Loads of ballers on here

[mho]

Hi all,
My name is Michael and I have been reading this forum for a while now but not posting. After reading Tilly's post about his new car thought I'd make my first proper post.
It's quite inspiring the amount of ballers on this one forum. Tilly getting a 40k car at the age of 21, and I think I read Juber is 19? driving a nice TT convi. Then there's member's pre-ordering the new GTR, owning Porsche Turbos, and the best thread must have been this one guy (forget his name) just randomly buying a lambo lol. You guys all seem to be doing well in life financially/career wise and it's nice to see people enjoying life this way.

I'm currently 23 (24 in April :S so many things to do so little time) and have had a e36 325i coupe since I was 21 (and I thought that was good! lol). I've lived in London nearly all my life and finally graduating this summer after 6 years of study (medicine with another BSc in-between). Really looking forward to earning finally (though NHS is really trying hard to cut our pay!), and am thinking of treating myself to a new car when I do.
Ideally would love a e46 M3 but really doubt I will be able to afford one as its about 25k for a decent one. I'd settle for a z4, hopefully 3.0, get one for about 15k or so. I've already got a private number plate for a new car :p

Just thought I'd introduce myself and say hi, mods please move this post to the relevant section if it's in the wrong place.

Hi,

Welcome to the mad house mate. If you really wanted an M3 you could pick a good 2003 coupe for less than 20k.

[FullHouse]

welcome and enjoy, are you more a car fan or want to get involved in the modding scene too.

[BigFas]

welcome dude, hope you'll have fun here :) ballers or not, we're a happy(ish) family and all are welcome.

[Mud]

Welcome along mate, you can find decent M3s for £15-£18k now.

[mho]

yep would like to mod my next car too.
Currently on my 325 coupe there's:
- oem mtech front, rear bumper and spoiler
- full black leather interior
- supersprint exhaust
- red and clear rear lights, cleared indicators
- gen 6 angel eyes
- carbon fibre roundels on bonnet and boot
- leather central arm rest
- jbl sub and amp, sony cd changer, sony mp3 head unit
- 18" ACS type 3 racing reps

It's mainly just cosmetics on this car as mileage is very high so didn't bother to do any performance enhancements.
Tbh atm the car is not in too great of condition. The passenger side got keyed leaving a fairly long scratch mark, and a 4x4 must have reversed into the bonnet leaving another dent. I'm not really bothered in fixing these now as its an old car ('92) and it gives me a reason to move on lol.

Welcome Michael :cool:

I was exactly in your shoes back in 1998, 10 years on life is good :D

Which college are you at? I graduated from UCH (Royal Free Campus).

Trust me, you will get your M3, Z4 etc etc ........ ;)

[mho]

Peppernick I'm at Barts and just found out today I'll be staying in that Deanery for the next two years.
Glad to see Doctors can afford cars like you do :p
Hospital or GP?

[peppernick]

Excellent! :cool: I've got plenty of friends at the Royal London, all car crazy :D

Hospital medicine, gastroenterology/hepatology.

[mho]

cool, I am looking forward to finally working......just a bit scary!

[peppernick]

......just a bit scary!
Just like modding cars, scary initially, additive once you get the hang of it, and get paid for it ;)

[Y1 4MER]

Enjoy m8 oh yea jus 2 let u know we already a funny "Doc Matt" :)

[mho]

lol yeah I've read some of his post, he has a way with words.

What I can't find though is a members journal or something? What's the best way to look at the wonderful cars you have on here?

[Y1 4MER]

not sure there is, jus by viewing threads with pics on them or guys sigs at bottom of there posts.

[Black Sabbath]

Welcome along,enjoy the forum.Get some pics of your car up

[mystic sport]

and here's a recent photo of it
http://www.megapixel-photos.com/325b.jpg

the m3 mirrors were stolen, got rid of the brows and wheels had changed.

[XKaLiBaR]

welcome mate, i really think you should get an m3. they are not 25k, unless you want a 05/06 plate, or a convertible.

my friend just started work at royal free last year. pay sucks for the amount of work he did to get his degree, and the hours he works.
but it will all change eventually, once his upgraded.

[adood84]

welcome to the forum :)

[Juber]

Hey mate, welcome.

Things is you have the education and back up, i have NVQ's, open university courses and GCSE's thats it! lol! so your grades WILL get you far in life when your a sucessful Doctor. :)

Get your slef working for a few months and think about the M3, i bet you will change your mind, there is so much to chose from! like others have said a decent M3 can be picked up for circa £20k now!

All the best!

PS: i like your 325, looks very mean in them pics :)

Hello mate welcome to the site :)

Loving the 325 and if you want to upgrade to an M3 it's very possible at 23 I should know ;) Although insurance is extremely painful :eek:

Don't believe the 25k hype you could pick up a real nice one for 18-20 K

Good luck :)

[MEGA]

welcome dude, hope you'll have fun here :) ballers or not, we're a happy(ish) family and all are welcome.

And Fas likes to get particularly happy:

Welcome to the forum mate

[Styler]

Welcome Doc! You e36 looks very clean :cool: You'll be cruising around in a
M3 in no time. You thought your time at uni went fast, wait till you start working, the years fly by. I graduated almost 4 years ago, and time has gone past so quick!

Enjoy the forum.

[Mehmet]

Welcome along mate :)

[mho]

Styler I do love your M3 vert, nice front, nice rims and nice interior. Maybe you'll want to sell me it when I start looking :p

Thanks, you never know. Those pics are a bit old, made some changes since (looks and sounds even better now hahaaha). This year i'm gonna go all out, got some big plans, but they may turn into tiny plans once the missus finds out! lol

There are lots of nice looking cars on the forum, you can pick up lots of ideas and inspiration from here for your own car and by coming to Evotechnik meets and seeing them in the flesh.

how much do you pay for your insurance if you don't mind me asking?
I live in probably the worse post code you can have for car insurance, it's just so expensive in inner London. I'm still on my dad's policy with Direct Line, been with them for a while so have a bit of 'named driver' NCD, how much use that will be I'm not too sure yet.

[BMW JAY84]

PM sent mate. Hope your sitting down :o

Hi Michael

Welcome to the forum. Well all these things will be possible as it sounds like you are starting a good career.

You also live in a country where (to me) cars are dirt cheap, ok not cheapest in the world but to me still extremely cheap. Sounds like u have worked hard for the past 6 years at med school, and I am sure it will all pay off soon. Just make sure you post pics when it does!! :D

[scorcher]

Welcome!

What rims are on your car now? Those black ones looked very cool.

[mysticm3]

Welcome to the forum Michael, glad to have another car nuthead in the London area.

Peppernick is a good example of a hard working doctor that deserves to be paid accordingly, looking through his old posts will get you somethign to look up to :)

Best of luck with your job but don't forget modding at the same time. This will keep you going :D

ps LMAO @ Mega's pic. You are so dead.

[mho]

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone, it really is friendly around here :p

Scorcher: those black rims were some old momo arrows sprayed black, one of them unfortunately had a crack in it and I could not find another 18" momo arrow anywhere so I got a set of 18" ACS Type 3 racing reps.

Teddy: I've bought a couple of things of you before for my uncle's 330Ci, will be coming to you with all my modding needs when the time comes! I am happy to find out that peppernick is a Doctor, he seems to be living a good life and so there is light at the end of the tunnel lol.

[adood84]

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone, it really is friendly around here :p

Oh as you can see here:D:D (http://forum.evotechnik.net/showthread.php?t=19337)

[ShaanK]

best advice, never post a pic of yourself ;)

nice car, any side view pics of that? the front looks very clean and mean. I like it :)

M3 - I've looked from time to time and they have come down a lot. As has been said 18k or so will get you a nice one without silly miles in the colour combo you want.

[mysticm3]

yeah Nick is a nice doctor, if you learn how to 'kiss ass' like him, you'll be driving a E92 M3 in no time LOL :D

I am sure he'll be here shortly to explain what it is all about....wahahaha

[Ali]

Hahahahahahaha!!!!

Nick, i'm waiting for a good come back!

[peppernick]

Essential skills in life ......... lolol :D

[Doc Matt]

Welcome to the forum mate, Yep years of study pays off. I'm a doctor of gynacology specialising in endoscopy and gyrominges.

Glad to have you on board :D

[Tilly]

Matt also acts as a sanitary towel in his spare time... WTF?!

Lol welcome to the forum dude :D

[Vin]

hey mate, ive got loads of mates in their final year at Barts (i went to QMW). keep going im sure the 6 years will be worth it. M3 will be chip shop money when you become a consultant lol

[mho]

Ha ha don't want to wait until then to get a m3, need one now! :p

[BMW JAY84]

Wish I could get one now, but main priority is to revise and pass final exams. Then I'm off to Italy in March to snowboard, and then Canada for a month to work for a bit and PARRRTTTAAAYY!!!! :p

Probably will get the car at end of this year.
