Unusual number of Z4 'people' that are 53 today

Post by BeeEmm » Sun Jan 01, 2023 12:20 pm

Looking at the birthdays at the bottom of the Forum page, there is a large number of people who are 53 today. Seems unusual to me for a car forum to have so many born on the 1 January 1970. I haven't checked them all, but those that I have checked are 'Newbies'.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

My wife’s birthday is today which makes it very easy to remember.

Spent last night watching all the fireworks in Dubai which I am trying to convince her was all arranged by me for her birthday.

Indeed. 1/1/1970
Coincidentally the date you got your first new car, isn't it? :lol:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

E89 20i Now fully dried

I spent most of last night listening to the fireworks from all the 'locals'.
Started at 10pm (midnight in some eastern european Countries presumably)
Then 10.30pm (no idea on that one. Must have lit the fuses with their fags while trying to read the instructions, or just can't tell the fecking time)
Then 11pm (midnight in other European Countries)
Then a handful at 12pm.

I love living in a multi-cultural town (sarcasm BTW)! My poor dog hates it! :x
