Strong money, but ticks all the boxes.

I think that's been up for a while. It's pretty much E91 money, which might explain why. It's nice, but the newer car is significantly better IMO.

I'm not in the market for a 150k miles diesel, but don't you think the design of these has aged really well?

If only it was a Cherry Red Rallye...

How about a nice Spanish 328 coop?

That;s very lovely, but BMW Hellrot is such a disappointing red.

I was looking at/for 306 Rallyes today......they all seem to have disappeared.

This is page 42 for me. I must have different settings...

Yeah Loon, all gone it seems (written-off, chav'd up).

gti-6 won't do? There's still a few of them up for grabs at present

A very desirable thing

Merc C43 sold, for full asking price. Feels a bit weird when someone turns up to the see the car and within the hour, it's gone!

That is sublimely geeky.

If you spot V624GRV I want her back

Just glorious.






Popped out to pick up our MGB from a quaint little garage in The Cotswolds.






Did not expect to see a De Tomaso Mangusta brooding/lurking out the back!

Lovely pic.

Met an oncoming Midget on the way home last night. Back wheel on the white line in a lovely little arcing drift, about 5 degrees of opposite lock wound on.

Weirdly, it only seemed to be travelling at around 30mph.

Not that weird from what I remember of mine.

My midget (with nasty black bumpers on it) was my RWD training ground, and i remember it all happening pretty slowly.

ETA: actually if anybody has access can they see if TDJ261S is still around?

IMO it's one of the major things that kids miss these days when learning to drive. Knowing what a car is doing seems to be a lost art with all the computers in them these days.

oh - and on another completely separate note, it is wrong or too optimistic to be feeling just a little bit upbeat and hopeful about TVR...

[Minemapper]

That's the best thing about OBSC's (Old British Sports Cars). You can experience the very limits of car control, and never break a speed limit. One of the reasons I'm keeping my '72 MGB around as long as possible. All 3 kids will learn to drive that first, before setting foot in a modern car.
