Tell me, what happened to mevlits red E21? do you remember that car?


Retro ill let you know about the sale when it comes, to be honest you wont find an alpina as close as mine cos i searched high and low for those seats (thanks to dave who gave them to me as a final piece of the jigsaw), also the wheels, the 40 Litr fuel tank in the boot, steering wheel, geat knob, production plate, front spoiler... list goes on!!! oh and Z4 M power short shift leaver....... list goes on OH and stainless steel 6 brancg exhaust from front to back 2 boxes!!!... and a heavy roar!! not forgetting recently fitted alarm imobaliser system and remote engine starter!!

Thanks for the kind comments on the car..

Ayds, what job you do? if you dont mind me asking mate!!

Maybe you can pm me a rough estimate of the sort of price you'll expect to get so I can start advertising my kids on flea-bay? Seriously though, if the price is right I'm genuinely interested.

Ok, wasnt sure as i remember seeing that E21 been in it loads of times and remember khan was after that car for time, also there was another guy in the gang, cant bloody remember he also has a white E21 and where ever they went was together... he owns a double glazing shop in lincoln road... i think unless he sold it....

Retro, when summer comes and goes then its when ill be contemplating, its that ive done too much to the car for me not to enjoy it a little and to sell it off without the experiance of E21 fun, probably i had all that in my very early twenties . at least.. but i gotta tell you to be honest, the engine in there will be shifted out in replacement of a 325, cos that engine from nut and bolt is new and thats where all the money went into....

ok matey, sorry about the idea of shifteing the engine but after a high comp piston change ive only done about 180 miles and the pistons havent even worn in yet as i dont have time yet to drive it... so you can imagine the amount of cash invested in it, the car is fully tracked with police and via mobile phone alert :lol: so that car where ever it is, gps will tell in minutes and where its hidden f*** no one will ever find that tracker in the car which is why i fitted it myself !!! guranteed or ill cut my bollocks off slowly with a sharp rigid blade on a bloody wet chopper board :oops:

Ouch!! now thats painfull!!!

glad youve put pics up. wondered what this e21 was that youve got.
what 911 you thinking of?? id have a 964 shape carrera 4.

trouble with trackers is its the damage they cause looking for it. an audi rs4 avant that was nicked, came in at work. had the inside of the car ripped apart while they were looking for it! looked like a tyranasaurus had been trapped inside the car!!

I heard a rumour that if you hid a cheap mobile phone in the car its signal could be used in the same way as a tracker?? Do you reckon there could be any truth in that? It sounds possible but.....

Hi, no it wasnt me getting hit by a bus in wood green, i stripped my bmw and scrapped it at the end..... the only time i smashed a car up was when i used my dads 635 on the way to pick up my girlfriend at the time in enfield and i was going that little bit faster and the wanker in front floored it me thinking she was passing thru the lights then decided to brake and i smashed the whole front up of the 635 and insurance didnt pay they wrote the car off.. i was 18 at the time... suly sounds familier with calibra but were going back in real time.... if i see his face then i remember...

Retro, LOL cheap mobile, i see what your saying, have it constantly on with the ringer off and phone it then get police to trace it? thats a long way of doing it and i think that would cost police more time and money from your pocket. the tracker is more like a phone with a fixed number with no bottons or screen and its registered to the police call center but you have to pay e.t.c.
