Welcome, From Wisconsin. USA. Quit a list of nice cars, you have there. I was surprised that you mentioned a *****'s Coupe. (the #1 desired car, of the gasser era. Also the most valuable. $60k-$120k I've seen them priced at.) Especially when Angelica's made better drag cars. I Like the Cherokee over the Grand Cherokee, Because of the better gas MPG. (As a daily driver), The bullet proof In-line six, The narrower wheelbase, Less to go wrong, Less up kept. And yes, mine will be a collectors in 2011. (Or vintage)

I just got some Goodyear snow socks, they arrived the same day the rain washed away the last of the snow still i'll have them for future use, we just don't get enough snow to justify winter tyres.

Where abouts will you be visiting when you come over.

It was watching a film called Hot rod with a primered *****'s in as a kid that got me hooked, i managed to get a copy on DVD last year, i'm never likely to own the car, never even seen one in the metal, but i'll get my fix watching the movie.

Wont be making a purchase until next year, i just cant stop scanning the classifieds, it wont be a daily driver so definitely no diesels, i want to get one as cheap as possible so i can keep the 535i but we'll see what happens. I made a tentative mention to the OH about another vehicle which was met with a very frosty reception I'll talk her round or just go and buy one a deal with the aggro later

Well we do have the Morris Minor which if you squint sort of looks like the ******, but with a 1000cc A series motor it really isn't the same.

Hey, i did see you're posts on here, i'm at Birmingham Airport most days doing airport transfers so if you see a Blue 55 plate merc vito bus give me a toot, also get to the Boat inn by the airport for meet with the E36 coupe forum.

The friendliness of the forum comes across as soon as you start browsing .
