After 5 months and 7500 miles, the Scaaaaaab has passed away

Its eating coolant at the rate of 1 Litre a day (covering 50 miles) plus it has a blow in the exhaust (at a flexi Joint)

Couple that to the tax running out, and we had a dilemma on our hands

the problem was solved with this..

a 1995 BMW e36 318iS (16v 140bhp) with MOT til Nov

So far its had a new radiator and new front brakes, but otherwise seems grand.

Any ideas for Aero? I think I'll be keeping it a bit longer than the Scaab- ainming for 250 miles to 23.64 L this week.
