Said a sad goodbye to the 325 this afternoon as she was collected by her new owner.

Had a great summer thrashing around in her last year.

Took a couple of pics of her before she went off

After jumping her off and getting her out the garage she then cut out on the road, battery is knackered & won't hold charge, so she got a helping hand from the beast from the east

Except for the non existant rear arches.

I hope the new owner is prepared for a large bill to have those repaired.

Ummmm hasn't Daz bought it?

If so I think it will get fragged to pay for the exact same surgey to happen on his Tech 1, which would be a really nice car except for the non existent arches. I think Daz will put bettys cam and head in his sport too so betty will live on ... and will actually be black this time!!!

Wots that nasty piece of anonymous japanese stuff thats broken down behind it????

:lol: The old classic debate resurfaces. The //M badge refers to the M-tech parts not that its an M3, they have the //M3 badge.

Sorry to here about the motor dude but nothing lasts forever and besides I dont think its the end of the world going from a rusty old e30 to a very nice soarer or "Beast from the east" as you say, I know what I'd rather have and it aint the beemer !

:cool:
i have indeed bought her

at the moment her future is undecided
gonna cruise her round till test runs out in may then will make a decision

must admit i am tempted to nick the cam etc for the sport and poss the kit for the IS
but nothing is decided yet
arches are bad but not as bad as my tech 1 so who knows
maybe i,ll save it and sell it back to lee winkeye

will update when shell has been properly investigated

ps please see thread
steering problems and assist betty

cheers
