Wow, never come across this channel. That's epic footage/editing.

Owned a 2.5i for nearly four years, change of cars looming meant it was likely to be my main car (albeit I work from home). Decided the replacement for it was a 3.0si and happily one popped up on the forum a couple of days later. (Spent a month's redundancy pay on it, started my next job a month...

Spotted a (San Francisco?) Red M40i heading through Vienna this afternoon, looked like a fun way to get around the city

I didn't immediately hate it, although I thought it was a lot smaller until I saw videos from Marques/Shmee stood next to it. Does have hints of other marques about it which is probably a bit bland from Ferrari, but then the Porsche Cayenne wasn't that standout a vehicle design wise when it...

Having met them both, they are not the same person 🙃 They are both cool people though.

Very tastefully modified E85 outside a shop in Cheadle yesterday, silver with red calipers and a (small) black spoiler. Didn't look like the OEM aero spoiler, but fitted the lines really nicely.

Blue E89 waiting to turn onto the A51 by the Swan with Two Necks yesterday, exchanged waves. Nice angel eyes in your headlights.

Spotted a white G29 in Disley on Sunday morning, headed off towards New Mills.

Wow, never seen this as an option before. Looks so much better than the usual brushed aluminium, if only because it hides the usual scratches.

Hadn't come across this one, thanks for posting about it. Yet another preventative thing to check/replace

I've not upgraded to after market speakers, but adding the door speakers to both my zeds with 6 speaker setup made a huge difference. Mid-level being fired into the cabin near your torso makes a huge difference, rather than having to travel around the seat from behind or up from the footwell...

Black 60 plate heading out of Peebles this afternoon, didn't get close enough to spy which model

Looked at the front tyres last weekend and decided they were bald enough to replace, especially as the new ones were sat in the shed thanks to @flybobbie selling me a set earlier in the year. Turns out two front tyres fit in the passenger seat quite happily. All ready for a run this weekend now.

I've had various sets over the years, the ones that work well are a Worx set like Allen keys I picked up a couple of years ago, and the socket bits in my Halfords Professional Socket Set kit (although I did break a T25 in that set trying to undo something totally rusted solid.) I'd recommend...

or head the wrong way into the Peak District for a few hours "on the way home" and get absolutely **drenched** in torrential rain (roof down, naturally) before finding a properly local pub with amazing food for dinner :rofl:
