daniel smith Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi Brian Thank you for your email. I did forget to mention that brand new wide track suspension had just been put on the car, braided pipes alround, carbon fibre tunnel and sills, wing protectors, new windscreen and a private plate (possible sale alone). Reg perfect for Super Light R or Merc. K18 SLR. Replacement for my pride and joy will unfortunately come in the form of a one bedroom flat in Plymouth - very boring I know.

finmac Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hi Daniel You dont fancy forgetting the flat and instead doing a deal with me for my M3?! (see my for sale advert - looking to swop for a car of similar spec to yours). M3 is a lovely car but maybe not to live in! Anyway all the best with your sale, if the M3 goes soon will give you a bell and a free BTT on me anyway. cheers Finlay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Deslandes Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Well, at least I had the pleasure of helping you rebuild a fine car and, after all, we are only the custodians of these beasts for a while. Sorry you've got to let it go. Let me know when (not if) you want to do the next one. I've just painted the garage floor bright blue in memory of your car.
