Seriously..?! Why would you want to make us appear the same as the saddo Marina owners? It's only a shitty old baur, I will enjoy watching it being destroyed..

Strange, all looks good, but as they didn't make any M3s with facelift lights, it's possible it's a copy...?

I rather fancy the idea of an M3 Baur in some ways... It would be different...

I prefer special... Better get back to the home before meds time, or they'll notice I'm missing... lol
I do quite like Baurs, though I'd like to take the window surrounds away and just have the roll bar, and put cabby frameless side windows in.

two cabs and the said baur were used at the top gear live show at earls court over the weekend. the hamster drove in a silver cab and jezzer drove a green one. captin slow was driving the baur. once parked they had "morrisons are crap" wrote on the side. just another dig at hamster for his adverts. the show was awsome and to see the things they get up to proves they have one of the best jobs ever. all three cars were then auctioned off on sunday night to the audience.(i went on saturday :x ) i dont know how much they made though. wish i was there, i would of bought the cabs winkeye
