Yours for £6,500. It's got boot knickers.

OK as long as I can sand the paint off and have a roof rack full of pineapples then sell it for 10k

Today the 320i ran faultlessly for many many miles.

 

then it FTP'd when I was going to Scotoshite. Had to take the Vectra instead.

 

its now swapped out with the 335..a bit more rapid.

 

I need to actually cobble together a working car as having a Vectra as the reliable fleet member is runbish

I got mine from Roys of Wroxham - probably not a lot of help for you, soz...

 

They do them on ebay though for not much more money.

 

I bought mine from the Southend branch of The Range. I imagine that every other store in the chain has them in stock.

Compass arrived today.....

It has its problems (Windows, for example) but will be priced accordingly. I would think £150 should do it, more details later when I've driven it.

Finally moving again. This train is grim though - if Autoshite did trains they'd definitely be Arriva trains

 

Proper ShiteRail would be BR vintage 1985 shirley? You can have anything you like as long as it's late and comprises Mk2 slam door coaches with splodges of primer, a Class 37 with duff ETH and a buffet car with a full stock of desiccated sandwiches and stale kitkats.

Community bus duty today has largely left me stranded in sunny Aberystwyth. Which was nice. Not as nice as this shambolic Seat Toledo though! Wow.

Any photos of the 306 in front of it too?

Nope. Sorry. It does look like a scene from the 1990s doesn't it? That's Aber for you.

Nice weather this afternoon in the westcountry. Had a meeting in Perranporth on the north Cornish coast. Most normal people would have taken a Merc convertible what with the weather and that whole first impressions counting thing; but because autoshite I decided the 740 was the car for me....

I bought this early last month:

Not had a BMW before apart from a pre-scene tax 2002tii in 2005. It's a 320td 150bhp Compact.

 

I'm currently in the process of changing the Death Grey interior with black one. The dashboard takes 30 minutes to take out woohoo.

Does anyone know if a coupe rear end interior (bench, carpet, etc) fits a Compact?

^^ would this be the 'widows weave grey' exhaust/Injunn smoke signals one?... precipitating the disposal of Toyyo4KashToniteM8.. ??

 

Looks Kool

Engine out!!

 

DO NOT LIKE.

 

Poor LS400. :(

 

 

At least tell us the engine is going towards something really really silly.

^^^ Top work guys, those lexi v8s are wonderful ( and great value) pieces of engineering. All alloy and light for what they are I assume?

Bodged a radio into the Colt. Almost looks right for the age of the car

Will need to remove it and sort out the wiring for the right hand speaker at some point but it breaks the silence for now!

Yes the V8 is going in a Hilux.

If it makes it any easier, the LS was laid up for five years and pretty rotten in the floors.

Thanks for that. It has stemmed the tears. Slightly. I think my next purchase may have to be LS400 shaped.
