I've also just remembered that Hot Wheels once cast a 505 GTi. I shall have to acquire one.

FFS, the 323 is already whiteroomed, for eight large.

Got to give them credit for speed, if nothing else.

Thanks for reminding me of that fact and you are right, of course. In my defence, that depressing piece of oval fodder had escaped my memory the second I saw it.

Anyway.

For the trip back home, we decided to avoid that motorway nonsense, as anyone sane in mind would.
Consequently we parked up in some town on the way for a break.

Image


We walked past a few dead people.

Image


Then we ended up on a town square, where indigenous bumpkins from a rather restricted gene pool celebrated one of their rituals. Mind you, had I been on my own, I'd have fucking floored it to get the bloody hell outta there.

A butcher's had some plastic ham on display, presumably because you don't want to know the meat of which species they normally sell.

Image

Should you have any transport problems in that area, just call Durham 710322, because area codes have yet to be assigned there.

Image

Try to hike a ride back to -well- sort of civilisation. If you dare, that is.

Image


Why do the wrong people always have the right stuff?

Image


I don't know what your concept of motive heritage is, but I think this is fucking Disneyland:

Image


This is a lot more like what I think it looked like:

Image


Where I'm from, this sort of tat wasn't needed.

Image

There was and is electricity readily available for showmen to just plug in.


I'm not denying that an area void of even such basic infrastructure didn't come up with a solution that is nice to look at.

Image

Image

Image

I just don't want to get into a discussion about acceptable working conditions.


Now, if you want the bikini babes run after you, you'll need this conveyance in a different location from where its existence is wasted currently.

Image


However, even in the middle of the intellectual Sahel Zone, someone figured out what to buy.

Image

No matter where you go, there will always be the odd normal person.


I -errrr- for once, was speechless.

Image


As soon as I had recovered from the sight of above, I spotted an opportunity to nick a set of headlights for my R16.

Image

Then this thing arrived.

Image


It really is bigger than a house.

Image


Be the gene pool as limited as it is, there is still always someone who needs to be removed from it.

Image


Squire knows how to nick these.

Image


Now, we finally stopped pushing our luck and left the place avoiding being spit roasted in the centre of these native activities, when a fucking ANPR Gestapo Interceptor pulled up behind us. I still don't know what scared me more.

The steed that delivered sterling service on our trip all day was stopped in front of some fucking thing.

Image

That very location provided the backdrop for the road movie I would film.

Image


I leave it up to your fucking imagination how this film would continue, but me, for my part, would watch it repeatedly, I.

And thus, my friends and copper engravers, endeth a day the likes of which I just can't fucking have enough of in my shitty dismal little life.

This is the GGG reporting.
They didn't like this kind of shit on a mainstream forum for cars.

I can see from the pics that the car is an utter pig.

Sad thing is, some fool will cough up for it.

I bought these 20 years ago for under £500, and I doubt they're any better after two decades.

The car is not an utter pig. Its recent and current owners are.
In the hands of a car instead of a money enthusiast, it wouldn't take a lot to make it really nice.

There's me thinking it's a tatty E21 auto that's been painted with a yard brush and a hoover. To put it right would be another 8 grand once you start digging, rechrome the bumpers, retrim the seats and makes it into the car it should be. And it's still a 3 speed auto with an open diff. I'll pass.

A proper 323i has the 5 speed manual c/r box, limited slip diff, Recaro seats and He-Man Bilsteins. That's just got nothing.

But it's clean and shiny with low miles. That's all the public see. I've sold so many cars based on how clean they are rather than how good they really were
OMG U OK HUN?
