Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1, has just come out with his new supercar, and successor to the F1, and it has a NA Cosworth V12 and a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Never thought I'd see another supercar with a stick shift. Listening to him speak in this video, I love where his head is at with designing the car, and the experience he wants it to deliver. Excited to see more of this one.

Do females go thru a mid life crisis around 40ish?
My GF recently has gone haywire. Now she's dressing like she's 20 and listening to the weekend (sp?) and the Taylor Swift.
It's like the 90s and 00's never existed (used to be her fave era for country music, as well as pop).
...is this normal?
If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

Installing a diff cooler, cool suit, fuel swirl pot and lexan windows in this e36 and the rivnuts made quick/neat work. Still have to install the windows and my forearms already feel like Popeye after installing so many.
The old Sea Kings had them all over the place to hold trim panels and they would always be stripped.
Easy to remove/install, super light, but pretty low on durability.Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30

I do know that their sex drive supposedly goes up in their 40s so maybe she wants it. We will need pics of before and after to determine if thats the goalSimon

I've not had to do the alternator on a 3.4, and I think that would be a blessing now lol

On the subject of rivets, I have always use Arrow brand tool, never had an issue. Well, the one that's about 3yr old crapped the bed with a stripped mandrel, so grabbed old faithful (about 15yr old) and the stupid rivets were breaking off half way up the shank. Go to the store, get a new Arrow tool for like $30, all the way back tot he shop, it's doing it too. OK, maybe bad rivets, go buy the expensive rivets at $7 50ct. Back to the shop, THOSE are breaking off too WTF. Fed up, worked on something else and stopped by Harbor Fright on the way home to get a new electric motor for the lathe (that's another story, turned out the reversing switch went bad) and I saw this rivet tool for $4.99. Grab on and a box of rivets for like $3 100ct. OMG the HF tool works 3x better then all three of the others. Two pulls and they snap off countersunk.
EDIT: Totally thought I typed "Freight", but decided to leave the pun lol.

Just watched that too. Im quite excited by this but also the T.43 he is coming out with. Supposed to be a car us regular folks can afford. Think Lotus Elise if Gordon had designed it and made it more usable. Should be a hit and if its anything like what I think it will be, I will probably go crazy trying to find a way to buy it

On the (much newer) EH101's, everything was either a potted insert or an anchornut. Both have their own issues, but IMO are more robust
For pop rivets breaking off, I honestly don't know.
Stuff like CherryMax rivets or Avdel/Cherry MBC are pretty sensitive to grip length and using one too long will cause that problem, but I don't think pop rivets do grip lengths?Originally posted by priapismMy girl don't know shit, but she bakes a mean cupcake.Originally posted by shamesonUsually it's best not to know how much money you have into your e30
