Default MY NEW CAR ---FOR NOW

got this well known rouse 304r in today.a real nice honest car thats had a fortune spent on its upkeep.goes very well too.



unfortunately due to the shit weather and other reasons,work is very quiet so as much as i would like to keep it,its probably going to have to go up for sale.

hope you like the bmw bobby

must admit it looks lovely in silver with the 18" comps on it.

prev owner has spent a fortune on it,and it shows in the way it looks/drives.
got all the original documentation from andy rouse asking the owner to drive responsibly on the public road as there are only about 20 of the original 60-odd built left not many people must have read it!

i wonder how many silver ones were built/are around now.......

i know-unfortunately being a small business which really only covers my day to day living i have to keep everything for sale.
it would be nice to be in a position to say"right-put this one away to keep",but finances dont allow......must work harder!
