    Nice car!

    lol @ someone not selling it to you because it is too powerful.

    I'm jealous, looking at these nice VR6's i'm very tempted to buy one - They are a special car.

    haha I thought the same!!

    Mint VR6 mate. That's an epic score for a young'n. I remember looking back for one several years ago but they were way out of reach for a 16 year old back then

    And after 2 weeks of ownership, I'm starting to have a problem

    Driving back home tonight from a mate's place in Auburn, the coolant temperature light started flashing on the M5 which worried the crap out of me, but the temperature gauge was hovering at 90 degrees (normal) which really confused me.. Pulled over and popped the hood, and my god was the engine hot Left it sitting there for a bit to cool down while we opened the coolant lid and let some pressure out, before we decided sack it, leave it here and get it checked on Monday..

    Checked in the manual which said if the light is flashing but gauge is normal, the coolant is low and should be filled up, but it was pretty much full when we popped the hood so I'm confused! I've built up a theory that the gauge has carked it and that's why it was showing normal temperatures.. Wait and see I guess Any ideas?
