I thought it was plastidip at first but it looks like there’s so much orange peel that it’s gone satin

I reckon it’s bodgetastic underneath though. Over enthusiastic DIY owner.

Cars usually look better in photos, the paint is going to have to look spectacularly crap in the flesh

8hours to go and it's at £15.1k and still marked as reserve not met.

If you've never watched the classic aussie movie The Castle, you should watch the classic aussie movie The Castle.

That's the one, contains all you ever need to know about Australia. "How's the serenity?" will never be the same

It appears to be on the tube...

Such a great movie. From 26:20 is the serenity bit. But the rest is so good as well.
The antithesis of Crocodile Dundee.

Forgot it has a much much younger Eric Bana in it.

I was browsing vans and found this

Complete with fitted gimp cage ! What more could you want ? Maybe darkened windows and wipe-clean surfaces.

That is very nice indeed. Like you say, a bit of a schlep to pick it up. I've never seen one that colour before.

That ship's sailed, even a mint one would seem crap compared to the 330.

I dunno, lighter weight and skinnier tyres might make it more drivable than the E46.

Anyway, not like I have the money for anything, so bleh

Posted: **Wed Apr 07, 2021 12:28 pm**

The ones I've driven had 'lively' handling. A measly 150bhp too.
