Another Fail5port Barg3. I'm in love5.

[Budgie]

So the missus' sister needs a car to kart the kids about in for a few weeks and could I source a car for them to drive to save renting one.

I took this upon myself to buy another car. Total now of five. Fleet, almost.

Anyway, this is now my favourite car I've ever owned. A few pics:

So yeah. Drives lovely. Few little things that need sorting, but overall it's incredible for the money!

Oh, and V8. Yes. s**t pics? Awaits a Cs potato 'joke'.

 

[Herr Flick]

What V8 is it?

 

[Budgie]

Clue is in the thread title.

Clue is in the thread title.

Or the boot badge lol.

Great shed! Absolutely love it. Needs wood though

 

[Rob]

That looks awesome, but holy cow what are you taking photos with?

List of motors now then Ginger?

What is the 535 lump in this gen? Loving the style 32's!

 

[Herr Flick]

So it's a 3.5 V8?

 

[Christopher.]

Looks like it could benefit from a set of M-Parallels and wood interior mate.

How is the V8 to drive ? Smooth as silk id imagine

Lol! I wish I could take a picture of this phone. It's probably one of the most battered iPhones on the planet.

Current fleet is:

E39 535 M Sport

E30 325i Cab

32k mile Ph1 172 Project minter.

Track spec Ph1 172

Shed Ph2 172.

Need to get shot of four of them tbh. Sensible offers confused.

 

[welshname]

Love the latest barge. Why is there still no thread for the mint ph1?!?!

 

[Saner]

Because he has a life outside the Internetz?

 

[welshname]

The internet isn't all that there is to life?

Christ I'd need a sit down if I wasn't already.

 

[cat171]

Really nice, I think it looks great :approve: Where was it from ? I've definitely seen that number plate somewhere before.

 

[lemonnobby]

dont break that black ph1 ive looked after that for ages

 

[Crybert]

I've recently bought one, albeit the 3 litre. Bloody love it. So smooth and effortless

 

[Daniel]

I had a manual 535i (or maybe 540?!) not that long ago. I couldn't sell it for love nor money! Ended up getting peanuts for it on ebay and it went to Poland to be broke for spares. Terrible shame really.

I'd keep the minter ph1 and the 535 though. Get shot of the rest.

It's lovely and smooth mate. Engine sounds awesome, and pulls a lot harder than it feels like. Put your foot down, there's a gentle surge, look down and it's 80mph, lol.

Cheers mate. Progress has been pretty slow TBH on the minter. Just waiting on the wheels coming back from the refurbers, and a snappy wheel and it's done matey. All the hard work has gone into it already.

Cheers mate- car came from Plymouth. Think the plate will be going back to the previous owner unfortunately.

I have to say mate- it's a lovely car. Drives really nicely! Proper testament to 1*2's getting better with miles as long as maintained properly.

Surely the Driftworks boys would have snapped that up? Agree- mega shame that.

Will be selling all five i think, and buying another cheap shed. Will be a toss up between the 535 and the Black Ph1 as to which one makes it longest though, i reckon.

 

[Cub.]

Awesome work. You already know how much I like the 5'er

 

[lemonnobby]

Thanks mate good to hear. Andrew and his wife loved that car. All work was done on it etc. When needed

 

[Gally]

I drive an auto one a lot, hate how sluggish they feel with gears though. I'm used to this new fangle tech and it's just old.

They are an ultimate waft wagon though! Guy has had his for a long time!

 

[mr bognor]

That is nice .

Do you think its time you sold some of your cars tho

Alan

 

[Scrooge]

That's properly nice mate!

 

[Budgie]

Cheers Ant. Loving it more an more by the day.

Got four Clio wheels with tyres and four additional tyres in it earlier, no problems at all. Probably could have got the same in again too!

 

[Mr R.]

V8 tardis, love it.
