What's your budget, I just need space for another project car.Meh, I might be buying my mates 36 compact for skid duties.Your 46 wont be cheap enough to be a disposable side hoe.

Like £450.
But forget it, it looks like I'm getting the E30 back soon so doing more work on that will keep me preoccupied, and I can MOT it again so I wont need a spare car.

YOU will ALWAYS need a spare car!

He will have project car, spare for when that needs work, spare for when spare inevitably breaks down.

Added another Transporter for works/biking duties
2013, 2.0 140hp, 4 Motion, KMC Holeshots with BFG All Terrains, VW Plastic Arch Trims and Rear Vents to give it the more off-road look

The E30 has never broken down in the 3 years I've owned it. Its always been amazingly reliable. Its obviously needed a tonne of work to fix wear and tear and rust etc, but it's never been undrivable and it's never left me stranded.
Starts first turn of the key every time, even after sitting for over a month. It's only off the road as it wouldn't pass an MOT, but it will have an MOT again soon.

I never said it had broken down but as you have stated it is not road worthy!

Just age related wear and tear. Got to remember its approaching 30 years old and is on 200,000 miles now.
It's half way through having all the rear subframe bushes done, as well as rear brakes, wheel bearings, hoses, and just about everything else attached to it, while it's out. When it's back together it will get MOT'd.
Tbh it's not as much as you may imagine. I'm about 4K into it including buying it and I've had it 3 years. Not bad considering the list of things I've done to it is astronomical. That figure will be considerably worse once it's been painted though. And I've just bought some AVO Monotube coilovers for it...

Which boat, the Celsior? Its long gone, got a V70R now. It was having electrical gremlins which I was tired of chasing.

Nice drive to the petrol station tonight!

Are you going to start using it for your daily commute all year round once it has its MOT? If not then I don't think any claims about its reliability are worth much!
It's really reliable since he never uses it.

Hybrid lyf.

Nice Prius.

I use it all the time... Just obviously not since the MOT ran out!
I dont commute in it, but I do drive it a few times a week, and at least once a month it gets driven several hours to car shows/meets. It has never missed a beat.
