Nice when clean! They are a bitch to keep clean & tyres are 2 fortunes as I have just started to look, £315 for one rear

Ditch the runflats.

I had the 19" runflats on one of my BMWs, ditching them and replacing with standard tyres was the best decision ever. Transformed the car, handled better and was much quieter on the road as well.

I fear you are looking in the wrong place.

M4 rears are nowhere near that! Thankfully!

I got two Michelin Pilot super sports 285/30/20 from the tyre place in tobermore for £470 (supply only) and got £50 cash back from Michelin, worth a trip to them

That’s a great price! Might have to look into that!

That was before Christmas but they were much cheaper than online prices when I was looking

The design was ahead it of it's time. Chris Bangle took some flack at the time but it still looks fresh after 17 years. I wouldn't mind having a 6 pot petrol auto.

Washed them and realised the white one needs purge badly and the black one needs tarminated (did a panel or two to feel the difference) then buffed. Looks like I'll be busy tomorrow again.
I keep Bridgestone runflats on Zoes 3 series, it feels so much better than any 3 series I've been in before though I suspect it has got slightly lowered springs in as it just doesnt lose any composure in corners or roundabouts.

Removed a handful of wires which weren't even plugged into anything. The ends were either bent and busted to pieces or just hanging freely.
Rebuilt the centre console without the carpet as I want to drive it a bit too see if I can pinpoint where my water ingress is coming from thinking it's the two rear windows as the seals are done for
Then installed my bucket seat from driftworks
This was an absolute mare of a job as the bolt to secure the rail to the chassis was to be fed directly under the seat itself so I had to fiddle with it and eventually got it in then the bolt which secured the seat to the rail wouldn't play ball

Nothing massively exciting today, but got the roof bars off the E46. Looks much sleeker, but definitely needs the coilovers in....which needs the garage emptied....which needs the dumps open

@Mark King stunning. Would be a few old school fords on my list if the numbers ever come up.

Proper car porn right there. A car I would love to own but will never be in the position to.

Took it out for the first time since getting it! I’ve been in the garage adding my own little touches, I was originally after a 997.2 but I’m ocd about a super clean car and not one even came close and I looked at lot!!
this agate cayman popped up for sale at Christmas, private sale by the one and original owner, full OPC history and only 4500 miles! RAF pilot and he was a fussy as me, I just had to have it
some lovely extras, ppf film at @2.5k, in all honesty like a new car, I was nearly buying a new one in 2015 but I decided to use monies elsewhere!
anyway, no nice location so a wall in a car park will have to do, ohh and I’m not any sort of photographer as you can see! Lol

This needs it’s own thread if there isn’t one already! Stunning!
