Good 'spots'. the 280ZX looks clean, any coincidence that it's parked right near the Manta?
First time I've seen the word yoghurt used here in its proper sense......
(BTW, you seem to be driving something distinctly non-retro, please refrain from this behaviour where possible).

BTW, the Datsun is lovely - I like the moon roof thing it's got going on as well. The house with the Manta outside has always had cool cars around it, but the Datsun is a new one to me. It's in Meersbrook in Sheffield and it's one of those 'bohemian' areas that breeds proper cars. As a barometer of what it's like round there, there's a mini specialist (minibitz) a mk1 Fiesta specialist and this was in a garden for years and years. It used to fascinate me ;D It's gone to a museum now

BMW dials haven't significantly changed in years - the lighting is even the same colour (orange). These are from an E30. Modern ones are all fly by wire cobblers

This is an M3 dashboard rather than standard e30... you can tell by the ammeter (?) rather than fuel 'swingometer' [/anourak] Interesting to note that the fuel swingometer in the new 318 'only' goes down to 15 mpg... the old ones went down to >10, and mine seems to be permanantly stuck on about 12 ;D

Love that bus but I thought anything that was towed had to have an M.OT or go by low loader?

It'd been in that garden for the best part of 25 years and they towed it back to Blackpool Look at the back step ;D It's very easy to get the swingometer on that new 3-series to go all the way to the right ;D
