Did he maim the driver of said white good?


Sadly he didnt, was disappointed in him for this, but in fairness he'd just had his knees bounced off the steering column so.

Ive suggested this but he doesnt have the time or space.

Is undoubtedly repairable but dunno if he will be happy knowing its a Cat D. Plus hes been looking at the B6 Convertible so that'll probably be his replacement.

You lot are mad, wheels are epic btw.

Doubt it'll get sent to any scrap yard, theres a few people on the alpina register that have enquired about it so I imagine it'll be rebuilt just not by us.

There's an (older) BMW at work with Alpina badges on the boot and "Bi Turbo", always wondered wth it was as the badges looked a bit "stuck on" if you know what I mean.

After reading this thread I guess they're good then?

Lotus Elise 111R

Yea fantastic car, savagely fast, never did update this thread but after he got the pay out for the black one he bought this

Strong money for an old car like, I was going to say £11k looked expensive for the bent one until I saw the price of the new one!

Just don't know why anyone would want to put that mileage on something that rare that's all.

Because it's only a car? Don't see the point in buying a rare car not to enjoy?

This. If you are going to buy a car, and leave it on your drive to look good... you deserve shooting. Unless its dry stored and has a good run every now and then, not driving it could be worse for the car!
