Specifically, this picture, http://www3.xfreehosting.com/teen/ffoog/98/20.jpgwhich you should not view,even if you are over eighteen years old and not offended by studded tires and naked women, and BMW's sans bras. Or maybe only if you are a stud, and offended by women with bras, and naked BMWS. Or maybe a naked stud, with a BMW, and no naked women(AS IF!) For the good of the group I implore you all not to look. I know that I have never visited this site, and I would not want anyone else to look at such a thing either.

Apologies all, who may have not looked either. http://www3.xfreehosting.com/teen/ffoog/98/20.jpg I think this is the one I meant for everyone not to look at. I think the word 'which' got sucked (no pun intended) into the link, by mistake, of cours.. I just want to make it clear that under no circumstnaces, should anyone click on these disgusting, impure links. happy New Year!

Range Rover advice Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think there's a least one person on list with a Range Rover, so I'm hoping for some advice: Thinking about a Range Rover (previous generation model, something in the 1997-1999 model years) as tow vehicle (part of a potential club racer project) and winter transportation. Any comments re suitability for application, 4.0 vs. 4.6 engine, and anything specific to look out for on R-R's of this vintage? Also, referrals to good Internet resources (equivalent to the UUC digest)?

I shut it down immediatly after watching plastic fan blade parts in the rear view mirror. no dammage! got a new pump fan and radiator covered by warranty! old fan clutch was reinstalled. dealer sent flatbed out. the mechanic said that this engine is very durable and i could have made it home with out damaging the engine about 2 miles about a year later the clutch bearings went out. had overheat again had to purhase new fan clutch. 2000 Radiator neck blow out at around 60Kagain drove about 3 miles each time at 45 to 50 miles per hour till and did a shut down till cool for a 3 times without engine damage . This car is still doing well with close to 100,000 miles. my only problems now are headliner droopsy door panel vinyl shrinkage occasional brake light checks "only when the MTX BASS is up" and loss of the temperature button on OBC from overuse. also the bong sound from OBC warning has not gonged in almost 3-4 years. I don't really miss that. ps A retired metalurgist from Germany told me that the metal from german steel is more compact (with lower voids) and makes for better knives and engines. or maybe this is just a tale for nationalism for his country S.

This is my single layer suit that I used when I raced formula ford for three years and comes with Nomex underwear (including socks and balaclava(?) (hood sock) Size large and in good shape. Not beautiful but will get you in the show! First $100.00+ shipping cost gets it. P.S. if you buy the suit I will tell you how I didn't have to spend big bucks on shoes and was legit:) Thanks for the slightly 0T post:) Ben Dixon '95 325i '72 2002's Three TD's ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(7 messages) **********
