Fair enough, I'm aware that it isn't over yet, but seeing as we all like retro cars and definitely like pictures... One picture to describe your weekend (car related) - and a brief description.  Went to view the green E23 yesterday, deposit left and then went back down this morning with my old man to pick it up. Now sits happily alongside my '83 728i (which will now be getting some much needed time off the road to have work done, whilst still being able to scratch my E23 urge!). |

Bought spare rims for the E90. Laughed at the size difference between the rears and the winter tyres from the Townace:-) (Bonus pic for tyre fetishists)  Cleaned both cars, then loaded up the Townace with bikes for a day trip:-)  |

 Spent this weekend on my girlfriend's Capri, a mate has just finished fitting new rear chassis legs and lots of work to the floor and inner sills. I was given the joyous job of waxoyling, I came out from under the car with a slightly dodgey tan. Interior has also been refitted and she is now just an mot away from being ready for the rr gathering! |
