E30 Zone

Well the 325 e46 cab went in for it`s test today and failed on both drop links (no surprise there lol) and a lollipop bush.
£130 all in
I have used this guy for over twenty years now , along with my lads cars and her`s indoors as well and he has always been good.
"Solo autos " Morley.
If you live nearby and wish to use him, tell him I sent you. (Cash only)
One man band, Very honest guy, very honest work too.
He sorted the cab smoking and I love him for that alone lol.

glad the 46 now has a clean bill of health,

my sport goes in for it's first mot in over 8yr's soon as i get chance to get the exhaust back on & hanging right.

your mot guy sounds like a dying breed, stick with him as long as possible, i know one like that but Mansfield to south thoresby (up near mablethorpe) is a bit of a trek to go for an mot, but i have been told about a couple of garages in the sticks who will look after the old girl.

Ahhhh the days the Lotus stayed on the ground and passed its MOT's while we had a chat, sigh.......

This guy is sound
I saw the offending items and the failure sheet too so I know he`s good.

should, got wind of one over in codnor,

I have run her for a couple of days now and the difference is superb, 55 weeks MOT as well

Mart.

So I treat it to a cheeky little rear spoiler,I thought I would try it black first but I have some paint now so will give it a go when conditions allow.
It`s stuck on with 3M and is going nowhere !!!

£27 delivered no cutting as well

Mart.

I must resist I must resist......

Feck it you just de valued the car and made it even more less desirable

I was going to paint it today but it has started raining again

Mart.

Painted a few weeks ago and I think it looks the part
Too cold to go out right now for another pic but you get the idea.

Cheers mate
When you live with one you realise what a piece of kit they are regarding the engineering side of things, bloody nice with the top down coming home after finishing work

Mart.

Looks good Mart - I for one like the little painted spoiler / lip.
Hope to see you and Mrs Mart driving around town this summer catching the rays in that shiny motor.

Cheers, Trevor

ther's only two cabby's i'd go for, iain's H27 3.1 stroker or my mates e46 m3 cabby with an rngine the same sort of spec as the e46 m3 csl,

the lil lip spoiler on yours does look the part.

Nice one lads, lovely comments, and Trevor, I work in Ossett (behind Hartwell off Milner way) so who know`s what you might see !!
The Baur has been insured for another year and I need to put it through the test in the next two weeks and I can not wait to drive it again, last September was the last time but she started first time after three weeks tonight
Mrs Mart loves driving the Baur but also the 325
She loves taking the grand kids in both so win, win I bloody well hope

Mart.
