Its been a good day people, a very good day - one iv been waiting for since last september

My M3 is finally out of storage and is back at home where it belongs

It arrived on a trailer because it has no MOT or tax any more, but it just feels sooo good to have it back so i can start sorting it out ready for the summer

A couple of quick pics i took before i tucked it away in the garage

I want your wheels.

Looks good... why was it in storage?

It was in storage because i was at uni in stafford (200 mile drive every weekend), which would have ment parking it on a dodgy northern street through the winter and only using it to drive home or transport a group of piss heads about at 3am

I have a mate who has a large car lockup in sussex, so he had it down there and also did a bit of work on the engine for me

fair enough, sounds sensible... p*ssheads and m3's are two things I would imagine dont mix very well.

I love your car.

Getting my 18" Rondells tomorrow - best wheel design ever!

You have my dream M3 - Macau Blue rocks.

Munky

Looking good Ben.

My dads should be over in the UK soon.

A trip to the ring is in order

Cheers guys,

Munky - sensible yes, but its been such a pain in the arse not to be able to drive it for almost a year

Max - A ring trip is definately in order mate, i was thinking some time in June?

Yeah sounds good

Only on a car forum can 'ring trips' be mentioned with such reckless abandon without fear of reprisals.

If pacer or Andyboy read that it would be a different story

Only 8.5's all round

10s would look awesome on yours!

Yea, when i ordered them the guy offered me the 10" rears for something stupid like £20 more. I said no becuase off the top of my head i thought they wouldnt fit but now im pretty sure they would, like this

Wasnt the whole point behind those boxy arches to get 10s under there.

Wouldnt let it worry you - your car looks awesome

The Group A cars run 10" wide rears but they dont have inner arches and they still rub like shit!

I may change the rims at some point anyway so im not too worried

Your car looks great with the new rims BTW, will look even better once its dropped a bit

Cheers

Awesome news Ben. Looks like you will have to stay sober for more than 3hrs so you get to drive it!

Bah, thats no fun
