Hi, i posted some pics of a cousins garage/workshop on here recently and after a call asking for a hand have since found out he has another couple of units in the town close to me.
Here’s a few more pics (ps, the old school mini is now 4 wheel drive)

There's a few classic rally guys who would rip his arm off for that 2-door Escort.
Had a friend who owned a 1300E with all the wood cappings etc, in concours condition.
He was offered £30k for it, by someone who just wanted the shell to rally with!!!!! Mental.
He showed them the door!
HQ of 'Norfolk Zed Rescue'.
Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

That escort is a one owner car with 30k on the clock! Needs a bit of work but worth it when they’re that valuable :o

Someone's ruined a lovely Polo G40.

Have a soft spot for them, but mine was white...and only a little more power than standard thanks to a different pulley, bigger throttle body and a remap.

He’s mulling over a modified car lift to let him drive cars onto the mezzanine floor (that he fitted himself) :o
