No, no, no, no, no, no! What have I done? My wife's gonna kill me! OK - it had to happen sooner or later - I've just been a big fat stupid Hector and just bought this lovely BMW 728i off the 'bay,on impulse, for the bargain price of £100 At least this way I'm surely the winner of the challenge I set yesterday! ;D ;D ;D Now all I gotta do is work out: 1. Quite what the hell I'm gonna do with it 2. Where the hell I'm gonna keep it 3. How I'm gonna keep this one on the down-low from you-know-who!! It's a real beaut though, I'm sure you'll agree!! ;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D She's gonna farkin' flip!! Downsides are no ticket, and general shabbiness. Upsides: "Only" 92,000 miles - so just run in then! It's a five-speed manual! None of that Auto nonsense! Shouldn't be too hard to get it roadworthy. I'd best book a table somewhere nice for tomorrow night and break it to her gently..... ;D

Be careful there are no full glasses of wine/plates of food around though, you may get very messy when she chucks them at you!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

I know it will!! It's not going in mine though....it's a bit too good to do that to still. Time to find a nice rat-look 316 with a knackered engine for a bit of a chav-baiting special!. Maybe this:Would be a good home for that engine.... Alternatively, I'm really taken with the idea of smoking about in it "as is" for a bit.... ....proper low rent style.

Nice one! You did it right though: Buy first, engage brain after! ;D Love those old 7-series bimmers. Worst comes to the worst you could tidy it, get a ticket on it and sell for a profit (although my guess is you have plans to drive the beast - can't blame ya! )

I saw a great looking base spec looking 316 the other day. A shame it was white, but even still it looked great, not a mark on it. As usual I didn't have a f*cking camera on me!

I kinda knew it would meet with your approval, BenzBoy!
As luck would have it, looks like my driveway's gonna be finished by monday night too, so I'll have a place to put it. Might "hide" it for a while first tho'!
Now, how would one go about strapping a turbo to it, 745i styleeee! ;D ;D ;D

Scott - I've got a cunning plan! The car is in Chesham. Who do we know who lives near there, and has a big driveway and an empty garage?!
