Thought i'd make this the thread on my "new" car. :D

It's cosmetically scruffy at the moment if i'm honest, but is solid where it matters, so after a bit of work and TLC it should be ok.

I only have plans to tidy it up at the moment, so will update on what I do, and when it get's done.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

I saw a black E30 on the A14 facing Northampton about 5.15pm near junction 19 M1

Also, saw a Calypso red E30 broken down on M1 northbound a few mins later
:(

Number plate ended "JEL" the RAC were there to help so hopefully you were ok whoever you were?

Ironic after you lowered your old car finally , that you now have to do it again to this one.

Looks tidy too.

I found whilst looking for a car, that there is a very short supply of original unmolested 4 pot turd's.... so this is staying nice and original, just going to get tidied up.
