Cool, you already know where i live so no worries...

If you get the date right then maybe i'll even take you for a spin in my new Baby :wink: hence the reason the Porsche needs to go ASAP...
From fastest to slowest:

Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

:lol:

If I buy your Porsche then my fastback will sit for another 6 months. So as tempting as it is, I will have to back down...

Little late, but yesterday I left the fleetline's side doors open, and two characters came and took all the seats lying inside !! :shock:

One loves buggies, Baja's and other bastardized beetles ( :twisted: ) and the other one is always fixing a couple of beetles and his nickname indicates that he wants to be an aeroplane mechanic.

They left behind a KKK sticker (not the guys in the pointy white hats), the lindequesdrift KKK.....

Reward offered for any information leading to their arrest :wink:

Adjusted front brakes. Spent 1 hour scrubbing the paint off the steering wheel to get it back to that original gray. I do love previous owners bodge jobs. Seriously crap paint on a perfectly good wheel? <-- knob

Currently working out why the cab fills with noxious smells when I drive over 60mph. Somehow there is a leak in the exhaust or something else that is causing the leak. Underneath the car..
