Been to see Phil today, they are rebuilding the engine of a 4.6 X5 2003 vintage that the chain guide gave way on. He said it can happen on all the V8's

er.. crap

Don't they make a god-awful noise before they go anyway?

yes, but it appears the owner did not notice, lots of bent valves.

What am I then?

The UK's biggest single source of warranty claims?

Imagine me working with Lotus?

The warranty claims would be a bigger drain on their finances than Dany Bahar.

So the BX from the Monaco auction makes the front page. Hope everyone here is still getting their retainers.

Olly, on one hand I'm worried about how much to infer that you've spent on the Porker and on the other hand interested in a very cheap DB7. Any chance of a mail on price LHD?

Still thinking about that 645, if only it was in a better hue. Other than that the E46 M3 up at the folk who had a C32 I wanted looks good - 6.5k but SMG.

Today's update slightly less Couch - afternoon transport a C180 and merely an extra leg room seat for the night flight.

Only interested in the DB cause I'm a nosey parker.

I mean, me, in a rag top? Really? Don't be silly!

Must have missed the rag top bit. No drop tops for moi unless the price is that good etc.

Have it delivered for Monday please.

Oh and I followed an S60R in the same combo as the one I'm doing man sums for , but it was on non descript 17" wheels and looked like a proper sleeper (probably the car that could have followed the saph cosworh).

Ignoring the added tat, even the basic bodyshell doesn't look right to me with the wide arches. Shame, the E30 Touring is such a fantastic looking car normally. I guess E36 M3 running gear under a standard E30 Touring bodyshell would be nice though... You have the ideal starting point, Zwolf

I'm thinking in grey with red leather and standard mirrors it'd look

As it is, I'm not so keen.
