Crumbs, if I had somewhere to stick that I'd be on the train.

I still can't believe what this cost me, but every time I opened the boot I knew it was missing and I was faced with just a sea of BMW grey......so;.....

....I'm now going off to have a bloomin' good talk with myself It is at least genuine and in really good nick to be fair....

I actually drove it yesterday! It was even sunny & warm! :D Some fresh 99 in the tank and an easy first 1/2 hour or so to bring all the temps up and ensure everything was working after 7 months hiding in the garage. Some country roads out towards Montrose and around back to Forfar and back here. Aft...

Morning Chaps! It's been a while for 388 to say the least. It genuinely feels like it hasn't stopped bloody raining up here since October and the salt spreading types do love their overtime too..... :roll: After removing the fuel pump fuse first, 388 fired up first time and was brought out into the ...

Well that's 388 sorn'd for the winter. It hardly moved during October due to the weather (you'd think I'd have learned by now... :x ) but that's it tucked away before any salt goes down. Big thanks to the Forum on the ULEZ guide, I received my certificate from Alpina last week and even the miserable...

Small world chap! RAF Wyton was my first posting mid '89 so spent a few years around that area. Only returned 30 years later to collect the touring :wink: Used to enjoy a pint or 3 at the 3 Pigs in Houghton during the summer nights. Incredible that a main dealer sold a write off e30 back in the day ...

Sad news indeed. Condolences to the whole family.

A9 just behind the trees. When I returned there were 2 motorhomes next to me but they parked as badly as I did and left huge gap away from the B10 just the way I like it!

Applied for a CoC from BMW a few weeks back which they provide for free! :D Once it arrived I contacted the clean air communists in Scotland ( :lol: ) and to be fair, within 2 hrs they had updated their system and the 22 yr old can again travel anywhere freely for the time being anyway. Unfortunatel...

A project and a half Simon. Glad it's gone somewhere you are happy with.

Cheers

Cheers Paul, yes Alpina garaged over winter, the poor touring will have to live outside but will be off the road for most of the salty stuff hopefully. Well, happy 25th birthday to No.388. Took it up to Pitlochry & Bruar on Thursday where of course it absolutely chucked it down all day......It was o...

I don't normally bother re-taxing for October, but it's so mild (there, I've said it..... :doh ) that it seemed rude not to before they start throwing salt for fun. Both have been rolling projects but are now pretty much where I want them to be. Not cheap to do, but very satisfying (apologies for th...

It does look good when its dirty Ed!

I'll need to check out Skidz too.

Cheers

Great stuff Peter, would like to manage this one day too.

Cheers
