In my absolute favourite BMW colour. If I had £12k I'd take the day off work (cough, cough, I'm not feeling well) and go buy that tomorrow.

Didn't you have one before and take it to bits/fail to restore it, or was that another member?

Yep. Lost my job shortly after picking up the project. That one is now in Norway, fully restored. smile

The current Kawasaki ZX-6R. Oh how I'd love to to rev one of these out to it's 15,000rpm redline, and see what ultra-nimble modern chassis design and pointy geometry can do for the cornering compared to my 1998 GSX-R600 SRAD.

Considering I have a blue manual already, this is a strange one:

She's going to cost more to restore than she's worth but that's all part of the fun. smile

There is only one Alfa 33 Giardinetta left in the UK making her one of the rarest cars out there. Rarer than my Panda Fantasia. There are three of those. wink

Having experienced both already, I think it is all the better for it. The manual box in my Aero is its Achilles heel and on-line research suggests its a common problem. I also think an Auto suits its character more smile

If that one drops to around £1k I will be making the long Journey, with the rear windows darkened, that would be perfect for me cloud9.

Techno Violet and Champagne is the second best colour combination for an E46 M3. After Oxford/Boston Green and champagne.



^ That for me today, please. As seen above, with ambers and everything.

If that was fitted with the factory 18" wheels i think it would be close to perfect. Great colour thumbup
