interesting car

Spoke to Brian the other week regarding part for his car
Don't think he's done a great deal since last post but no doubt he will update soon and think he's coming to the rally day at Combe in september

After seeing both cars " J2 and J3 NME" Both owned by Abi. J2 was sold to Brian Barlow and seeing J3 NME at NORTH WEST STAGES 2015 all I can say is that Bardy's car has got to be the most ultimate EX WORKS GTI-R! After reading comments of Brian's J2 NME he has done nothing apart from putting a spot lamp bar on the car. Everything was done by Abi Mahmood! Abi was planning to keep the car but after a intensive inspection on J2 NME it was revealed that the shell has had a " hard life" that it why he sold the car, but I can not justify how Mr Barlow has put it on the market for offer over 90k when he bought it for half of that price after speaking to one of Abi Mahmood's close friend. Mr Mahmood's new car is J3 NME that he has bought from Tony Bardy it has confirmed that J3 NME is a proper EX WORKS FACTORY CAR, which was hired out to a privates with fully works backing and was sponsored by ' PEPSI ' when the car came back of hire to NME it was stripped down to bare shell, ready to be fully rebuilt. At that time TONY BARDY who had a very close connection with NME was given the opportunity to purchase the car as it was and Tony Bardy bought the whole package ( shell with all factory parts) nothing was a copy part and all EX WORKS! Further on the topic of J3 NME, ABI MAHMOOD's close Friend also confirmed that J3 NME Is a Ultimate car to drive! & can only thank TONY BARDY for Letting Abi Mahmood Purchase the car as he has had ALL THE EX WORKS NISSAN's IN THE PAST!

Welcome to the forum jack .... nice rant .... a car is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it .... so if someone buys it i guess they think its worth the asking price ....

A knowledgeable rant is always worth a read.Especially when its about a works car ;-)

i thought tony bardys car had been re-shelled not too long before it had was sold

Wasnt it rolled in the mull rally 2013?

Yes and damaged the year after too I think

Yes I remember, I have seen the on board to that in 2013 where Mr Tony Bardy had put the car into the ditch! And it was all COSMETIC DAMAGE, e.g panels. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN RE-SHELLED! It's all in its original shell, ALL STRAIGHT AND MINT.

Sorry, it was 2012! Not 2013

That long ago. Shit doesn't time fly...

How big was the ditch lol

Hi all, I guess everyone is working on their cars or partying for Christmas only got back last night from Belgium after a long 3 weeks helping my mates on there Rally Cars. Just a quick update on some News from Belgium, news was floating around with a few Nissan mechanics with reference to J2 and J3 NME, further on this threat; it was NOT J3 NME that rolled it was actually J2 NME that is owned by Brian Barlow who rolled it in Belgium Earlier this year, and the car was in a mess! Needs a roof and various other panels.

Is that this one?

Hi mate, no that is NOT the one. Look on Page 2 of this topic and there is 3 pictures of J2 NME or ask Brian Barlow to upload some pics of the mess he has made of J2 NME

Okay
I couldnt think of another one crashing this year lol
I will have a look back through this thread.

Not many people no, about the big off. I'm sure Brian Barlow should give us ALL a update

So both the j2 and j3 have been in accidents then .... i would never have enough money to buy either anyway .... what rallys were they then jack ...

J2 NME- HEAVY ACCIDENT
J3- LIGHT

spoke to Abi today regarding other business stuff and got onto subject of these cars.
Yes he was the owner formerly of Bardys car and Brian Barlows cars

I know exactly what happened to both cars the weekend after, and I know who owns them now but lets be fair about this...............Its hardly fair to discuss what has happened to either of these cars on a public forum as none of our business and really should not concern us.

All I will say is that both cars are still very much alive and you may well see them next year at a certain show we have been invited to

Show me a 20 year old rally car that not been in a heavy accident lol .
Makes little difference if repaired correctly. Plenty of proper bent wrc grpA cars got repaired & sold to private teams for serious money. that's the life of a rally car & just how it works, i'm just pleased see the nme cars alive & in one piece ...

   Could not of said it better

Could we some pictures of J2 NME recent damage?

Why have you got some ???

No, it was directed to Mr B.

What of rally cars being crashed and repaired ????
