Guy has had these cars sitting outside in the garden for years and also has a few more hanging around the garden.

There used to be a guy who had on near me, it was black and orange, would see it most mornings on my way to work.

The last company I worked for trialed one for the office staff, I was up there collecting parts for a job at the time and got to have a go, they are a hoot to drive but it's something like £300 extra if you want the doors with windows [emoji33]

Yep, 2 of them and both genuine. I missed the money shot when they showed them nose to nose on the main stage. £120,000,000 plus right there 😳
GT2 made my willy fizz. What a machine. The Porsche that is. Not my willy.

Yeah I know what you mean, that 250 had no barrier or fencing round it so we just walked up to it and stuck our noses up to the windows and peered in.

I don't think this counts, but I was looking through an old digital camera SD card.

Once upon a time, I used to deal drugs (approx 2009)

I think I owned it for about 4 months. 2 of those months, it was basically in no-mans land - as the head-gasket failed - no joke, on the way home. I bought it from a trader who refused to fix it. It stayed at independent garage, who conducted the leak down test, the day after I'd taken ownership, accumulating storage fees whilst I went down the legal route. It was repaired in the end, but it was a nail.

It's long gone now, I think.

I put the reg in on this site and it was spotted! (in 2017) rate-driver.co.uk

You don't see many E46 M3's nowadays.

I'm really into E46 M3's, think they look epic in the right spec, but I bet the insurance is awful and I've heard too many maintainence horror stories to realistically consider one at the minute though.

I had one between 2017 and 2019

I spent £3k on it while I had it, just under half of that was sorting rust.

It hadn't had the big jobs (rod bearings/head gasket/boot floor/vanos) done but it ran fine so never bothered me (didn't bother the new owner either).

If Carlsberg did track days…

I’ve spent over 25 years in the classic car game and nothing has come close to today.

3 laps in an ex works XK140 with a C Type Engine and gearbox and then 3 in anger in a new GT3RS. What a weapon.

My guvnor got a ride with some racing driver too…
