Hmmm. I guess I'm don't know the history - is it tradition for you to post a renault on page 1 of each volume?

It's an horrendous colour even before splashing it all over a 996 with black wheels.

That car is crying out to be uneconomical to repair.

I couldn't disagree more. The only thing letting it down are the front driveshafts imho.

"A Renault"? That, my friend, is a Safrane BiTurbo.

No self-respecting thread should be without one.

Where did you find that, Loon?

Gorgeous! Assume it's a Photoshop/ update of a 918 to make it more like a 917?

I saw a Laguna the other day. I can't say they're missed.

Exchange rate volatility aside, a Saffa BiT must be into bargain barge territory?!

ETA. It seems they're quite well regarded. And capable of miles, too.

Here you go, Flangey.

Love the lines on that Porsche enduro.
Had a blast around Blyton Park a couple of weeks back.



and had the seats recovered:

That looks brilliant Joe!

So good to see it being used as it should be too

A few LM Classic pictures that may be of interest to Threadists:

Great LM pics, Autobianchi is super

Excellent stuff chaps. I actually quite like that 996. Prefer it sans aerokit but that is by the by in the scheme of things.

Oooh a new volume.

Trying shamelessly to bag "first purchase of vol 18", may I present the new Gruber family wagon:



A 530dx with lots of nice brown cow:



Strictly speaking, it's just "deposit placed" right now. Hoping for a bounce in the value of the pound before we have to pay the balance...

[ferrisbueller]

I do believe you're the most prolific purchaser on the thread.

Hello darling, is that you? I thought you were at a work dinner this evening. Don't worry... the other boys buy at least as many cars as I do. See you later. xxx

Everyone has an affliction.

Damnit, where was that B6 at the Classic? Would have loved a closer look

Few of my favourites from the weekend:

'Twas an excellent weekend wasn't it?!

The B6 was in the BMW Club de France parking area - it looked very good and by no means a garage queen.

[Leins]

I loved everything about the weekend except the sunburn

I now desperately want a 964 though!
