Hello PH, putting up some photos of my cars for interest/ridicule smile

First, my "nice" car, 1999 Séat Toledo 1.8 20v S. Really nice, refined car, but is just a little too refined and nice for me. Note the PH sticker on the boot wink




But I got the silly car bug, so I bought this 1990 BMW 318i off eBay for £340. It's got 2 different types of alloys, 121000 miles on the clock, the dash lights don't work properly, there's a bit of trim coming off that fouls the clutch sometimes, no radio, an almost straight through exhaust system so it's stupidly loud.

I think it's ace biggrin

The standard 1796cc M40 engine has 115bhp I think. Mine probably has less now, because it's old and abused biggrin If I don't sell it, I'll hopefully be modifying the engine (putting a less ridiculous but more flowing exhaust, proper intake, maybe even a head rebuild).
