Darn. Should have watched today's episode before saying that.
Jeremy's CL already had a failed ignition coil, which apparently costs £878, or 
$1400. Hammond has had an entire week of trouble free commuting in the 850i.

Did anybody catch last week's Top Gear?
Jeremy bought a 9 year old CL600 for 7000 quid, with 120k on the odo.
Richard bought a much older 850i for the same money, and they're going 
to run them a while and see if anything expensive goes wrong. I feel 
sorry for Hammond.

What's worse was Jeremy is in UK, and with VAT it was more like £1200, or $1920.

From Rusty's site it appears the coils come in right and left cassettes, so 
apparently Jeremy paid 200 quid each for a sixpack of coils.


When I select a right or left coil set, Rusty's web engine has a buffer overrun 
from the large price, and then kicks me back to the 'engine electrical' page.


I tried another supplier, and their cheap coil packs, from Standard Motor 
Products and Airtex, ranged from $1030 to $1229, plus shipping. Wow, I wouldn't 
want a V12.

Which is why, when James put up a picture of Richard's 850 in the staff parking 
lot and asked where Jeremy's car was, Jeremy said 'someplace warm and dry'. He 
obviously called a lorry to haul it off to the shop.

Re: [MBZ] Top Gear - who is The Stig, and why is he driving in the ocean?

2008-03-17 Thread E M
Friend of mine has one which he's restored and now rallies.  There was a
company over in England, I think it was called Heritage Motors, and the
bought up the old tooling for a number of cars like MG's, Midgets etc.  You
could buy a panel, or a complete body, and you just had to trim it our and
add the mechanical bits from a donor car.  The saved a lot of cars from
going to the crusher, and if you had serious tin worm, it was probably a lot
cheaper way to go too.  Not sure if they offered a Frogeye, but seems they
were adding new models every few years for awhile.

 Love the bug-eyed Sprite one! Wonder where they found one that wasn't
 all rusted out?

  How about this one? Frogeye Sprite vs a tuner car with 2000lb of
 speakers
  and televisions in it:

Good to know. I thought they were only doing MGBs. When I read an article
about them 15 years ago, the B body probably was their only product. I
think it was $4500 or so at the time for a complete shell with doors, 
boot, bonnet.
