update on my fleet.
the 20vt mk2 prioject is ongoing, but the light at the end of the tunnel is now getting brighter.
I treated the caddy to some very rare Porsche fitment MSW wheels. I bought them 2 years ago and they needed one centre cap as it was missing. Been looking worldwide and not found another. Eventually took the decision to have one CNC machined. You have heard about the people who's wheels are worth more than their cars? my centre cap is worth more than my car haha
I was offered this as a swap for my wife's mk3 golf tdi estate. It came without an interior or wheels. Located a cheap interior, slammed on a set of tt rims and lowered it 40mm. then had it remapped at http://www.map-tech.co.uk to 200ish bhp. Been a really good car and i am going to miss it.
But I have just replaced it with this!
Its a 230 coupe but the previous owner has replaced the engine with a tuned 325, also running a map-tech remap. He estimates about 200 bhp - its off on the rollers as soon as they arrive in the unit i share so we shall see! It also has an M3 diff so its an interesting drive....
Coilovers and new wheels soon (bbs rc split rims for those that care...)

That's a nice looking BMW - they were so much more attractive during that period than they are now IMO. I've never had one myself but quite often find myself admiring a lot of things about early-mid 90s BMWs (and one or two later models.)
I have a horrible feeling that they are more likely to have been inconsiderately thrashed and neglected by the time they're old enough for me to consider than, say, an equivalent Volvo or Mercedes... maybe that's not true though?

This is our sorry looking vehicle, she's a good old stick though 2001 S40. My daughter who's 12 nearly 13 feels it's an embarrassment but if it get's you from A-B with reasonable comfort what's their to complain about. She wants the Ford Mondeo that we got as a hire car when someone drove into the back of the Volvo.

My Pajero finally died 
At least I got £350 from the scrappy though. So I did what any right thinking person would do. Having just got rid of a 21 year old Japanese car, my mrs was on at me to get something newer and more reliable. So I bought a 23 year old French car 
Just brought it home so only have the seller's pic for now, but on first impressions I'd say it's £280 quid well spent.
