You were mental getting rid in the first place after all the work you'd put into it !


I've just spotted this, which would sit nicely with the Compact when I start getting 7-withdrawl symptoms:

And then also this one, quite hilariously described as "a nice project for someone to put back on the road with minimal effort" :o :shock:

I think that's taking some serious artistic license with the truth.

But E38s are lovely. I wonder if the 2.8 would feel underpowered? Can it waft like it should?

Credit where it’s due that’s impressive work but I’m not sure I’d want a car after it’s been through that kind of trauma.

And todays want:

I showed it to the wife and she said “mmmhhhhhrrr”. It’s a mildly indifferent noise, but slightly on the positive side and definitely not a hard no.

I don’t think she’s planning to use it with you.

On the plus side, that means there’ll be more room in it for torture and murder 😃

I like it, but you'd need a plan for using it and more importantly, somewhere to store it when you're not using it.

You know it'll stink inside and need a load of renovation to actually use it though!

Free candy ? Sounds legit.

What I really need is something like Krieger’s “Screaming for Vangeance”:

Just in case anyone here is not a fan of eighties metal, it's a reference to the Judas Priest's 1982 album Screaming for Vengeance:

And Krieger is the mad genius / massive deviant from Archer.

And at the same time that Gavster is suddenly asking about car washes, a line of business with a high cash turnover.

Coincidence ???

Edit to add, I just remembered that a car wash is exactly what Walt bought :lol:
