Old BMWs. Idiot.
After a nice drive this weekend my profile picture E36 is tucked up for a while. The gritters signify the end of the driving year for it.

I think the good people of Caerphilly showed that in spite of the loud shouting and propaganda, many people just want a healthy society where there isn’t the want to blame ‘them’ for every problem we have.

Stena and DFDS being my usual favourite ferry operators, Bon voyage!

I’d like mine to be as corrosion free as yours I bet! I’d like it to go through another test fine, then we’ll see.

April ‘21 I did mine, still good as ever. Today is a rust protection day before the MOT in 6-8 weeks. 233k now and 20 on the 30th of August.

Not sure I’ve ever seen something look less suitable for its surroundings.

Decent walk! Good to see you yesterday. Sorry I missed you when leaving. Was looking out for gormless pedestrians.

It’s a shame, Kitch. I remember reading the thread on this and 90% of people wouldn’t have returned this to the road, I mean it had a running issue from new that dealer trained staff couldn’t get to the bottom of when it was a modern car. I’d take no notice, BX knowledge is hard to come by now.

The best F10/11 wheels, too. And no runflats. Win all round!

Hard not to be, agreed

The 125p with the bikes on is incredibly cool and I would love to take it home.

I replaced the valve cover on a friends 1 series with the N52 today. It was a very laborious, and sweaty job. They’re worth it though.

Just put a flag in front of the telly for the full Glasto effect. Then microwave a cider for a refreshing beverage!

Hello, Jim. Yes of course I can! There’s two small issues though.

1. I don’t have a Panda
2. I don’t have a roof tent.

We were on the road near Copenhagen yesterday and saw a Cummins powered RAM. A similar conversation ensued too, Jim.

Brilliant. Reminds me of Catalina Island just off of the LA coast. A couple of cars but a golf cart is needed to go past Avalon. Proper fun driving them about too!

The unintended benefit of a left hooker! 😂

Yay, ‘The Scream’ has been kept! That’s almost too nice to paint. But Zinnober will be just right for it.

A phrase that I utter more often than would like to…

Two and a bit weeks before we do the crossing. Then on to Norway. Can’t wait.

Great stuff on all accounts. I gave my 330i a spa day today. Oil service, microfilter, brake fluid, had a puncture repaired and gave a it a good wash. Good to go for a while longer!

An individual one. I think it’s ’deep green’. Also individual wheels. Nice car, but 21k is pricy (to me). Essen looks great though, love a continental car event.

😂 My Mrs films runs, no need for sleep!

Lovely. I love a German jaunt, and a good chance to see what vmax of a Z4 2.5si is!
March 30, 2025 at 12:48 PM
UK plate for French jaunts?
