It's alright Toastyone, it's a car people love to hate so I've grown accustom to it. It's devilish fast and the torque steer isn't that much of a problem, it's the wheelhop. That can be fixed with the some $60 aftermarket motor mounts.

I have it in storage right now(I'm deployed overseas) and I'm seriously thinking about trading it for a Nissan 350z when I return, just because I've wanted one since they came out.

I have a managing position in Philips, my wife works on her own (don't know the english word) so we can put 2 cars on her company and one is a company car from Philips. It's not that I put down the full amount for those cars myself, now that would be insane. ;)

Please do remember that I'm not 16, but way past the 30 line.

I still think each car has it's own values. I've seen your cars and I don't tend to call them ****. How old are you to be driving such a car? Everything is relative, I've worked very hard my entire life and it's starting to pay off. ;)

PS. I'm not from Belgium, I'm originally South-African. I just live and work here as SA doesn't support my graduation.

I don't drive one of them, they're my parents and sister's car, but since I have my theory license I'm looking for a E30 M3 myself, but I was only able to find 1 in belgium, wich was Red :pinch:

Theory license ... So do I have to conclude that you're 18~19? In that case, why would you get an M3? You hardly have any experience and you will, trust me, push that gas pedal to its limits. Ah well ...

Ps. How will you get an insurance for this? An M3 is a z-type car therefore you have to be 23+.

we own a big field behind our garden where I have driven all kinds of cars since my 13, so I don't need to learn how to drive actually, but to use the rules when driving. since an M3 is from about '89 It belongs to the 'oldtimer' category and insurance is piece of cake because I will only drive in the weekend and go to college during he week :cool:

It also has a private road(aprox. 1,5km) with tarmac leading to the field. :p

I think James R was refering to the whole having to pay attention to absolutely everything when you're on the road. On private land, you don't have to look out for much. On the roads, reading the traffic and pedestrians constantly does get quite knackering.

Anyhoo, I drive a 1.6 Ford Focus Ghia.

Why thank you, that's exactly what I mean.

my newer vehicle. although i've had it since late august, i just never got around to taking decent pictures of it are here.

My dad signed over his 1978 Honda Supersport. Its my dads prized posession bike and had it since before he knew my mother. My dad signed over this bike because my old motorcycle (a 1979 honda hawk 400cc Twin Carb). Its drivetrain droped on the yellowhead (a highway that goes through my city) in the month of july and i havn't been lucky finding a decent priced motorcycle that runs fine. and he wants a goldwing.

I am taking very good care of it. Its never been droped once, (although i have had one close call). and runs like a dream. If you notice the back seat is maroon, that is because the back seat is from a part bike sitting behind our garage, and we are repairing the original seat to original condition right now. It is a rare bike and I am very privileged to own this bike. Like i said, its my fathers baby, he even has the original bill of sale from 1979.

Here are 3 pictures of it, i feel these are my three best pictures that show off this bike.. I do have more though.

      Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.

      Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.
