I drive a 316, that was 90 bhp from the factory... back in 1987!!

Think I'd be lucky to see half that number now! Plus we're running on a tight schedule! So I'll be right at the back of the pack :lol:

Not speeding lads, as you know, because of the last few days, accident and all.

You know it makes sense atm :cool:

Isn't that near enough standard around the windows across the range? Or is that a daft assumption ( I actually honestly don't know! )

Broke my splitter today :cry:

Rust all over the boot (then treated with rust proofing primer and then rubbed down so now grey patches with scratches)

Scratch marks all over the car (haven't had time for getting them filled in)


Somehow with my car on the stand we don't stand a chance for the show & shine entry as a club stand... and I wont even bother with a personal entry :cry: :cry: :cry:
