Z4 coupé are rare. About 10-20 for sale in the whole country at one time. Also I don't really want to sell the BGT for less than £5k. I look to see what you get classic car wise for that money and it's not a lot. Mostly projects and some tatty, fairly mundane porridge. Already at 5.5k public price i...

Went for an evening drive. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_05/PXL_20240503_203635249.jpg.fca1c0f65b677d28e8e6f1ff2a3f7df9.jpg Good fun.  Brakes were hot but not baking. Handbrake shoe bit was toasty. Probably needs a bit more adjustment and/or bedding in.  Rear disc https://autoshite.com/...

It's why you get so much car for the money and why they're so cheap. Stuff wears and you have to DIY otherwise the bills would become ridiculous. Plenty of people don't/won't fix their own car and send it to the garage (or even worse, main dealer) on every little problem, would find the bills crippl...

Nothing really exciting to report on this. Just normal using and driving.  Mrs SiC contacted me earlier to say that an "exclamation mark in a goldfish bowl" warning light has lit up. https://autoshite.com/uploads/monthly_2024_05/IMG-20240501-WA0001.jpg.47858b19d96f62401f50e4037a0af4a9.jpg ...

Another prewar. I kinda like this a lot. This dealer always seems dodgy to me with the way he writes his adverts. We also know he buys them super cheap and often puts them on for 3x to 4x what he pays. https://scontent-lhr6-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t45.5328-4/438267924_1478702939384333_3576289801025287342_n...

This has been for sale for a while. Kinda tempting. Probably a big body work project though. https://scontent-lhr6-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/436481194_7374127266007857_7177713052877516952_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s960x960&_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=dmEaRSkOzQcAb6shSGT&...

Pre war definitely dropping and getting harder to sell. Up for a month and dropped a grand. https://scontent-lhr6-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t45.5328-4/432048572_334082349657550_5075268878861745352_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=247b10&_nc_ohc=CrWNdBdpjDwQ7kNvgFYx24K&_nc_ht=scontent-lhr6-2....

Yeah it does but I think the reg is XAF565 which comes up on the DVLA website. Last V5 in 2004.

Not far from me so easily enough seen in person to check properly before committing. However I think it's probably a good £400-600 too expensive for a project Peanut in this current market. Can't do anything until I get my B sold though either.

I really need to get my BGT sold. (And other projects finished)
