Seems like the organizers didn't learn from the past. http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections...spx?ARTID=12474

I also knew Dilshan, from the Mini club as well as being from Kandy. Deepest sympathies to his family. And wish a speedy recovery to fellow mini club member Ajith as well.

Given the choice, what will be the most popular pick? I'll pick the M3 Sedan the first the the M3 came in a Sedan package. - I'm a bimmer fan! Everybody name your choice.

This is tragic. I knew the killed driver personally.

Brake bind?

When you have a theft cover, the Insurance company gets actively involved in tracking down the vehicle. Otherwise they will have to pay the compensation. Word has it that diesel SUVs and vans are the most common target, as they can be sold to the ##### in Vanni.

One of the best repair work I've come across was at M*lr*y's BMW garage. He has all the equipment including the hydraulic work bench and some very talented bodywork technicians who have experience in SL and abroad. He specializes in BMWs but if you know him personally you can persuade him to take other brands too.

My personal preference is SLIC. I was quoted little over Rs100K for 7 Million recently, so comparing the prices you gave, mine seems to be a deal. However the efficiency/ability of your insurance agent matters a lot, because in case of a claim he can act and get things done for you quickly.

I don't think that is a big issue. For example "Astra Fan" one can imply you like Astra Margarine? See name doesn't say it all!

Here we go again......

Dude Priya - For many years Autolanka has been a very closely knit group of individuals, who share a common interest and also respect each others individual opinions. True, that everyone is free to express their own opinion, but it's one's responsibility to do it in such a way that it does not offend others. Else this forum becomes a battle field rather than a car community. We've had some misfits in the past on this forum, who created havoc that led to disrespect of those individuals within Autolanka. Most of them at the end decided to abandon the forums. I see that you are new to the forum, so the last thing the veteran members want to see is a newbie breaking peace on the forum. So just chill and hangout because there's a lot the forums have to offer. PS: Did you say you were at TCK?

Not Nigel's though. Belongs to the Wahabs.

My opinion is SLT is cheaper and offers value for the Rs.2500 you pay. I believe Dialog at twice the price is more aimed at corporate customers. And to the expatriates, don't expect things to be the same in SL as in your adopted country. If that is your expectation, my advice is that you stay there for good!

I was speaking to a friend of mine, who deal in cars about this just a while ago, and he mentioned these vehicle comes with only the body and chassis separated (in the commonly know form of container-bud) even though the authorities are made to believe all parts come separate.

Happy B'day Dillon!

I have the feeling these vehicles will fail miserably in the safety aspect

I'm with you 100% on that.

Try polishing it with "Brasso"

I'm not sure they'll like their names mentioned on the forums.

Nope, it was never in the drag scene those days. I used to see a lady being chauffeured around in it sometime in rush hour traffic. And at some point it had a piggy back ECU installed and custom leather seats. It believe it changed hands again prior to being changed to the current color.

This is the first generation E46 320d, the 2nd generation (after 2002 with a facelift) came with a common rail diesel and that one sell in the range of 5.5- 6 mil.

Salsa MR owned the car after A.D. He was also a pro racer. Raced in the Formula class. That car has been identified as a STi 5 all along, guess it has been upgraded from STi 4 to 5.

It's GC 1555. Formerly owned by Salsa MR - who now owns an EVO X

Nice!

Body comes completely assembled and painted.
