PoliticsRe: Keyamo Declares For 2015 Delta Governorship Race by John317: 9:46am On Mar 12, 2013
Ejiné: True, true.
He's only good at sitting in Lagos and howling about change.
I wonder who he really wants to vote for him in his presidential campaign when he's shown zero seriousness in matters that pertain to Delta.

Same should go for Buhari sha.
If he's so great as he wants people to believe, what stops him from first running for the post of Governor of Katsina, make we assess him abilities?

Atleast Rochas is doing it.
What a joker. Buhari that has run this country in the only right direction we've ever found ourselves should go and prove himself in Katsina state? We are in trouble in this country with the level of ignorance that is out there.

noblezone: Now we know his hidden agenda.

I wish him well, I wish him success.
There's nothing like hidden agenda. This is the reason why Delta state continues to have mediocres. Even the ordinary siddon look person in front of his computer pokes fun at people who can actually do something. I'm sure if Edo state was skeptical about Oshiomhole, they would not be enjoying the dividends of democracy today. SMH

Hello Inspired, you never really got back to me with the carfax details...
Car TalkRe: How Reliable Are BMW Cars? by John317: 10:00am On Mar 06, 2013
obijack: @Logoman,

The only defective thing about a BMW is the Fuel Economy Rating (especially for the older models)

I presently drive a 1989 325ix (the IX means 4 wheel drive) although I had to remove the front shaft and converted the front to normal E30. I bought the car in October 2006 for N120,000. (You may think it is junk). I had to put in another N80,000 for body work and overhaulling of the Engine by a competent BMW mechanic at Ladipo.

To date after 2 years I still own the car, I have spent about 310,000 in both maintenance and repairs including the cost of converting the front wheels to Normal E30.

The car is reliable,Parts are relatively cheap. Last week I had to change the two front shocks with brand new ones (shaft only) for N6,500.00 (SACS brand), Tyrod N3000, Ball Joints 3700 and Labour about N4000.

What I am driving at here is that this is a type of replacement that is done probably once in 12 months or once in 18 months or even 2 years. Although I do not drive much around town as my office is closer to my house, on long travel and on the highway, I always have this feeling of being very safe in the car knowing it will never just suddenly stop unlike what my previous Honda prelude had done a couple of times.

Every car is good but reliability, safety, comfort and don't forget prestige is another thing. The sound of the engine alone is awesome. Once you've driven and heard the sound of the engine roaring, you will never want to let it go. Drive another car and try to listen for that engine sound if you can hear it.

The thing on Fuel is this. The bigger the engine, the better the performance and the more fuel needed. The 3 series range is easy to choose from unlike the 5 series that is strickly 6 cylinders. The lowest is the 316 as erico analysed 3 means 3 series, 16 means 1.6 litres. Other are 318, 320, 325, 325ix, 330, etc.

Furthermore, a 1996 Honda Accord (Bull Dog) hand an MPG of 24 miles, while a 1996 318 (e36) has an MPG of 23. The difference is just 1 mile. Where the Bimmer can go and come back, the Accord will have a heart transplant after it.

Nigeria is so good that you will be presented with the prices for the original and substandard parts. The choice is always yours to make and identifying them is not a problem.

If you live in Lagos and need a good Mechanic, just drive down to Ladipo. Any part seller will recommend a good mechanic for you. All you have to do is just call him and he will come and pick up your car.

BM forever.

Forget Niga roads.

If the car is not good pple will not be falling over one another to own it.

It is a machine, not a toy like those Japanese.

Good luck.

Peter.
