I stand corrected.

My mate's dad used to have one and he told me it was the world's first. Maybe first euro fiberglass car? Who knows. They're still kinda cool.

The Glasspar G2 was in the same situation as the Wildfire. I was ready to argue that Glasspar made only boat hulls, but they apparently built a car called the Glasspar in 1949. Both had a few units made but then the rest of the cars were kits. Yes, some were produced, but they were not produced like the Corvette was, though they say that the body for the Wildfire was of a higher quality than the 'Vettes! You learn something new everyday...

the only cool thing about having a slammed car is to have other people say its cool. Other than that, they aren't really rewarding. If this was 'I am Legend', you wouldn't find me in any of those

yeah, but I think it looks cool and I want one I'd slam the ti but I do enjoy not having holes in the oil pan from the frost heaves and potholes in the roads

Aabsolutely loving the pics on this thread.
Can you post some of the interiors if you have done something cool with that as well?

I have just bought my car some customised cheap car mats to finish off the look and it looks ace.

I think that the 1 series will be the next BMW cult cars, the de-contented ones, at least. After the E36's, BMW's got too heavy, too electronic, too focused on creature comforts, and too complicated for DIY guys to work on. BMW could make another ti like car, but they won't because there would not be enough profit margin in it, and the public probably wouldn't buy it anyway (sound familiar?).
