Removed the now empty milk bottle that my dearly beloved missus
had left in the rear passenger foot well of the touring since Xmas Eve :x :x :x

She will be cleaning the resulting stench until I am pleased with the result.
I imagine this will take care of most of January.

Insist that this is carried whilst wearing a mini skirt and crotchless knickers.
May help to prevent a re-occurance! winkeye

I found my e30 car key, been looking for that sucker for the last few days. It was in the boot of the e30 don't know how it ended up there

Luckily i found them as i dont have a spare set and i had ordered a blank from cotsworld just a few days ago when i began looking for them.

After that under bonnet jizzfest, there was no way that cooont or any other S14 was going to start ! Luckily :( I left the SUPER FOOOKING NOT QUITE FOOOKING MINT telescopic S14 plug tool in the kit. I'm getting soft in my old age.

I went to the garage, lifted the dust sheet & contemplated selling it. Been SORN for so long now, but finding myself emotionally attached as some good memories . I just can't justify £500 / year tax & insurance for the two weeks a year it doesn't rain.

I have a e39 530i touring as the daily drive, but that is for practicality rather than fun.

She fired on the button Pete and made the usual rattle :D

I employed Falky's Peadoing skillzz , he turned up with his bag of microfibre cloths 2 buckets and an Autoglym sponge/Jif/Mr sheen but the cooont cleaned his own car instead :(

Looked at it in the garage, and wondered if there's any life in the battery........... And then thought about my other E30 - garaged up 15 miles away, and wondered if it's still there or been stolen. I must have a look tomorrow..........

I still can't get to grips with the story behind this car. I understand it belonged to Eko30 at some stage and got sold on to Topless? Now it's been moved onto Tomislav?

What's wrong with it - it looks very nice. Just getting some info, as I would like to own one in the not to distant future.. :D

Hang on, which car do you think i own?

If ya thinking of the v8, its not that one, i pulled the panels of the v8 to uncover a shit load of rot so getting bits for that 2moro.

The one i'm swearing at is the 318is converted to 325, stripped out, half cage etc etc. Cut out xmas eve, fine xmas day, parked it up 3 days ago, now non start. Thought it was the crank sensor, replaced, still no joy. No spark, plus whoever wired the new engine in has proper lashed it up. Hence the swearing.
