Too late , masterbates picked it up yesterday it even has some tax, quite a novelty on the screen of an e28!

Master Bates? I knew him when he was a fresh young boy. Mmmm, yummy.

Said 525e is currently resting in the expense-free vehicle bay in my constituency and I have been driving this fine steed. Indeed, Geeman came to my mansion last night whilst My Man feched him a set of flat face E32 alloys in exchange for a marine blue front E28 seat.
The free E28 drove all the way to my lock up last night, and back again this afternoon.

I want Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200 for the engine - runs nice but wise counsel suggests the head is goosed.

Tootlepips peasants.

Your not really are Sir are you my man?
Presumibly for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£200 they get the engine delivered on a velvet cusion, by your afore mentioned valet?

Post Tue Feb 07, 2006 8:06 pm

Not quite. But you will get the short engine delivered in a small box trailer hitched to the back of my '68 Rolls Shadow 1 at 40p per mile from M1 J29

Why, is your chauffeur having his day off?
I didn't think they did a towbar for the Shadow 1.

Coleman Milne are you perchance related to the 'Minister' who married Crouch?, the Reverand Coleman Milne . I believe the service was held up the north and the bridal chariot was non other than a CM Dorchestor with a NI index (very proper !)

My god that made me laugh.
Bourgois to the poletariat anyone??

Post Tue Feb 07, 2006 10:40 pm

Bourgeois? How very dare you Sir!!

I'll have you know that I come from a distiguished line of Coleman Milnes, the first of whom was Sir Coleman Milne-Warwick who colonised Montego Bay. In the winter the water was most bracing don't you know.

Yes, One had Messrs Witter & Co handmake a draw bar for the Shad from the finest angle iron. So there!!

That'll come in handy for beating the bourgois when you are against the wall!!
They don't like the cold steel.

It must be very dissappointing for you that they named an Austin after your beloved bay.

I don't think he was that bothered old man. After all, he was an absolute Maestro when it came to bribing the locals. Educated at Cambridge he had a hand in building the Metro line in Paris as well as construction consultation on the A40 before returning to Blighty. He spent many years in Westminster, with his Devon/Somerset constituency rising from 1100 to 1800.

I did indeed visit the manor house that is No.14 the other evening. A most pleasant cup o' tea was supp'd in the rear reception room whilst swapping war stories...

To be honest, in the dark, this free Eta didn't seem too bad. It had lovely shiney chrome (which I could do with some to replace my 'missing' parts)... even had a set of alloys on her. But the indications were there that the head was indeed goosed as the good ColemanMilne quite rightly said.

E32 flat face alloys are awaiting a clean. A good swap if ever I did one.

Somebody lock this post, hurry now...

Your Lordship, did you marry a Princess? Aaaargh, too late...

I heard he was an Ambassador for the SD1 area of Greater London too... Was knocking off some bird called Allegro or something...

Post Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:00 pm

Allegra actually - I met her at the Ambassador's reception when the Ferrero Rochets were being served up.

Giles - you are a splendid fellow, but when in distinguished company and drinking from finest Royal Doulton mugs, it is customary to crook one's finger. Whatever next - tea with biscuits?

Reminds me of when I farted a few seconds before being Knighted by Her Majesty. That fucking Corgi gave me a dirty look don't you know?

Don't forget the best two legal remoulds off the E32 rims, the Shadow 1 is nearing it's MOT time..........

Post Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:06 pm

BTW, I've been using the 525e yesterday and today - done about 60-70 miles in it. As long as you check the coolant level at the end of every trip it seems okay. Never overheats or farts about. But, when the tax runs out it's going to be fragged; 2.7 short motor, Eta auto box and diff, front wings and bonnet, cluster, front struts (rot free), front and rear lights, grilles and any useable bits of chrome.
If you have the patience, E28's can break quite well. I can see Ãƒ”šÃ‚£3-400 worth in this car already.

Of corse when reffering to Liz's dogs you mean a Dowgie? They are a Corgi Dachund cross.
