Re: B5 deposit taken

I did see the price drop too, that made me a little suspicious as I don't think it would have hung around for long at £55.

Re: F10 / F11 Front Control Arms

Nice job Marc.

It amazes me why BMW have to put such a huge mark up on these parts!

Grange Road, Cheddleton

I was approaching to turn into and saw a familiar 4 tailpipes on a grey Alpina, non-touring pulling away down towards Leek.

Sorry didn't get a good enough look to even tell the series!

Nice I love it up there, we discovered during Covid staycations and have rented the same gaff in Gunnerside for the last 3 years.
