That’s a pretty high bar for them to get over. Pretty sure it’s a pre-requisite for anyone wanting to set up a courier company. ”I want to set up a courier company” ”Will it be sh*t service?” ”yes, definitely” ”Great, of you go, fill your boots!”

Another critical part of the puzzle found this week…. Getrag 420g V8 gearbox complete… purchased a complete car that I will wreck out to recoup some cost… not a M5, but a 540 manual swapped with m5 box.

Here’s something you certainly don’t see everyday, especially on a grey Thursday morning! First Lagonda I’ve ever seen in person.

Hate to bump this post but as an update to my post this is fixed now! I literally just went through the car with INPA and reset every single code on the car I could find, and it seems to have miraculously cured it.

Big week for the car this week with a new wheel carrier, right lower control arm, rear carrier ball joint and integral links and Vanos oil line. Turns out my clicking was actually coming from 2 (TWO!) busted sleeves in the carrier. one on the lower control arm and one on the Thrust arm. massive thanks to @Eagle for the installation help. some other niggles have presented themselves such as the DISA needs a rebuild and worn sway bar bushings. Parts on order! in other project new, I have all the bits for my headlight rebuild on the Xenon’s, just need some free time to do it.

Nostalgia googles would have to be firmly rose tinted to spent $230K on an E46 when a 996.1 GT3 Clubsport (arguably the most collectable non RS GT3) is cheaper. https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13173286 https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/13634148 (not a clubsport, but just look at it, and it's 38K cheaper)

Yea, one of the few times I have been pleasantly surprised !! Would be keen to make up some jig and compare the spring strength to the stock item 🤔

That same CSL was advertised for $229k last Monday (I think) by what appeared to be a private seller but was ‘sold pending payment’ by the following evening. Presume the dealer snapped it up quick for $200kish and is happy to sit on it a while to find the right buyer. Looks like a stunning car!

Good price on the bar given what aftermarket ones cost.

looks like they have taken photos of images on a screen, great quality 😂

Canyanero! (Hya) Canyaneerrroooo

F80 M3 in the garage so my 330d has to go. Very tidy. On TM for $24,000 but will take $22,500. TM link here

Little follow up. - Wheel is back on with new tyre. Randomly the price was $346….my number plate is DQZ346! - Bank 2 o2 sensor is in, what a PITA. Glad that’s a 160,000km service interval item! - installed new white LED fog bulbs. Before: After:
