This is a question Cars

"Here in my car", said 80s pop hero Gary Numan, "I feel safest of all". He obviously never shared the same stretch of road as me, then. Automotive tales of mirth and woe, please.

Correct
But the internals are modfied Cavalier parts, for example the thermostat is exactly like the Cavalier's, except the outlet for the pipes are in a different arrangement, just enough so you can't use the Cavalier part (I tried).

Actually, they were all very good, all of them got passed onto various family members, and were surprisingly comfortable with quite a lot of poke in them. The LPG that caught alight was due to the idiot who bought it off me, rather than the car itself.

And yes, I am well aware the 318 was a crappy rep's car prone to overheating, coil problems and a thousand and one other things. Still, the rear wheel drive gives a very smooth ride, she happily does 35mpg on petrol which is not bad for an old heap (more like 60-65 on LPG). I also like that it has a camchain rather than a belt.

Chains alright, but still, that was the dullest 3-series ever
I'm rebuilding an E30 at the moment
