It doesnt have enough flat roof for any surfboard I imagine.


I remember when I was back in high school the coolest surf mobile outside of a 21 window VW bus was an old BMW 2002.

Back in the day I was proud to drive my board on one of these.
Gas was 39 cents a gallon and I had to watch the expenses. :shock:

My surf car was similar to this one. What it doesn't show is the back seat folds out to a bed and there is netting above the bed that can hold a shortboard.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

3.5, heavily modified! I'm struggling with it as it is a manual and the last time I drove a manual was when I was doing my driving lessons 10 years ago.

Don't know much about cars and I don't even know what Torque means. It's around 276bhp.

So the seller posted this mods and I haven't got a clue of what they do. lol
19" Varrstoen Wheels fitted with MPSS tyres
Invidia True Dual exhaust system, with Invidia Sports Cat's fitted
Lightweight Pulley's
Eibach adjustable ARB's
Meister R Zeta S coilovers and a pair of adjustable Camber Arms
Super Pro Bannana Arm bushes
DBA discs with Ferodo DS2500 pads all round
HEL braided lines fitted
K+N Tyhoon intake fitted

and a bunch of cosmetic stuff.

All I know is that I was able to keep up with the Porsche Carrera from a drag race.

And this is the sound of the exhaust. I hated it because I associate chav racers with loud exhaust. Wanted to change it to something quiet but all my friends are telling me don't do it.

It's difficult to hold a conversation in the car at high speed.
