The Cars of Kent and Essex....

[kiethton]

I know we have the spotted thread but I thought it would be a good idea to know what we are actually looking out for.

Me, for the time being anyway:










Feel free to give me a wave around the Orpington/Petts Wood area!!!

nice 924

thanks

it is soon to be taken off the road for a little bit of work, but it's stablemate is being collected on Sunday, will add pictures on arrival

[kiethton]

Picked up the new beast to run alongside the 924s last night (whilst I repair/refurbish or strip it for track use)

My girlfriends first comments were 'I can't see you in it' and 'its a bit chav' I don't care though!

For £3.2k on a late 2004 reg with full honda history and factory leather interior amongst some other upgrades I'm chuffed. It currently has no smiley but does have type r members club stickers on the rear windows:



I'll be around the Petts Wood/Lee/Chislehurst areas as normal

That's a lot of car for a bit over £3k!

Thanks, bit of a bargain really. All works following my trip back from Berks last night, just the slight issue of speed humps to worry about.

Only thing that needs attention are the front tyres which are at about 3mm and I need to get used to the gearbox following the old porsche and DCT 335i previously which are compeltely differant.

Noticed this one up for sale when I was looking, seems like a good deal. Liking the seats?

Yes, very much so. Didn't have any issues on the drive back, very comfy and plenty of in gear poke for the motorway - It's off on holiday, driving to croatia, in a few months so should be a bit of fun, especially on the island roads!

[kiethton]

Just got around to putting the stickers on mine to make me more identifiable:

Civic:







Porsche:

[kiethton]

Well my EP3 has now moved on (but should still be spotted around Bromley with the new owner...)

i have however replaced it this morning with this:



better pic's to be put up later but give me a wave if you see me - PH sticker on order

[kiethton]

You didn't have the Civic long did you?

Very nice replacement though, love 540i's

Hahaha not really, but do try and change regularly! The combination of itchy feet, something shiney and the prospect of client meetings if I ever get a new job necessitate it. Understated, banker image on the cheap lol

There's mine hopefully the upload worked!

For the past week I've been on the train and off the bike owing to an ear infection, as it's just about the only time I walk there not awfully hungover and as I'm now sort of awake I think I've been walking past it daily (stoc stickers?)

The other car on the drive - wasn't the plate previously on a driving instructor car with the same name as what it just about spells?

Yup that's me although the stoc stickers are now gone (as of today) unfortunately a lot of the ST's are a target for thieves at the mo, though I'd try and take some attention away from it and beef up the security too lol.

Yes my dads car, he no longer instructs but we kept the car and plate as a run-a-round for everyone lol.

Don't blame you, I'm just the other side of the common. Had my dad's BMW 318d stolen from the drive a few years back, police reckoned they were after the 335i i had at the time (same colour etc.), did see a mountune sticker though, good looking car but there every morning/afternoon and never seems to move

Finally got one from the front - still not cleaned it though!

As before normally around the Orpington/Lee/Bromley areas - Still no sticker!

[kiethton]

Think I've seen you around (I'm Orpington but am in Bromley regularly), should be easy to spot with the ironing board on the back

[kiethton]

Haha that is brilliant!

Did I see it on the LeMans thread too?

[kiethton]

New toy has joined the 540i



Just got to wait for my re-arranged Mod1 & 2 tests (19th!, bloody Monday's Erith Ice!) and I'll be out and about on it monday-friday

You'll also likely spot the GF's blue PH stickered Scirocco out and about in the Beckenham area

[kiethton]

Unfortunately the 5 series is now up for sale ( http://m.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C889732 ) collect the replacement next Saturday...can't wait and a bit of a change!

[kiethton]

The change at the Kiethton residence continues, the GF's Scirocco is now sold, replaced by a M135i, complete with PH smiley

[kiethton]

Currently rocking around Beckenham/Bromley in this:



Mazda MX5 with a SC from a Bini Cooper S bolted on, cage, LSD and buckets.

Whines like a bh, drops its top at every opportunity and regularly farts (pops but also full on backfires) on the over-run, definitely a fuelling problem there somewhere....
