Neil's Coupe

hey Neil, its Jamie off of Instagram, i've just read your whole Journal, very impressive stuff & Your camera skills are amazing! Still got a hankering after a coupe despite telling myself i can't sell the '46, yours is just like the one i sold 4 years ago, although it wasn't specc'd up anywhere near yours. I actually remember seeing the car at DC13 now, i was admiring it as you were blaring some tunes out!

Hey Jamie! Thank you!

You do need to sell the vert! Just don't replace it with another e46. :lol:

Cars looking great Neil! As usual! If i didn't live so far away I would try and get to a few more of these events.

Pics were taken by Darren Teagles, he has that lovely E30 M3 think the numberplate is E2 DAD. He also had that lovely interlagos blue Z4M coupe but recently sold it for a CSL.

Thanks Tom!

You should plan to make it down to one next year! BMW Festival is not too far from Birmingham if it helps. :)

Darren's photos are nothing short of amazing!

I take it his CSL also ends in DAD?

Also update! (though an incredibly minor one)

I grabbed a voltmeter from a friend who was stripping out his car and slapped it in last weekend.

Need to get around to re-trimming the surround to fit perfectly, but it'll do for now. It's wired directly to my amplifier at the back.

Not really something essential, but its something I've wanted for a while. Despite the regulated power supply in my amp, it's always better to have strong voltage.

Your car appeared in one of the BMW mags I was reading at the airport. They must've done a feature on an invent you were at and included the photo. Nice ride for sure

Yes, it's been in two issues now! Players from last September and Players Classic from earlier this year!

A feature would be nice! :rofl:

Thank you sir!

So...'update' to this thread.

Spent the past three days preparing the car for Players tomorrow.

Started with hosing the car down and drying it off and then two passes of:

Meguiars finishing wax

Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine

Meguiars #16 hard wax

and Finished off with Meg's Ultimate Liquid Wax.

Lastly a light spritz of Dodo Juice Red Mist and a final wipe down.

The wheels were cleaned with a weak solution of Megs D140 and water. Dried with some quick detailer and lastly wiped with Red Mist.

Dishes were polished with AutoSol and some elbow grease.
