For what you get that’s cheap! If he’ll include the weather to drive it I think we have a deal.

[Crook]

That does look great, wonder if the midget engine will take a supercharger?

That is absolutely stunning

[L100NYY]

Interestingly it is producing the same hp as an original 37. Not sure an s/c would fit that Mg 1500 but if so then it would (sort of) turn it into a 37A rep. Tres bon

[Crook]

You'd need the whine, even though it's pretty correct for a 37 re output etc. and I bet it flies along, you'd need the whine.

A 37 wouldn’t have whined, a 37A would have.

But yes, an s/c whine is a fantastic noise.

I’d love a few days in something from Ivan, truly epic motoring.

In other news some new additions for the GT3…



New boots and panties.

[L100NYY]

I had a day with this rep a few years ago, properly quick and no grip equalled lots of fun -



In Australia obviously

New one on me;

Pre GT3 996?

Did they employ J. K. Rowling to write that advert? Biggest load of b*llocks i've read in a long time, and I used to sell cars for a living!

Funniest of all is I had a car that exact specification for a couple of months when the 996 deliveries, however the bit I never knew was the car was a 'factory race car' - felt just like a 911 road car to me.

It must have some grip to be holding on like that....

Apro po of nothing other than Bugatti related, this is my Great Great Aunts partner competing in his 35….





He also had a few others including
Low Chassis Invicta (pic below)
MG K3
Maserati 8CM
And his road car was the special bodied Rolls pictured below

You can tell Loons going to Goodwood this week can’t you?

Some very nice E34 content there folks

Re E36s, if I ever did buy one again I think it would have to be a Touring, ideally either a 328i Sport in Techno or a B3/B8 in Alpina Green. Have to admit while I’m not necessarily regretting the B5 RS4 I sold last year, I do miss having a quick estate or saloon in my life for the first time in a decade or so

This was my 328i I sold late last year.

Lovely - looks similar to one me old man had in the 90s, a 1996 328i Touring in Boston Green with caramel leather. Him and me mum both thought it was the best of 17+ BMWs they had.

He liked it that much he borrowed an M3 Evo and couldn't see the improvement over his 328i unless he was absolutely hammering it. Admittedly I did go out in it when he was hammering the Evo and it was mighty impressive, but the 328i was nicer day to day.

They got up over £120k. They were around £40k in 2014 when I looked, but bought something else, as you know.

The spec is exciting stuff, but I don't possess the driving talent necessary to drive one with any serious intent without bending it (a common trait I reckon - I wonder how many are pranged?), some scenery and most probably myself.

Your other choice was lovely too!

Indeed… of all 911’s, I reckon a 996 GT2 is probably the 911 most likely to kill its driver.

993 GT2 was the one which got the proper widowmaker moniker I thought

[Blown2CV]

the difference in values between 993 GT2 and 996 GT2 is hilarious.

[L100NYY]

993 GT is much more special though
