Cheers for that.

It's using the shaped tank in the boot, and an electronic fuel pump sittuated just infront of it. I'm after a quick fix at the moment, but I may cosider one of Adams pumps soon, I may see if I can pop down there so he can have a ganders, if that's ok Adam? :lol:

Here you go, the engine plate on mine is on the passenger side, right at the back where it bolts up to the bell housing.

Mine is a Williams but i would guess that they are all in the same place?

Fair play then. But does your insurance company not want to know aswell, mine did as i forgot to put it on the form, they sent them back highlighted saying all areas must be filled in before insurance can be completed :?

I have had some bad news.

I've got to move as things aren't looking up here, and the likelyhood of finding somewhere with a double garage are slim. To add to that, I haven't got any spare money to insure Kermit or even get it sorted to my liking. My insurance is due on ASSet, so I'm stuffed basically. I litterally have no money left after bills have gone out etc.

So they're both for sale. As a pair or each, dosn't really matter. I don't want ASSet to go on driftworks or anything like that, it's too nice I think. I also want to keep this on the forum for the real enthusisasts, not for someone to trash 7 shades of shit out of it.

I'm going to regret this but what can I do. Both cars are advertised in the For Sale section.

Sorry to hear about this, lets hope they go to a good home, or better still something changes your situation and you can get to keep them both :D

Bit of good news (ish)

I have found an apartment, coach house type thing, with a single car garage underneath. Now, the way I look at it is this......

BMW = Goes back up Dads hard standing, bet Mam will be happy.
Kermit = In the Garage or Drive it.
ASSet = In the Garage, and get it ready for bits out of Kermit.

There's parking outside the garage, enough for one car (Kermit) then I suppose my Mrs can park in the street somewhere. The reason this may be true is, how many people own garages on these so called new build estates but actually own more than 2 cars? A few, especially if they've got young drivers.

Don't know which one it is. I'll find out Saturday. I wish I had all three mind!

I'm not a dreamer/scammer. Last week I was left with no option, one, maybe two, had to go. I'd have lost a lot of money selling the BMW, so that was out of the question. I try and make the best out of any situation, sure money is still tight, but I'm sure if I knuckle down I'll be ok in a couple of months.

However, I'm still not out of the woods yet (wish I was in the woods in a grp4 mk2 escort mind). If it all goes tits up then I'll be back to how I was last week and I don't want that.

If time allows then yes, but I seriously doubt it.

Went to have a look today, just waiting for my landlord to sort stuff out then I can move. He may keep me here until September though.

Parking's tight though outside the house. Going to look at more next week.

Yo yo,

Took ASSet for an mot today, as the other car I was looking at turned out to be a bag o shaite. I took her knowing that the front brakes were F'ed, but though they'd need toilet paper to write all the stuff down that was wrong with it......

Failed

On

Brakes (Did them today)
Back wheel binding (Did that today)
Tyre valve split (Do that Moday)

My old man turned around and said ''You jammy b*stard!!''

Epic win, another years motoring out of her, a car for work and its a 300.

Still need a bonnet though and a boot lock and a few other bits n bobs, but we'll do that as we go along.
