If you're traveling by train, buy some fucking headphones. I don't want to listen to your shitty music, hear a crappy American comedy, or listen to a conversation with your significant other who's a bigger twat than you.

@joehallenbeck.bsky.social spotted at NEC yesterday for you
Took few pics at NEC yesterday and most of what I would have done has been posted by others already.
Except these. Probably my “take home” cars.
I do love a ‘less obvious’ 60s muscle car
‘66 Pontiac Le Mans
Fiat 124 coupe( has to be the BC spec car) one of their prettiest ever

You can get a full-week Monday-Sunday ticket, camping pitch, and train travel to and from London for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for less than the price of a parking permit at the British Grand Prix
Silverstone, I love you. But I cannot justify paying £420 for car parking for the F1 next year across the weekend.
This year, car parking for the 4 days was £170, so a 147% increase year-on-year.
It's extortionate, and it's the first time I've really felt that.

We are fortunate to have a large pond in our garden. About 0.1 of an acre
Doesn’t sound much but it’s about 650,000 litres of water at its usual depth
This summer it has all gone

Just back from wheel alignment in Newark and the first proper drive in the 325i after replacing shocks, springs, anti-roll bar links/bushes and key suspension arms
Transformed. The Bilstein B6 set up is a marvellous rise/ handling compromise

Now for the nice part of the E90 325i front suspension refresh. Shiny stuff!!
My mate Adam has a proper hydraulic spring compressor so swiftly to his this a.m. and now struts are assembled. OSF in place with new arms too
A good dose of Alphalan from @BulldogBDX applied
