Where are you?

Very special. Made it through another 12 months and only 2 more to retirement. Think I'll get SWMBO to intercept and wrap them for me. Better than a jumper. I've got two of those!

Just for info. Haven't used it much recently but needed a DIY run yesterday so had a fiddle with the radio en route. Switching off the RDS stops the jumping, switching it back on starts it again. No RDS for me then :)

Same here. 2 days before my birthday. Nice pressie for me then

Didn't need either but ordered 4 of each Thanks for the heads up, that's Christmas sorted although just what my 83 year old mum will do with a vernier calliper waits to be seen :D :ilz4f:

Mine does it on all the fm stations and the one am station I listen to, X3 is 2007 so too old to have USB. Has a 3.5 jack socket but the sound is really poor. CD is ok and that does not jump.

Anyone here get it? Back in the day I was a bit of a hifi snob. More recently been seduced by the convenience of MP3 and Bose docking station streaming gizmos. Visiting a friend recently he asked if I wanted a listen to his hifi. Blown away isn't in it! Not by volume but be detail...

Always said you can tell a persons character by how they respond in a crisis. Gladly there were lots who ran to help, but the young woman(?) with the bags ignored, watched then ran into the building. Seriously bad form in my book, hope she(?) never needs help to find others watching ignoring or...

I'll try In a conventional inline 4 of say 2.0 litres you will have four combustion chamber each with an effective capacity of 500cc. Each chamber produces one expansion stroke per revolution of the engine In a rotary with a 'triangular' rotor (piston) oscillating inside an approximately 8...

Couple of weeks ago a small rock hit my front windscreen in the daily 5 series. Left about a 15-20mm diameter bullseye just above the passenger windscreen wiper. Took it to a couple of repairers who all sucked their teeth and said it's too big and close to the edge of the screen. All said new...

My 1972 TR6 has theoretically got 150 bhp, 0-60 time of 8.2 seconds and does around 25 mpg. My 2012 520 d touring has 184 bhp, 0-60 time of 8.2 seconds and does around 50 mpg. Progress.

Maybe he'll get to share a taxi with the Home Secretary after the firms Xmas do! :fuelfire:
