  • The BMW M1 was always a dream car that seemed unattainable. The race car version be that group 5 or procar seemed an even less likely proposition. I came extremely close to building a dream...

    Not the typical format but should I occasionally share some stories inbetween content?

    Adam, you're a kind guy.....
    Listed by mistake, my a$$! They found someone who was able to offer more than the auction, it's that simple. But don't worry, a pure car enthusiast still a car enthusiast, building an M1, an E30 or a Renault 4L. And you're a true one.

      Totally agree! Real ones show and it’s often easy to tell when people buy cars for attention or as a symbol of wealth etc but true enthusiasts buy what they love

      Thanks I appreciate that I have always loved cars and just want to enjoy them and do what I like and not what people perceive as cool or in trend

      Yeah it’s a bit of an odd one and it would’ve been mad if it worked out! Was worth a shot

      Thanks yeah it’s pretty cool hopefully when the car is built we could do something with it because I’m putting my all into it

    It would have been a sick whip, but something else bad might have happened if you did get it.
    Everything happens for a reason, unless its random, or an accident or hasn't actually been proven that it's happened like living dinosaurs. I've only ever seen dead ones

    I think the real issue here is that crisp ironed tee shirt you have there.

    Casting aspersions here but I think they didn't get what they wanted for the shell and decided to invent a way to withdraw from the sale. Wouldn't be the first time, people do that with cheap items so why not something of this level.
    A shame really, could have been a build and a half

    • @thedownshiftchannel
      @thedownshiftchannel  3 роки тому

      Yeah I think that’s the case to be honest. Its a shame as the opportunity won’t come around again but it’s one of those things in life! I still have the 2002 build to do

    Very shady on part of the seller. As others have said though potentially dodged a bullet. Very cool car and you still have this story to go along with it too. Just thought, if they werent supposed to list it, how in-depth was the listing?

    • @thedownshiftchannel
      @thedownshiftchannel  3 роки тому

      Oh I’m certain it was supposed to be listed the add explained what it was and some of the race history etc and drivers.

  • @marilynosborne1741
    @marilynosborne1741 3 роки тому +1

    Definitely think you dodged a bullet and although you had a great plan in place things can usually cost you thrice what you plan. Shifty as tho on the part of the seller 🤬

    • @thedownshiftchannel
      @thedownshiftchannel  3 роки тому

      Yeah it woulda meant staying out there a bit longer I think… definitely wouldn’t have been cheap!
