Ditched the run flats 
Also picked up a set of mv3’s which I had powder coated in *cough* Audi :? German silver over a black base which has turned out an almost exact match to the roll bar colour. Happy coincidence.
Now running a set of Falken ZE310’s and the difference between these and the continental run flats is unreal, I know guys on here have said it make a difference ditching the run flats but I can’t get over how much of a difference, it’s like a different car.

Changed the front and rear brake pads on my E85.
They were still the originals, but as the car has only done 5800 miles they hadn't worn much! The fronts were OK, but as you can see the rears have disintegrated badly:
:-o
Anyway, I've now fitted new EBC Red Stuff pads - so I'm looking forward to bedding these in over Easter

Decided at lunch break to head back to work in the Zed. I 'may' have been half hour 'over' the allotted hour due to having fun. The car ran perfectly , considering other than a couple of driveway starts after tinkering, hasn't been on the road since beginning of November. Lucky the boss was out today and due to covid, most of the business estate was also , giving ample parking
Taxed it £330
Pumped the tyres up
Had the 4,000rpm rev limiter in the passenger seat but it was not working, she was pulling some funny faces at times, although the 7,500rpm or what ever the M one is set to, one did.
So thats last year fuel used up some fresh in tomorrow.
It is still a special drive though.

I thought the 5800 was a typo and meant to be 58000
Drove down the road to take car for an mot. Front calliper binding

They are good, I think the projector units need a clean though, something I may look into soon, another option is Bi LED units from Morimoto, but I will try a projector clean first and see what happens at MOT time!
Finally installed the GruppeM. Still no customs letter/invoice
