Someone I know from the car club lent them his Sapphire Cosworth for tonights episode and posted about it on Facebook, I replied that the show looked crap from the trailer, especially after seeing someone's Honda NSX getting crashed into some tires and that I'll be giving it a miss, only for one of his mates to give me some right lecture about being ignorant and how hes calling me out for stupidity and ignorance because I'm unbelievable wrong?! 😂
Glad to see I was proved right now!

All good guesses but Mr. @cort16was spot on!
Which means I must be buying M52b28 powered BMWs pretty much every 3 months at this point.
As mentioned this is the first time I bid in a live online auction that's not eBay. The car started at 2000 and bidding started immediately. I thought why not put a test bid in before the price rises too high as I only really considered winning this one if it was cheap. For some reason those previous bids were immediately retracted (some kind of mistake on-site?) which meant I now suddenly had the highest bid at 2100 quid. To my surprise nobody bothered bidding any higher and I won the bloody car...
Not a problem as this is a fairly well specced 2.8 Z3 in what appears to be tidy condition. With auction fees the total comes to £2305, and it's worth that all day long. I'm hoping the weather holds up and I can turn the collection into a nice trip through the Yorkshire moors!

There's been a massive photo dump of pictures uploaded on the ACA Polonez, it's a bit frilly!

When I bought my Capri the drivers seat had a annoying hole from where the original elderly owner used to slide into the car 


It's been bugging me all year, I've been struggling to find a replacement without spending silly money but last weekend i managed to find a replacement passenger seat and rear seat about a hour away on Facebook so £65 was handed over and I bought this home

I went to see a local trimmer with the seats Wednesday, last night I get a text saying they are ready to be collected.

What a difference! She swapped the side panel over, replaced the foam bolster, repaired the side vinyl and even cleaned the seat and charged £110.
 I can't say fairer than that!

I've been helping a mate prep this hunk-a-love for auction.

What a magnificent beast, 1974 Opel Commodore 2.8 GS that was registered new in Bury St Edmunds and spent all its life in the area, straight six with two twin choke carbs and a stainless exhaust it sounds amazing and goes like the clappers!

We've been through it fixing a few small faults and mostly cleaning and polishing it and it now looks stunning. I've got the option of buying it but it's a bit big and juicy for me realistically.




His Horizon is probably of interest also, that's going to auction too so I gave it a quick wash and hoover, it's a 1500 automatic with power steering and only 33000 miles, it's not my bag if I'm honest but it's a nice enough old thing.

Turns out @trigger was spot on. 
The lad who raced it ended up welding a replacement rear quarter on.  I know opinions on racing are chalk and cheese, but bloody hell, what a huge effort just to wreck it again. I'm guessing the decent rear quarter and rear panel came from the UK car. 😑
