Default Time to say goodbye to the scoob

As you most of you know i've had the RA up for sale for a while and well, i've sold it at long last. It's gone to a lad from southend so will obviously point him in the direction of the club.

I'll be checking in from time to time as Dad still has his wagon and i've got the monthly golfing bug. Still resisting the big kites for now . But seeing as i won't have to spend fortunes keeping a scoob on the road it may allow me a few spare £ to spend on other interests as well as the new ride .

Speaking of the new ride i've partly taken a leaf out of of Supercue's, Mark B4's and Cornelius' books. It's rwd and becoming quite retro in a standard form. Plus some nice German build quality.

yup. 325i with fast road cam, induction kit (soon to be changed a bit. Thinking of taking out one of the head lights to set up as a cold air feed if i can), stainless system and a set of alpinas. Full silver leather. Needs a bit of matty 2 clear buckets treatment but should be able to bring it up ok. Got a few idea for it. mainly ones that won't cost an arm and a leg. just something to put my stamp on it.

Good news that it is finally sold mate.

E30 is by far my favourite BM... Especially lowered with some Azev A wheels .

You still going to be on the old email to provide advice and detailing services?

ross - already been thinking about a set of azevs for when i need some new tyres. i could keep the alpinas as a winter set.

dave - checked them and they work. last owner must have sorted it ready for selling it

Fozzy - yup fancied a bit of old skool cool. can't afford the time on money on a mk1 or 2 escort so went for what i thought was the next best thing. In theory should have about 180 - 190 bhp before i get the chip put in

That does look a cracking car mate.

You're not wrong about Mk2 escorts, £1200 is about average for a bog standard 1.3 4 door, £6000 for an RS2000 and around £2500+ for a 2 door!
