A work mate asked me to go and look at a car with him today.A 60 mile round journey.He told me bits and pieces about the car,it was a project that he's mate had given up on.The car in question is a 320 tourer G reg,good things and bad things going for it.I then told him all that needed to be done and how much it would cost him.He then lost interest neither having the time or the funds to do it.By then I was asked if I was interested in it.Not trying to bite the blokes arm off I said yes.The car started up the engine sounded really sweet,it has 2 new wings on the front,original M-Tec body kit,the complete car has been prep for respraying,interior is mint no rips,EW front and rear and a 13 button OBC all in all very pleased with it.How much are you all asking??? Ԛ£150, I cannot believe it either.Picking it up next week will post pics then.
:banana:
And my luck contintued,Put the battery on the B6 to take it to have it steamed cleaned before I strip all the bits off for the new paint job.Driving down to the town,Pulled up at a crossing,women crossed over,the guy on the opposite side edged forward,and without looking at the lights I pulled off thinking that they had changed.Looked in my rear view mirror and yes there was a police car was signalling me to pull over. :cry:
The female officer who was driving got out and came over to what she thought was the drivers side and tapped on the window.The wife just looked at her and would not open the window.So she stormed round to my side and by that time I had opened my window.But the other officer who was with her was already there.He was 6ft 6 built like a brick s--thouse.I knew then that I was going to get done for jumping the lights.If it had been just 1 of them they cannot prove anything.She started shouting her mouth off at me,but all I did was to stay calm and say that I was sorry.And that I could not quite see the lights as I was on the left hand side.If it had been the wife she would have lost it and got booked.The male officer said something to the PW and she went back to the petrol car.He lent over and said lovely car mate I drive a M3,and I wouldn';t have booked you anyway.But just be careful.Have a nice day. :wink:Sadly all good things come to an end I didn't win the lotto.

Fancy selling the M-Tech kit to me for 150 sheets?! That's a free car for you!

If you don't ask you don't get.......even when you do ask, you quite often don't get.....I suspect that may be the case here?!
