    For a slight variation, I have a couple of German drift cars, rather than the Jam norm.

    First up is the default German choice, the E36 Coupe.

    It's a 328, on HSD coilovers, modified steering lock, welded diff, hydraulic hand brake.

    It basically gets abuse:D

    This is when it was minty fresh, before I owned it!

    Then after a bit of abuse, it was crashed, blown up and rebuilt, just to get abused again!

    My other drift project is a bit cleaner, a Merc C230 Kompressor.

    It's a manual, has a bit more torque than the E36, and along with a welded diff and hydraulic handbrake, it is also a good little drifter, but nice and understated with it!

    I also have another E36, a 323i saloon, the one with the 325 engine.

    It is a very tidy car, and has new coilovers, but I need to sell something, so I think it might be this that bites the bullet:(

    I don't see why you wouldn't sell the merc both e36's have pretty interchangeable parts so if something does go wrong it's right there at your disposal?

    that's Nazi's Luftwaffe sign, for those who havent learnt much in school, it's Nazi air force, same who bombed England during the war killing many,they have been fighting 1940-44 here.

    Today German Air Force logo is different in shape.

    In the danger of sounding like a history lesson here...we did the same.

    The Balkenkreuz does have minor differences to the current Iron Cross shown by the Modern Luftwaffe and it isn't the "Nazi Luftwaffe" so much as of the Wermacht, they pre-date the Nazi movement.

    So - debunch yonder panties, he could have gone full offensive and used this one:

    So, paint any vehicle with any sort of military insignia and someone will be "offended" :thumbs:
