I’ve made the transition from the UK to the US but I have a lot of stuff I need to sort out. Namely my accounts. Does anyone know anyone that can advise someone who works in a freelance capacity? Seems surprisingly thin on the ground particularly finding anyone who specializes in the industry...

I bought a set of Vredestein Sprint Classics last year but I wished I'd have hung on a while longer as Blockley, a UK based tire company who's tires I think look great (authentically vintage looking), have just introduced a 205/70/14VR size. This company based in Los Angeles (I believe)...

They look great. My headrests would not budge. It was as though they were welded in. After soaking with penetrating fluid (as deQuincey said, leaving for a fortnight), I had some luck with careful use of scissor jack wedged between the seat and headrest.

Indeed, it looks great. I have a photograph of my exact car when it was new (1975) and shows the antenna exactly where yours is. My one is a Beru which looks period but I don't know if it's original.

Lovely stuff deQuincey, It's all about the details and that looks great. I'm just curious, Is Hirschmann original equipment?

Thanks David. I have seen all those. I should have said that I'm not after a large car. I've noticed that big high-end cars can be found for pretty cheap. In some cases they can't even give them away. The MX5 is on my list so thanks for that.

Hi Paul. Thanks for getting in touch. I'd certainly be interested in hearing more about it. Do you know if it has air conditioning? .

Still looking ... Thanks Tierfreund but $85k is a bit out of my range. Looking to spend $2000. It's hard to find anything that's suitably nimble and fun whilst not being a complete wreck but I'm determined to find something. I'm quite enjoying the search. If anyone does know of something in...

Nice. Looks tricky to park.

Thanks for the replies guys. Thanks David, that's kind of you. That's quite a fleet. We are staying in Beverly Hills. Definitely worth dropping by that place to kick some tires and thoroughly waste their time. Interesting stuff there Stan though I think that Scirocco would be vastly...

:D I'll try, I am rather intrigued as the seller claims it's '72 car but as far as I know, there were no RHD csi's made in that year.

There was only ever 207 RHD csi's ever made, one of them is available to buy on ebay. 1972 BMW 3.0 Csi wreck

Just posting this on the offchance. Going to be in LA for 3 months from the middle of August. Does anyone have or know anyone who is selling a cheap run-about car (that has A/C)? Any pointers, please get in touch. Thanks, Ben

That last one is pretty nice. Last time I was in SF I saw a lot of old BMWs in a really beater condition. Maybe it's fashionable:

Hi Arde. That's something I will indeed consider if I cannot find a car to hire.

Hi there. Can anyone recommend somewhere that may lend out either an old BMW or an old Mercedes for 2-3 months from the middle of August? I’m going to be working in LA (I’m originally from that way) and it would be great to be driving something familiar. If anyone knows anyone or anything...

Replaced the XWXs with Vredesteins last year and have been happy with them.

Hi Stefan. Not sure if it works. Old Becker's seem to be quite robust though. Going to give it a bit of a clean and see if it will fire up.

Great, thanks. looks like a good resource.

Sort of off-topic ish I guess but is to do with the coupé. I've got an old becker radio that is missing the spring that keeps the cassette door closed when not in use. Does anyone know what this spring looks like and whether there's a easily obtainable substitute/easy fix? Many thanks, Ben
