    323 vs 320is

    We didn't use older auction data much so we stopped paying for that service. We have to pay $10 per car now to see it. Bid.cars has been around for a long time but I've never used it. How much does he want for it? That will probably give you an idea if what he paid. And the market is...

    323 vs 320is

    Were they trying to sell it through IAA or did they buy it from IAA and reselling now? I no longer have access to auction historical data.

    Fjord 1973 CSi on BaT for the 3rd time.

    The DMW doesn't really care if a car is "legal" or not as long as they have all the paperwork boxes checked. The VIN verification is key, and the DMV won't verify a vehicle without a federalzation sticker so they refer you to the CHP. The CHP officer can state that the sticker is missing and...

    Senna - Netflix Mini Series

    The definition of NASCAR. My take on auto racing... the race itself can be and typically is boring except for the aforementioned crashes or exciting passes, but it's a lot more interesting to me if you put the time into knowing more about the drivers and teams, strategy, styles and the like...

    323 vs 320is

    A friend had two E21 323i's years ago that I had the pleasure of driving for an extended time. I think one was a '79 and the other an '82. An E21 320i can barely get out of its own way but those 323i's M20's were fast. Smooth quick high revving motors. The 79 was faster for some reason but...

    Senna - Netflix Mini Series

    I was also watching it live. It was one of those moments when you're by yourself talking out loud.. "THAT was a bad hit" and you kinda knew. Same with Greg Moore's crash. I'm thinking... I just saw someone die. Fortunately those occurrences are rare these days.

    jaguar intrigue

    True, and I know it has a lot to do with cost, but why use an old marquee for "new" generation electric and "hip" cars? Toyota used Scion to market a brand directed at a younger crowd giving them more options down the road. Jaguar has given up on their history and brand admitting it's...

    jaguar intrigue

    At a time in the past I had to choose between keeping a '72 3.0cs that was in really good condition and a '69 E-type roadster that needed some body and paint work but was a good car. I kept the coupe and don't have any regrets. That was coupe number three and I'm now on number five. The...

    A coworker restores all things minibike and scooter. The JDM market is insane.

    jaguar intrigue

    So in an advertising sense, they're getting global attention overnight. Good or bad, it's working. Jaguar has never been normal. Just my opinion of course.

    Just try to remember... we're talking about opinions here on a subject that may never come up again, so try to put that into perspective. This thread will pass. Don't let it ruin your day or affect how you interact with someone on the forum for years to come. Dan

    No way that's Inka. It definitely has metallic in it, or really bad photos.

    Painted seats and door cards to match

    A friend that has been doing leather upholstery for years told me to clean/scrub the leather with something mild like Woolite, then go over it with rubbing alcohol before using dye. I've done seats by hand with a small rag, taking four to five coats to get it uniform, or using a rag or small...

    Very nice. I've died several seats and door cards over the years with good results. It's all about prep. Dan

    rough idle

    My thinking... I've had issues with Petronix in the past (check the pick up on the shaft) Vacuum leak - smoke test Is the problem only at idle? What does it do at a steady 2500rpm?
