Bit of a sad day. M3 is sold, because of reasons. Loved every minute of it but it just made sense to let it go. Every one should own one of those cars at some point, and I'm glad I did! So long dear friend π
Few more pics.
Thanks for all the messages, I'm very happy, and extremely proud of this. Yes it's been a long time coming but I'm an anxious man and it needed to be the right car. It is, we checked. Looking forward to spending more time with it now!
Before / After.
We've just learned our workshop is known in Dubai as "The guy in Paris who polishes better than Patek". And it makes us pretty effing proud.
Quick story for international friends. French Youtubers Vilebrequin have decided to build a 1000hp Multipla. They have bought a C7 Corvette and mated its chassis to their Multipla, and paid Kei Miura to design and build the bodykit. They're at painting stage now.

The Lotus SUV teaches us that making 2500 units of a 900kg car a year is bad for the environnement, but 10000 2 tons cars is green as fuck. Brilliant job.
Everybody's going crazy for the red F1 going for auction but it's not the best spec, the wheels are ugly. Chassis 18 on the other hand, that's perfection. LM engine upgrades too.
Sorry have been quiet lately. My shop was robbed on wenesday, my associate held at gunpoint, again. Here's a list of the stolen watches, please share and keep your eyes peeled.
Twitter allows 4 pictures, so I've been working on a 4 cars garage, money no object. 355 Modificata, Monkey spec Touring, Manual CSL and CLK Black.

's first drive of the then new 997 GTS I learn that Amethyst was one of the available options. So I promptly googled it and Oh My God.
Driving home in traffic I was rolling along a dying Merc with four young lads pointing and staring and smiling at the car. I slotted second, gunned it. They were extatic. I loved that.
And they didn't seem to mind to wrong wheels either.
Look who's back from fettling π
Big nice fuck off to
@UPS
for losing my 45kg diff, a magic trick only they could play ; but now I have a new one, and that's nice.
The only McLaren finished in Creighton Brown and one of the lowest mileage examples in existence, with an astonishing 410 kilometers (254 miles) on the clock.

Phone call from the mechanic. "Finally had the time to take your car on a drive. That's a very sane car, I'll fix the leak and you're all good."
Just what I needed to hear π
Us car nuts are a weird bunch. I do find this car impossibly cool, but wouldn't want to be seen dead in a Cab Evoque. Explaining this to a non-car person would be very very difficult indeed.
Right, thanks to good friend and outright legend

I'll be coming to Bicester Scramble in April. First time driving in the UK, first big trip with the B3. Hoping to see some of you lot there! Cheers π
