Re: Santa Pod Midlands Convoy - Sunday
Your keen Jim, not sure my body thinks 7am exists on a sunday
Especially as that means me getting up at 05:30, which just aint gonna happen, i was thinking about leaving mine at about 8, so as to get to the pod at a far more civilised time so will give you a bell when i get there.

Re: Weekend at Jimmy's - 19th/20th May 2012
I'm going to be there rain or shine, as the misses will only want me to be working on the house otherwise. Nothing better than a cold damp field when there is DIY to be done! I will bring a canoe just in case.

Re: ive got 2 e30's now
I owned this car about 5 years ago, it started my love of E30's! It has changed a bit mind over the years. No leather or black kidney when I had it. So glad to see its still on the road

Re: Fog light Bulb replacement
Nice one mb15 I see what you mean that makes more sense, will try and prise them out if it is still light when I get home later, seems a bit archaic even by Tech 1 standards having to ease them out by bending the kit
