Put it in at 8 this morning for the yearly dreaded.
Just heard the drive alarm 'bong', and there's my baby sat there in the sun (handy when the garage is 4 doors up the road) with a fresh years ticket and no advisories, delivered to to door :yeah:

And before the tossers start, they didn't mention the woodworm... apart from a little dust on the carpets :poke: :P
Oh and I covered less than 2K in the last year, but then she is my toy :)

I must admit, in my endless trawling of used z4 ‘s recently, I did see one with a wood type dash, and immediately thought of you😀

Always a dreaded moment......try doing it with 3 cars all one after the other. I really need to spilt them up! As I like you do very little millage, I always give them a once over before they go in. If I know there is anything needing attention, I deal with it beforehand....unless it’s a slightly arsey job on the Tangie, then I supply parts and let my mate sort it during the MOT :lol:

Always a happy moment when a clear ticket comes back with you p & j. Especially as the dash didn't catch fire. :wink:
