Coffee cup on the car Jim :shock:

I must admit it was a first for me Barry, but at no time was an Alpina harmed in any way when taking that picture. The cup is sitting on an Alpina coaster. :lol:

I was in my garage with a bit of time on my hands and a fresh cup of coffee of course. Maybe that is what early retirement does to you? :?

Good to see you're sticking to genuine Alpina hardware throughout Jim.

When you say Alpina coaster are you talking about the small white thing or the big blue thing :)

One of each Barry, and in the right order. :)

How are you getting on with fitting your tyre pressure sensors? My daily driver picked up a nail and brought up an alarm due to slow pressure loss so I now see the system as a really useful extra.

I know what you mean Geoff, I definitely have a lot more time for drinking coffee now and find I take longer to do jobs than when I was at work as there is no real hurry.

One thing I really like is being able to work late on projects on a Sunday night if I want to without having work hanging over me on the Monday morning.

Out of interest, does your daughter still live at Whiteley? Probably not I guess as it was many moons ago that you kindly left some 3.2 info for me there.

Hoping to strip the dash this weekend to replace the blower motor and think I have all the parts to retrofit RDC as well but I figure things might run into a second weekend......some of us are still working :(

I had a mug exactly like that, sadly I put it down on a mildly sloping surface and the wind got it, so no more mug. I've never found another.
