This one has got 94k on the clock and the only thing I’ve done is the rocker cover gasket weep, which is v common. I have another later one, which has the all red rears, which does look a lot better. It’s a 316, which is pretty weedy, so that’s the one I’m going to play around with. The silver 2.5 I’m just going to keep stock and get it mint. Never going to be desirable, but it’s a little bit of BMW’s history...

So, I’ve bought possibly, no actually, the most unloved car BMW has ever made... This is my 325i Individual Press/management car (OBL reg) every option in the book ticked, professional satnav system with phone, (£2300 option!) electric sunroof, alcantara sports seats,226 sports suspension pack, factory staggered 18” MV1’s Its Titan Silver and no 80 off of the production line. I was going to strip it and do a manual conversion, but knowing it’s history, I’m going to keep it as is and bask in its Lexus light/ sawn / rover 45 fronted loveliness. They are getting thin in the ground and 20 years old next year. Still going to be the runt of the range though! Cheers Daz.

Well after a few beers, I've ended up with this beauty! A Honda S-MX. Proper JDM car 2 doors on one side, 1 on the drivers, column change auto, bench seats and for some reason, a 2 litre engine. The seats fold into a double bed and there is umpteen cupboards, drinks holders etc. This is the standard car, which is pretty unusual as the few over here are usually lowdowns (-35mm ride height) and body kit. BIT stuck with mods, as virtually everything is unique to these and they are, er,thin on the ground. Going around a corner is quite frankly terrifying,as you slide across the dead flat seats,it rolls like a 2cv and everything you put next to you, including the passenger ends up in your lap! All my mates hate it, which just increases it's coolness in my eyes Going to get the wheels refurbed and get some Japanese accesories like a parking wand and rock around in it. Best thing is unlike the Scooby, people go out of their way to let you out at junctions,rather than seeing you as a threat to their manhood/womanhood. Cheers Daz.

Been looking at some of the n/a tuning the Australians have been doing. GSR 1100 throttle bodies are a popular and relatively cheap one. Running a custom map, re profiled cams, exhaust and induction yields around a 35% increase in power over stock. Then you get into the world of turbos and chargers, which are well out of my pocket a guy on one of the forums has one with 650 bhp.....

Poly bushes all around and give it a drop.it's very limited when it comes to mods due to the rarity.if I lived in Aus, I'd be okay! They love em and there's a world of tuning bits...

Not sure this counts due to its age just creeping over the Y2K RR cut off, but does have rarity on its side. Just picked up this Suzuki Baleeno GSR 1800. This is one of a few obscure Japanese hot hatches I've had in the last few years and doesn't dissappoint. Spot on handling, but really long gearing... Alacantra trim, with really good seats.factory uprated suspension and lightweight. Its another forgotton hothatch that didnt impact the big boys.They did 250 in silver and 250 in black, so not likely to see one passing! ?
