The 'look at what I did today' thread

I did learn to use Google.

About £48k.

I was trying to open up the conversation, show that I was interested

And also Simon's likely to expand on whether that's the going rate on a decent example of similar mileage or not

Or in @simonc's case, about 160 ashtrays.

, as way of cheering myself up, post-NSX disappointment, I popped over to the flea-market (which is in the same district), and snaffled six more beauties to add to the collection.

Yes guys, Donald is right on the money. As I was aware of the work that would have to be done on the car, @NafemanNathan I asked him right out, "what's your best-best price?". He came back with RM250,000.00 which is near as dammit GBP44,000.00.
I did a bit of digging around on some sites yesterda,y and found out this steering problem is not exactly a one-off. It's a pretty expensive fix, if you can find the parts, and is rather a complex faff to get it back to what it should be. I just can't risk it having being burnt previously with the Prelude, I don't want to go through all that again.

That's NOT cheap for a ropey NSX.

There was me thinking... If it's peanuts, I'd ask simon to buy it, ship it over here, fix it up and sell it on

Not actually today (a couple of weekends ago, tbf) but...
Possibly the most unusual thing I have ever had to hoick into a bin at the rubbish dump;

Was very sad, actually

A Citroen DS?

Anything automotive with that much wood in it, is more likely to be English, than French!
