Drive to work - Glencoe

Post Wed Mar 16, 2011 8:03 pm

My drive to work today - up to Glencoe. My first drive in my new Touring. I have the SE skirts and IS lip to put back on. They were off to get it undersealed.

Just after the sun got up

Pulled in as camera on the steering wheel is a bit daft!!

Off the main road to 6 miles of this!!!! Its called Glen Etive.

A tad dirty - was clean when I left the house at 6am!!

On the way home

Was a good drive - hard to enjoy the scenery when the roads are so good! Zone Roam should try to get up to Glencoe. I'm up once a week and every time it is different!!

Do you want me to stop at the "I've been to Glencoe" t shirt shop next week and get you one?

I've some red back lights to put on the car. The se shirts and is lip are black, not sure if color coded would look better?

The plan was to put the snow tires (on 14"bbs) on for the journey up north. Got the car back from the garage Tuesday evening when to take the Azev off only to find the wheel bolts on the front are a bit too long for bbs so decided to leave the 14" on the rears as at that stage I had been on my driveway for 2 hours in the dark and the rain!!!

I have a newly refurbished set of MIMs I am hoping will fit behind the rear arches - didn't fit the bronzit without rubbing hopefully will be ok on this bus!! http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... light=mims

This car was originally black but someone spent a fortune on it to change the colour, really well painted.

It does look BMW did some calypso tourings - Adit found this one, scroll down to near the bottom of the page.

They should look good, although I think the Azev looks good, too.

I like the Azev as well but need some new tyres and I have the MIMs with good tyres on them just sitting there so fingers crossed.

I had the 15bbs on it for a while when the snow tyres were on the bronzit and I must say it looks good on them, but they are on the bronzit and the new owner is coming to collect it on Saturday so no more 15" bbs!!
