Hi Peeps…It gives me great pleasure to inform you that I'm now a proud owner of a 1988 Gunmetal Grey 350i..I purchased it from a friend so it was a bargain, I think all it might need is a FPR and the rest is good to go..I can just see her now..By the way her name is poppy..Gold wheels..Red powder coated rockers..Polished and detailed plenum…S102 sprintex...laugh..Not really..Thats getting sold..Along with the FHC if anyone is interested…Oh and i will probably change the interior later, The seats need a re-trim which is a bit of a blessing as strange as it sounds as i want to lift the seat a small amount as i have become use to seeing over the bonnet..I will keep Delilah while i prepare poppy and have not decided yet if i want to sell her…In fact i can't even think about that right now…Its all good in the hood…Cheers…Ziga

Its on PH at the minute but its sold to yours truly, And for less than advertised..Cheers Greg…beer

Cheers chaps..Delilah will stay, Especially as she has been really reliable lately and TBH seeing as i got such a bargain the sale of the blower will pay for a good proportion of the expenditure on my first V8…Just need to make a dice now from alloy with Delilah on 3 sides…Poppy on two and shanks pony on one..After all i do need the exercise...hehe

Hi Steve..Unfortunately i dont have anywhere to park it yet so it is being kept with a friend under cover on his drive until i can clear a space in my garage…Which means getting rid of the FHC…Shame but nothing is moving forward with that so it needs to be moved on..I will use the V8 a few times and then its going into the garage so that i can remove the seats for trimming and then re-fit slightly higher…I will use my trusty steed Delilah to run about in and then decide what mood takes me..Is it a V8 day or a V6 one...scratchchin

Mark, Congratulations, but you do realise Delilah is going to sulk and act all stroppy over Poppy...


Get the V8 used, driving

Well done Mark

Looks like you've dropped on a bargain. Drop me an email with the details of the FHC, I've got one that's causing me enough trouble but a mate of mine might be interested?

Hi Steve..Delilah will behave herself from now on as she has cost me a pretty packet..What with a few new hearts, A set of new gold shoes..A boob job which in turn should of given me a blow job..And lashings of shiny bits of jewellery…If she gets a strop on then she is out the garage door!..Just awaiting the phone call from the insurers..Cant have poppy on my existing policy so its got to be separate albeit with a discount..I hope they don't take the biscuit….Cheers…Ziga
