Hi,

I've had a thing for the E86 for a long-time. I'm joining up in the hope a fellow enthusiast will let me take a closer look at one here in Northern Ireland, or finding one for sale here or maybe not too far away in Scotland

Cheers,
Darryl

Hi and welcome Darryl.

An E86 is a great car, but they can be addictive.

Welcome along.
When I was looking for my E86 last year I was surprised at the number that appeared for sale in NI, (well 2 or 3). I ended up going way down south for mine.

Funny you mention it Benderloch 'cos there was a short period of a few here, then nothing. The hunt continues but I've seen nothing that isn't a 2-day excursion from N.I.

Long story short, I've bought the car advertised by Aria on the forum, based in Aberdeen.

I flew over yesterday then drove it the 220 miles back to Cairnryan for the ferry home.

What a magnificent car. It was in much better shape than I imagined even though the photos and videos looked great.
What a great drive home. A day to remember.

Fuel stop in Aberdeen. Aria left half a tank in it

but I filled it for the run home.

Stopping for chips in Girvan.

I made good time so took some photos in Girvan harbour

In Cairnryan terminal

On the ferry

It’s been well worth the wait to get the right car. Congratulations, and that drive home is always a bit special.
