Dont know if you can buy one in this country, but if you can, probably custom car magazine would be a good place to start looking. There are lots of companies who will put hyrdaulics into your car, rayvern was one if they are still going, butnot many us low riders about it would have thought. HTH

one or two pop up on eBay now and then. But if you want a proper American saloon then I think you'd have to import one.

Please buy one already converted. Don't wreck another classic.

That is what I am looking for...

I know low riders were made by Mexican midgets so they could lower the car so they can get in and then raise it so they look normal height...

Assuming your not bullstting, i wouldn't even entertain looking for one here. Do some homework and book a flight to the US.

He's the same guy who claims to own an R8 and Range Rover, yet needs to break into the boot of his 1997 318i to get something 'important'.

Not a very entertaining troll either.

I have just been released from the nick, done a bit of bird up north with all these northern monkeys, a bit of intent to supply, gbh, usual bull...anyway I left my car at an ex girl friends house, it has been sat in her drive for 6 years and basically I have tried to break in to the boot but I think I am just making it worse.

So this 70 grand, was it what was in the boot of the BMW? I'm surprised you're using it for a low rider and not investing it all in the property business you set up the moment you got out of jail (even though you're skint, by your own admission). Might even cover a few payments of the leased R8.

You fking cocktard, I hope the PH hounds stumble across this thread.

I'll bite, merely as I found this the other day when browsing. It really is quite amazing what you can find when you apply a little grey matter in the rather excellent Pistonheads Classifieds. Anyway, no need to fly to America, simply nip to Lincolnshire and get this for 10% of your hard blagged cash.

Tin of custard etc, etc. Happy to help.
