Trying to find a Citroën AX GT for a magazine shoot in Yorkshire next week. Anyone know an owner who might be interested?

Great to catch up with two fellow members of the Midland Group of Motoring Writers today, Syd Taylor and Paul Hadley, at the bike/car themed The Danery near Bridgnorth. Much car talk and some good ideas hatched for future Midland Group activities.

Subaru exhaust is shot, needs a full system from manifolds back. Good news – they're still available from Subaru. Bad news – six-week special order from Japan. Worse news – £5500+VAT. (Not a typo.) Anyone have any experience of custom builds?

BMW M535i E12. Had it 20 years ago when it was 20 years old and loved every minute.
