holy shit ajax ! long time no see posts

when I got the '79 635csi, I had to go up into dudes attic to get it all. The door panels, all four seats, etc. it was in beautiful condition. (silver car with red leather...).

I can't say I didn't peek around to see if he had some old Sheels tucked away somewhere. lol

would move back south and daily drive the hell out of this....

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-bmw-3-0cs-6/

I almost bought one of these back around '91. Same color scheme. Silver with the blue leather. It came in on trade at the Mazda dealer I worked at. Clean AF since no rust, but the back seat headrests and backrests were pretty sad. The leather effed from the Florida heat and sun. They were looking to get $6k for it back then.

Would have been a fun car. I knew absolutely nothing about them but damned that car just grabbed you. Such a good looking machine. Very sexy lines.

yo...! anyone on any Audi forums ?

looking for one that isn't lame duck. I am picking up an Allroad and I went to the allroad forum and there's about as much action as a dead fish.

I mean look at this shit. buncha posts with ZERO responses.

https://www.allroad.org/

That's about as bad as bimmerforum's E70 thread Dead Horse

wondering if anyone has any experience with the Audi forums and had any recommendations...

appreciate ya in advance....

Forums are dead for the most part. Thank Facebook.

Our Subaru forums used to be INSANELY active. I think I have 60k posts between the 2 of them. They're dead now. A couple of us old farts say hi every now and again. Nasioc... some folks still use classifieds. But it's all regional on Facebook and shitty. Need to be in 12 Subaru groups to keep up.

What type of stuff are you looking for? I have a few Audi heads in my list of friends. 034 guys. Etc.

I think Reddit killed forums more than facebook. Why would you bother with a specific forum when you could get all the forums in one place?

Reddit’s recent API changes could change that, but it’s unlikely.

hey army !!

not looking for anything in particular really, just responsiveness when you're working on solving some of the odd issues that come up with these types of vehicles. and people that know wtf they are doing...LOL

bimmerforum's E39 thread is really active. It's a good community for repairs, mods, etc.... There's lots of good people on there with tons of history. hell, I still jump in to help people despite not being E39'd up anymore. mye28 is a good one too.

I can always count on responses in those two forums.

DO NOT GET AN ALLROAD

Unless you can do the timing chain yourself it's a 5k fix because audi thought that it would be a good idea to put it in the back of the engine, also the air ride is prone to failure.

Wasn’t the AllRoad so bad that Doug Demuro ran one over with his Land Rover?
