if the seller is part of this community, he/she should be ashamed of themselves

He's been trying to sell this for a year or more, he's now resorted to describing it as Gold as opposed to the correct Orange. :eek:
It's a matter of personal taste but I'd be embaressed to even drive it home let alone park it on the drive !

Seen that on there a number of times, sounds like a decent reputable owner too... "lost my job and licence" hmm

Poor old turd, feel sorry for it... almost makes me want to rescue it, take it under my wing and restore her to her former glory...

The stiffness make the box of the fletch larger thus stiffer at a point where the inner wing is not very large/stiff. Haven't really looked at them too hard but they do seem to do a bit.
There has been a little bit of discussion on here of the benefits and if they would help a saloon with strut braces.

£1000 to buy it and twice as much to fix it.

If this car were a dog, it would have been put down by now. :(

The seller would have been better off if he'd started the advert with:

"Unique E30 for sale, styling by Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles. Absolutely no expense incurred in the upkeep of this vehicle."

:cool:
