So what car have you been obsessing about today?? (Vol 2)

[Mr.Jimbo]

Today, and most of the last two weeks, I've been obsessing about the E46 M3 I'm collecting on Saturday



Will really miss my RB5 though

[va1o]

Not so much a particular car but BMWs in general I guess. A work colleague was showing me the mobile App earlier today that allows you to perform certain functions remotely, very cool!

A huffin' great Volvo isn't my sort of thing. I have never needed a big car and all I'll do is strip it out, fit a cage and annoy people on track. Also the T5R 2.3 is an arse to tune so I bought something that is a little more me...

A 1.7TD has come up cheap and I'm wondering if a set of 1.9 injectors, bigger turbo and intercooler would make the Diesel as quick as the GTII?



If I can get it cheap enough I feel an experiment could be in order.

One of these little beasties after seeing one in Morrison car park but there is no way I could afford even the base model at £380000

How much!?

I love that. It look fantastic on those XJR wheels too, and would look better if they were silver.

practicality dictates I keep a sensible silver hatchback instead of the air cooled B road bahn stormer.

I will miss it, but it's better to have loved and lost and all that, and I think the Esprit fulfills a wish I've had since I was 7.

Thread divert.

What's going on with the yellow 911 in the back ?

Is it a dragster ?

Not mine - someone else's project I guess..

Back on topic...

I can't help lusting after this too.

I know the last thing I need is another project but I have always wanted to make a P100 into a Ute.



Half the work is done already. Just need to put the 1.6 Pinto in the nearest skip (where Ford should have put it) and fit a V8.

This S3.

Fed up of boring depressing diesel. Want another S3, preferably in this spec but with S Tronic. Will be going to look at a few this weekend.

There's one with same spec near my too! I wouldn't mind a manual if the price dips below 30k but I just cannot justify spending 30k+ on a hot hatch now ...

No bidders,didn't sell.

£350 not a bad price for this assuming it's not rotten.

This one's in Sarf Ind...

...Sierra shaped and looks like an XR4i nose. The later ones look a bit pap to me but it could be more fun as a homage to a South Africa spec' XR8

I'd always said I didnt want to upgrade from my D2 to a D3 because of the frightening complexity of the newer vehicle.

However, the D2 is now borked just as expensively, and I'm beginning to think about a G4 spec D3...

If you are a G4 purist then you'll hate me...but that would look pretty good in a dark grey wrap.

I really like them and the D3s are starting to come down in price nicely now.

Expect bigger bills than you'd get with a D2 though! Compressors seem to let go and the cambelt is a big job to change.
