have i ever stated it was a genuine xr3 :roll: if you want to play clever bollocks .... no of course its the wrong color and xr3 were never made in rosso red :roll: , and of course once the engine is in, the sides de chromed,rest of kit put on (which i have not wanted to rush in to screwing in to brand new paint) it wont be same year and more or less the same bar a non inj engine , which i didnt want as i want some big twin webbers on it somewhen ...

I was out last night having a drink and some fun thanks.

Its not the first time you have called your 1.3 Laser an XR3 but then you personify the typical 318iS owner with your deluded ramblings.

Its not an XR3 on so many levels.

P.S, was it raced in America and does it have twefty thousand bhp?

In fairness I had to pull Imy up when he was telling anyone who would listen about his M3 cabby. To state that you own a XR3 means it has to be a XR3! Otherwise you own a MK3 escort :wink:

e36 328i touring daily abused to the max
C2 2.7 touring does daily sometimes,nurburgring, holidays, weekends, santa pod back road blasts, Eveything you name it, it can do it.

325i 2dr on the road but needing some minor mechanical "tweeks" :o

The others don't work yet.

I think the C2 is wanting to nudge back into the daily though and bin the 328 and lose the cost of running 1 car. too much ££££

What about Pacerpete's genuine original M1? Well, it's actually an E24 tail light lens but hey, how many old cars are original?


I had a silver XR3 once. It was shit, so I sold it and bought an RS1600i. I'd forgotten all about the 1.3 Loser.

Oh hang on a min, I forgot something.
