Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself don`t know if this is the right place to do so or not appologies if it isn`t.My names Chris just got back into BMW ownership again after a long absence with a little e36 316i touring, quite a late one being a `99 T plate.Being a little 316i its no ball of fire but the quality is still there like i remember from the earlier cars i`ve owned previously.Previous BMW`s owned are an e21 an e23,two e28`s(my personal favourite) an e30 touring an e32 and an e34(got stung with that one) but some day i`d like a 635 and a 2002, but i`ve always said i`m not going to `till i can afford a really good example of each.Anyway enough rambling, cheers for now ------------- :CAUTION:TAIL SWING |

Never mind them scrappy old German barges, Ford Cortina and Capris rule! What engines are in them? Cortina wouldn't be a 2.3 V6 Giha?

lol.yes the `tina is indeed a 2.3 V6 Ghia 56k from new to be honest always reminds me of the e28s i used to have very similar drive indeed.My Capri is a mere 1600 at the mo but it`s undergoing a bit of a transformation at the moment with mk2 chrome bumpers grille and badging and a heart transplant with a 2.8 V6 with a webber carb instead of the unreliable and power strangling injection although this may possibly change to the 2.9 cosworth, depends on funds ------------- :CAUTION:TAIL SWING |

wow small world, in a moment of devine stupidity i traded it in against a new Alfa 156, basicaly because we decided to move to Creiff and needed something more modern for the commute everyday and i still wanted something nice and couldn`t afford a new beemer so the Alfa seemed to fit the bill ------------- :CAUTION:TAIL SWING |
