OK - so this is just an intro - as I've managed to get some photo's together in one place for once……. and have a bit of spare time this afternoon….. so here goes -
E28 long gone - 2500S still in the naughty corner in the grage

It's all rust free (I think) after serious surgery. Engine still turns over and fires up - but being dropped on the casing has cause untold problems - it's awaiting an engine and box transplant - my car my rules

It's sitting next to this -

which I'll get running and use later this year - just as it is...…. front of wings are shot, so Ladaspares will be raided at some point.

and this

bought for sweet fuck all from Bramz - it towed everything around, went to France and Poland on holiday trips and never missed a beat. It's a shonky wreck now sadly, out of MoT - and will be given the death blow soon. I looked underneath and vomited! Local exporters will mean I earn on it though to be fair.

Amongst the detritus - I also have the future track only car. Awaiting decision on which engine swap or if a turbo or supercharger shall be fitted…….

to be towed by this -

a 3.0TD - and it's been 'played with' by a previous owner. Colc over on AS had it for a while but unknown origins. It's a fast old bus! Munchkin loves it, so it's staying for the forseeable…….

and I am currently contemplating getting this thing over here so I can play with it...….. sympathetic repairs needed I think - ex ShiteKnight, Alcy et al..... I give you - THE KNOBVAN

which brings me to the usual suspects...….
It was to be daily - but currently blowing harder than Katie Price trying to get herself out of debt…… Like KP - it has holes that should seal up - but fail to do so miserably - causing pain and distress to the general public

soon to be fettled though (unlike KP)

and the lovely, lovely, nay - SUBLIME XJR6 - purchased a while back and only this last weekend picked up - due to Eurostar mess and then a vehicular FTP (see below)
I've already fallen in love with this thing and bushes, springs and shocks are all being investigated as the undercrackers will be sorted as only a gentleman could do with old undercrackers……

and it was picked up - becasue this thing decided to let all the sparks out of the spark holding plastic wirey bits in the middle of the night near Lanark…….. I haven't heard from the local wire-wizards yet, but expect a whirly spark maker to be needed…… in it's favourite pose.....

CUNT (for now anyway)

and lastly - you may not see any more of this - as the seller has disappeared off the face of het earth……. therfore I may be saved unending pain and depression in CF amounts. If he does get back to me - I may be sectioned upon collection

I may even update this thread as I actually get my finger out! Miracles DO happen...…….

I didn't realise you had that pickup thing now. Nice selection of tat there, well done.

The CF looks abhorrent, and the half-a-Hiace just hurts my head to look at.

I won't lie, I think knobvan looks a bit shit since it's been painted.

The rest of your stuff is top class though!

Lada for me please! Looks like you had a close shave with that CF. Phew!

Forgot - I've "owned" this for over a year…… but the only time I could get to Isle of Jersey moo moos---- to collect. It of course, wouldn't fucking start...….… been right as rain since then for Craig - who is using it to lug shit all over the place.
It's fucking hanging - but it was only £50

and its a T5 - so I'm going to kill myself at some point in ti I'm sure.
EDIT - Craig just posted this

Sodding XJR - to be fair its the massive potholes near here. Last one was an almighty bang... Allloy and tyre OK so plod on. Knocking over everything less than perfect now - FUCK - I was already eyeing up suspension bushes so now shocks will be added. May as well do the springs while I'm in there...... This shit gets fucking expensive REALLY fucking quickly.

So I transferred the funds for this..... Couldn't resist such a bargain.... Others shall be sorted, re mot'd and up for sale forthwith.
Ill collect as soon as I can of course
