Just a £50 easyjet away. Worst case you could walk away and spend an evening on the Costa before flying home (or be robbed by some local gangsters).

It's not a proper one. Hence its cheapness.

Can't see the Targa. Bad link.

Very short beard here. Are we talking some body panels or one of the Italian ones?
Targa link fixed.

Yank spec. Ergo, detuned lump and no dog-leg box.

Detuned to the grand sum of 3hp, they also had shorter final drive, (4.10:1) to compensate for the standard 325i getrag 260 gearboxes.

Still, if is not a rotter and has fit mechanicals at £6.3k it's a cheap car.

Where did Derestrictor go? I used to enjoy his prose a lot.

Also Loony, where has he been for last few days? Is his health alright after he said he had chest problems?

Yes, where is old Cholmondeley-Tapper??

An Ayrton says shoulder deep in clunge...

Glad someone is...

she found the 2 extra sets of keys then.

There's a lot to like there. For me, the wheels are wrong, but nothing a bit of ebaying and refurbing probably couldn't sort. As you say, the interior would be more of an issue. Still a lot of motor for the asking...

P.S. Red wine is good.

Mine wasn't, last night.

Crozes Hermitage is usually one of my favourites, but yesterday's was particularly disappointing.

That looks like a lot of money for the miles compared the this example. Ok it's not an Individual, but I'd take the 90k fewer miles.

That's lovely. Good wheelage too!

Christ, that thing has probably chugged close to £40k of petrol in 6 years!

I conceed, that is a far better proposition. It could only be bettered by being a 760i. Although the 750i is probably a more sensible selection.

Nope, haven't crossed that particular bridge yet.

Luckily (or not) I've got to the stage where she doesnt care anymore. I get the textbook

"I dont care. do what you want, you'll do it anyway!" Then I have to deal with only 1 evening's strop.

She doesnt pay any attention to the various 'look what I found' convosations I start anymore

Mrs G is remarkably relaxed about the car thing. Maybe it's because we're still in the "honeymoon period". But since we got married in Feb I've had 6 cars and, so long as I don't take a complete bath on any of them, she doesn't seem to care.

I wonder how long it'll last...

...until you're like Olly and taking a bath in them.

I get the sense that if I did the proposing and letting her arrange a wedding thing I could get away with anything car related that didn't bankrupt me.

Not sure its the most compelling reason for marriage ever but it is at least one...

Well, I could do with the space...

Link to the E28? this one was less than a night out with GP - so makes no odds really.

He might not have a link... What he might have is a piece of A4 blu-tacked in the window. <old school>

But it was black, manual, red leather, no body kit. Looked a nice old thing, but it was more than a night out, especially "round here". I can find out more if you are interested.

What i am saying is, if it is a good un, I will weigh the blue one in.

Olly, just checking you got my email (sent through your profile) with the contact details on for the 535i?

[V8mate]

Can you share more details on here if Olly takes a rain-check?

Yup. It was all going so well until the hog.

I remember when I said I was catching a train to pick the CSL up. I hadn't got full permission to purchase, infact, I had none. But I got away with that one.

Tbh I think thats the only reason I get a cold shoulder. The only car ive made money on ever was my Alfa GTV. I've had 5 since then

+ Olly, i guess you will have some E36 bits for sale? Are the wheels/tyres any good?

Could do with some bits to tidy up mine
