I told you I’d be back

Post by bigwinn » Fri Apr 16, 2021 8:04 am

Crikey didn't realise the stubby was so contentious!

The Mrs is fuming as she just got a new car which needs attention (Volvo XC60- don't get me started) and my Z4 3.0 search was 'a long way down the list of priorities'

I couldn't let this pass by; the optional extras list is bonkers!

Going to get the obligatory deep clean today- its traditional right?

A fine example of why priority lists should always be short. Then nothing can be a long way down one. :wink:
Enjoy your cleaning day.

That's exactly the same as my Zed, another wood owner :thumbsup: .
I have fitted M sports seats which are more comfy and supportive.

Not too bad cheers.
Wifey's 2.5i had new brake calipers and now doesn't need a rev to get it off the drive! Went through the MOT with narry an advisory. In fact only today she was out topless in it again...................I need to have a word!
My E89 is not getting quite so many miles on it but is lined up for a few blasts to the coast as soon as the missus gets hers out of the way!!!
