shite cars Retroshite

Also had a look at this tonight, The exhaust had fallen off and the battery was dead so after jump starting it and clamping the exhaust back on I was amazed to see the under bonnet light actually works.

Been using this over the last few days, it's amazingly tail happy in the wet.

lovely thing

 

apart from bbs - pathological hate of them (not your fault)

 

want.

[Noel Tidybeard]

i wonder if having chrome bumper tops is what makes the arches agreeable?

[cort16]

I'm amazed it's still got the metric wheels on it. You needs to catapult those chrome arches though.

I had a 525e in this colour a few years ago it really suits them.

[spartacus]

If you think the Ranger is tail happy wait until you drive the e28...

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

What a handsome,handsome car.

 

From a period when bmw's looked like something satan would drive as opposed to baked potatoes with a twin grill and a hoffmeister kink slapped on and an ipad moulded into the dash.

 

Well bought

[billyboy406v6]

That a beautiful car for that money, like the chrome arches and bbs wheels. top buying.......

​​I'm nursing major horn for this car. Looks fantastic and given your track record no doubt it'll be twice the car in no time.

 

Will this one venture up the strip?

Will this one stay long enough to venture up the strip

[nisfan]

Yes he may have a fair turnover of cars but since its also Mrs FOADS i know it wont be going anywhere. I havent even bothered asking for dibs on it and i REALLY want one.

[cort16]

They're not quick these but they're lovely and smooth and once up speed they bomb along at surprising speeds.

When I got my first one having moved from old Fords I literally couldn't believe a car could be so refined and feel so well screwed together.

Yeah, yeah whatever. Since this is the Mrs car it's highly unlikely to be sold anytime soon, she has had her 360 for 2 years and there's still no chance of that going anywhere.

My last E28 had a few important parts missing that I was unaware of until it was dropped off and would have taken more time/money/enthusiasm than I could muster at the time for me to see it as a keeper.

Did you sell it or is it off to the Morris Leslie auctions?

It's off to the auctions, nobody will buy it and it'll be back here for December probably.

You never know, there is always different stuff there. Last auction they had there was a smart wee Yugo.

This auction there will still be an unsold Yugo..

Bye bye Samaratat, it's been emotional.

 

What became of its buyer from the deep south?

The Samara may still be going nowhere, nobody seems to know where the v5 is so it can't go to auction without it. Logistical issues put and end to the sale down south. Too shite to transport and not worthy enough to travel the length of the country for.

I though it had sold, saw it on a transporter near Edinburgh a few weeks back, maybe it was just being brought back. 

[Magnificent Rustbucket]

That looks very nice  - I particularly like the colour.

Running sweet!

New blue temp sensor and it's running well. I managed to get to the end of the road and back without it bogging down and dying. Now I need to get rid of these metric jobbies and get some E34 BBS or something...

Took it for another run to check it and it's still going well.

The boot on the Lada had started to rust so I put the old one back on so I could paint the new one.
