Still here - flew through MOT apart from FTP bulb. The support you get from the members on here is amazing and makes owning an 8 a lot less frightening when a problem crops up
Is this forum dead?

BB we are all waiting for you

Hey Sang and BB and all, I still visit. Have been under the car a lot lately fixing things and yes sometimes I think enough of this, too old to be scrambling around under 2 tons of car, BUT when she's sorted and running there's no way I'd give her up. Ah....

Hi chaps. Surely someone must be wanting to give myself and BB a rubbish old 8 series? I really can't see why you guys keep them! The rusty sunroofs, crappy pixels, rubbish headlight adjusters. Why do you all bother?
If anyone fancies a swap I' ve decided to sell this little gem. Think of the planet guys and start knitting yoghurt.

If looking for something that at least appears to be good value for money (given the time of day...) - CC66500 has just appeared here looking rather well kempt.

Silver is fancy Reinhard, really fancy.

Beside the fact that the steering wheel is on the wrong side , the car looks great and the price is really low.
I can actually hear it calling: "BB where are you..."Cheers,
Steve -

Like this former beauty queen, ...which drove directly past our new shop yesterday afternoon, almost giving my wife palpitations, and me too.
I rushed out and spoke with the owner while the lights were holding him up obviously. 'I had one..' - almost didnt want to say too much. In any case I was noticing the details here & there, and feeling a bit like telling him to stop being so tight and fix the car up.
But then I remembered I sold mine because i was too tight and shut up.

Tough times for the yellow one..
By chance... did you take another picture or remember the car rego?
Appreciated!
Reinhard -
Reinhard I'm really sorry I was in too much of an emotional moment , narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic in the opposite direction, obviously no time to think.
I did speak to my wife about our car.. our yellow car.
There was a tacit agreement between myself and the buyer (in theory only - yet to be tested ) that because I sold him the car for such a reasonable sum (I was having emotional problems marketing her - placed her online at a very low price considering there was 9 months warranty still remaiig on a repaired transmission, then dropped the price instantly by 20% when she wasnt sold within 5 days)
Hence the buyer did realise he was getting a super, near original car at a proper 'value' price. He agreed that should he decide to sell it, he would come and find me, no matter how many years later, and offer me first refusal to buy back car at ORIGINAL sale price.
Its unlikely to really happen ..but the difference is, wife agreed firmly today, text him, remind him of that agreement ...just in case.
It would be hard paying 7k for a car i have no link with, but if my car comes back to me at 5k.. you will see me again.
The 'other E31' option still feels like a remote gamble I may be too scared to take, but i'm theoretically back in the market for a 5k car with good history. I'm happy to say its become a remote poissibility
in fact typ[ing the words quite strange almost like i'm setting some metaphorical wheels in motion somewhere..thank you for havig the patience to read this silly, long post!

I just really, really really want to somehow get 'my' car back.
If anyone spots MY old car for sale anywhere at any time (it has a changed number plate, E13 something or E something) PLEASE do not delay to alert me by email immediately -
my email is burn at diverseclothing DOT com
i'd be hugely gratefulo if the forum were always alert to that particlaur car coming back on the market, and revisit this thread and email me so i can buy it / haggle / remind him of that (gentleman ) agreement.
again sorry long message
original number plate: R241 JGH -
I think i may do that thing, where I peruse 8 Series adverts during all of my spare time.
The budget could be 7k for the right car.., but the interior colour scheme of that one above doesnt entirely inspire me. just saying in case you guys see aything else around..or Lord forbid someone here decides they have a spare E31 they want to pass to a caring owner.
best wishes all

Edit to add: thats bullshit about the interior, I do like the colour scheme.
first years accounts due in springtime so i may be in the market by then, !!.. or not, perhaps.
this one likely a bit early for me..
very nice car.. maybe lacking a touch of pizazz. but i'm looking at the Build sheet again now!
It would probably be Yellow, another unusual colour, or nothing for me -
I'd love a white 8 in amazing nick , with black and lotus white interior ...& i want full telephone
-
I should give Hockney a call... but I have no dogs, 3 cats and they don't like driving places. Plus, I don't have his number obviously

Like mine , after several years of seaching finally found an old Sim card it accepted.

BB, sounds like you've got it bad. Buy now before the prices go too high. Chances of getting your old car back are small, find another one, ideally in yellow, I love that colour.
