreading.

Tithe is not for Father and Pastor or any Gaddamn prophet!
It is for ensuring that the house of God is in order.
You can also give alms to the poor. It is part of tithing. Afterall, "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me"

Am surprised this place is still relatively calm!


So we lost again! Anyway, we will keep Moyes some slack.

But like i said last week, someone needs to motivate this team.
I can't see hunger, driver, passion. I can't see it!

These qualities were what won us games and not how good we were.
At best, we had 5 world class players and bunch of average goons that somehow had the drive to move mountains.
Now that Fergie the mountain mover is off the scene, we can now see what we have.

RuuDie: Nothing wrong with Moyes' selection jor... minus RvP and Shinji, wasn't this almost the same the side that played Leverkusen!? Why didn't you criticize them then?
My wahala is not selection.
Being able to instill drive into this team is my issue
We just didn't come to the table. . . . .can Rooney share his fighting spirit with others?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:40pm On Sep 22, 2013
RuuDie: Yes, it does...but if City lose to Cardiff, Norwich and Swansea; and we beat Cardiff, Norwich and Swansea... does losing to City matter anymore!?
Certainly it does. . . . . cos this is a Derby!!
Bragging rights mate! 1 nil won't pain me. But 4-1, or 1-6 like Fergie once lost?
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:38pm On Sep 22, 2013
elampiro: Had this fixture came in November, the coach would have had it much easier picking his starting line up. Today, the coach decided to stick to the guys who have been doing the job for him this season. Perhaps, Nani and Kagawa could have help in retaining the ball. But they too weren't looking very superb in the last outings. Had the score been slim, the changes would surely have been different. We could have seen Chicharito planted in the box for a late rally for goals.

But Young may have just lost his place in the starting line up.
Selection is one of the problems!
It is a no brainer today's game saw a team without motivation, hunger, drive, determination
Nothing to suggest the Man Utd come back DNA!
I didn't see it!

What happened to that? Did it go with Fergie?

and for those slating Giggs, we can now see why he gets on the starting line-up!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:31pm On Sep 22, 2013
RuuDie: What I absolutely hate most in a game of football is grown-a$$ men, players who claim to "big", losing hope, letting their heads drop when they can still effect a change in their teams fortunes.

For heaven's sakes, we were 4-0 down with 30mins left on the clock --- what stops us from putting in sufficient effort for a fightback --- and then that b@st@rd goes and misses a sitter that may could potentially lift the spirit of the players and fans! angry

Anyways, I won't despair any further...afterall, its David Moyes and squad of "mediocres" --- nobody gave a chance anyway! grin
Spot the difference!!
Two coaches! One achieved something with a team of average players.
Another is starting off with same team, showing signs that he can't motivate a team. . . . bingo. . . . 1 point from a possible 9!!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:11pm On Sep 22, 2013
elampiro: David Moyes, speaking to Sky Sports:
"He had a groin strain during the week. I thought he might have been ok today, but not quite. We gave it every chance up until this morning. It is nothing serious. He could have a chance for Wednesday against Liverpool in the League Cup."

I think this was the actual blow. Last minute realisation that RVP would not be playing.
,

Given, RVP is our biggest striker, bar Rooney!
But are we saying that without him, we can't hurt teams?

We have a certain Hernandez? A certain Kagawa who is a flair and sleek baller, A certain Nani who has got trickery and can unlock defences
Abeg, we are no one man team! I blame Moyes for not responding to the circumstances.

Let's even look at it this way. Fergie would have rotated teams and seen this game as priority, jigging up these players.
But i am not sure that has happened here!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:05pm On Sep 22, 2013
elampiro: My blame for goal number 2 or 3(not too sure which of them) goes to Ferdinand.
You could blame him for an immediate non-response
But what of people losing their markers?

Someone was brought in to do some shielding and man marking. . . . .but i guess he forgot his grit at Goodison park.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:03pm On Sep 22, 2013
superstar1: Indeed you a confirmed first class retardeen.
How many world class coach repeats the same team for 2matches in modern day. Rotation is the name idiot.

Yes fergie lost games but fergie team was renowned for being come back kings and always snatching victory from the jaws of lions, that is a coach that fires up is team in 2nd half even in the face of below average performance in 1st. If it is not every single time the word of coaches motivates team, victory will not be embedded in the DNA of MUFC.

Your idiocy is world class, when the best you can do is to exonerate the Coach.
No Futbol analyst will spare DM on this. He took him how many hours to realise in needs a 3man CM.

I am his fan and I do support him but that doesn't mean I should not point out his errors when he errs
Bros, you don't wanna get into this fight.
Trust me, you don't!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 7:00pm On Sep 22, 2013
Ibime: Left to me, this is the only Utd line up that coulda competed today:

4-3-3/4-5-1 or whatever you wanna call it.

Rooney

Welbeck/Zaha Kagawa. Nani

Cleverley. Fellaini/Carrick

Evra. Vidic. Smalling/Evans. Valencia
So where's you cover for the flanks?

The coach chose a team that could deliver the goods and i had no issues with that.
But when things go kaput, you expect a rejig.

that's where i had issues
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 6:54pm On Sep 22, 2013
Cristalz: But the question remains, was Rio the only one to blame for today's performance?
That's just my grouse. Why are people picking on individual players when the collective performance was a total waste?

It's not like the backline was doing so well but Rio kept exposing everyone. What about Vida, Evra, De Gea, Smalling??
It is always good for people to pick on players who they've had issues with in the past, per quality.
This will be jst to sustain an argument. Sadly!!

The who team stank!!! Aside, Rooney.
When did Manchester United suddenly become scared of City?
Omo, abuse get level oo. . . . . .

and then someone will come here and tell me Fergie didn't do better!

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Emperoh(m): 6:27pm On Sep 22, 2013
Anybody who blames Rooney in this game watched it upside down!!
Dude was our best player by miles

If other players had half as much energy and industry as he had, we wouldn't lose this game!
City came at us with aggression and hazzle and we chickened out. Yet someone is blaming Rooney!!!


Where was Valencia when Kolarov breezed past him to score goal 1?
Where was Fellaini when he lost his marker, Toure for goal no 2?
Where was Fellaini again for goal no 3? Ball watching cos Aguero breezed past him and tapped in!
Where was Fellaini again for goal no 4? Mscheww!!!

Nonsense!!! We deserved what we got! Maybe it's time to question the quality of some of the average players we got!

xerotop: @emperor
To be more realistic and tell u d truth. D c class is a cheaper to maintain than d E46.
U don't need any1 2 choose for u.just take a look around u and see d conditions of d 2 cars in question. The benz give more peace of mind.
Technical know how is another thing to consider. How many competent bmw technicians do u have arround u?
Also availabily of parts and affordability. D benz is better.
Also check dis out, u will find more people with cclass using their ac than the E46, Y?
Another example, when my E46 had transmission issue. I was told d price for replacement was about 160k cos it was 20 pin.
A friend had transmission issue on his c class and got areplacent for 70k. Check out d diff.
I have had 6 of those bmws and I will still have more by Gods grace. So this is not book review and fantasies. I have also had 2 c class benz. So I can tell d diff.
Bmw is my childhood fantasy so I can let go but am taking a break for a while for benz.
My advise
Go to parts market and find out things for ur self.
Then make ur decision from what u get and find out from people who have those 2 cars and not people who people who read reviews.
Xerotop,

You have given the closest to practicality! Because in the end, it will be an everyday car and i am not sure how many times i will get into the racing mode. . . . . . sincerely, i am carried away by the elegance of the Benz. But the online reviews are have given it to the BMW even on fuel consumption.

But my main concern lies in being able to keep the car without having to burn a hole in my pocket.
Asking this question here is part of the research. I will still take a trip to the parts market when i am set to pull the trigger.
But in all, i look to drive either of the two cars.

I will still make other with more experiences using the E46. . . . . grin grin
Thank you for the information

No one is being practical here.
maybe i need to do my own findings. grin grin cheesy cheesy

Owners, what does it cost to keep any of the two cars??
if the benz is cheaper to keep, trust me, i am dumping the few more torque and responsiveness of the bmw for the benz
And if it's the bmw? Well, God must have buttered my bread. Heads of tail, i win. . . . . . . ok, unless fixes and spares turn out to be expensive and i mean, more expensive than the normal Jap mobile!

Car TalkRe: BMW Owners' Forum by Emperoh(m): 1:59pm On Sep 16, 2013
Ikenna351: @ Emperoh & au.hanson,

I wonder why you guys are so scared of BM, especially the E46.

I took a special interest in E46 328 sometime last year. From my finding, after physically examining or studying one, it's a complete DIY car. Every injection component is well layed out on the engine, and easily reached. A very simple injection system, to my understanding.

My point is, if iam to add another RWD to my collection, E46 328 it will be, for now.

So, guys, have no fear.

Ikenna
And cost of replacement parts?

U know, am looking at it to be sure it's something that won't bore a hole in one's pocket.
I can also see that there are divergent views on which is a better car.

Some give it to BMW while a good number disagrees. One thing going for the Mercedes is the design and finishing.
They are top notch and eye catching! But practicability is another thing really.

Which costs reasonably cheaper/easier to keep?

Gee2728: I drive a W202 C230kompressor, but honestly any given sunday I'll pick that E46 banger over that wacky W203 C240. Pls dnt be fooled that C240 slow infact all day long it wld never run away from my kompressor. The interior maybe well finished but for me that's all abt it.

Was once in a friends E46 330ci, mennn for every time he put his foot on the gas I felt as if my neck was going 2 break. Those E46 are devilishly fast. The maintenance are usually the normal routine, trust me u'll so enjoy this car u'll want to service it even when its not due. But pls shine ur eyes and choose wisely when u buy so that u'll not get a beat down one. Best at it.
Thank you Gee.
I guess i am being carried away by the looks really.
Quite elegant and classy. . . . .the BMW doesn't have that refinement unless the 5 series of the same year range.

Per the bolded, anything i should look out for? Or any particular limits to be conscious of?

Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by Emperoh(m): 10:21pm On Sep 15, 2013
Emperoh: You know, this your advice is ringing like a bell in my ear now as i try to decide what to get for personal use and an eventual everyday run around.
My first choice will be a 325i or a C240 4Matic. But hey, cost of maintenance? I really need to consider this.
Getting the car one off isn't where all the problem lies. But, what will it cost to keep? What will labor for a normal maintenance trip cost me? Normal parts like, shocks, CV joints, plugs, sensors and what have you, what will it cost me?

I am tempted of making a detour to the Japanese that can sustain some sort of abuse, but how can i sacrifice my craving for a German machine?

Can we have a debate on what it costs on the average to keep a compact German car? Specifically, the E46 325 or 328i?
Awaiting your responses!
Au.hanson

I posted the above in the BMW thread but i decided to throw it you as well since you are the MB guru.
What do you think about the W203. I am looking at getting the 05 C240 4Matic or 260 whichever,

What's your thought on the C230 Kompressor? I had read somewhere you said that naturally aspirated engines are better of?
Can you guide a brother!
