  1. On of my friends has taken it upon himself to police what people are posting on social media. I can understand certain subjects shouldn’t be entertained lightly on social media, but a video of parrots and budgies talking and acting like idiots for my brother to watch with his kids? I think he needs to stop smoking the wacky baccy.
  2. I can certainly think of worse things to be left on your driveway. What a lovely old beast
  3. Mini is back in the world of the living, fitting the new alternator was a sod but the belt was relatively easy. See communal Bini thread on moderns if you are desperate to see a smol diesel start up.
  4. Alternator arrived at 18:30ish, halfway through dinner. With ‘by midday’ sticker clearly visible. No apology from UPS driver on the delay. Hopefully tomorrow madam can have her car back.
  5. Alternator was supposed to be with me by midday. It’s just coming up to 2pm and I have other errands which need running. According to UPS it is still at the Southampton depot, but I bet my bottom dollar as soon as I go outside the brown delivery van leaves an out card for me.
  6. The only car we said we'd never sell was the Corolla, which shat it's oil pump system last summer. We scrapped it for decent coin but had time and circumstances been better we'd probably have done a full resto on it. Regretted selling a couple of cars, but there aren't really any others I wanted to keep forever. I'll quite happily keep Saab version 2.0 until no longer viable to keep running, it shits itself spectacularly or is written off.
  7. I'm still a maybe at the moment. I work on Saturdays and arranging cover can be a nightmare (we run trade waste services 6 days a week). If I can come along it will be sans wife and saturday from late afternoon returning Sunday with car.
  8. Some great updates there sir, hopefully you'll have Katie back on the road in no time.
  9. Sadly I have neither the room nor equipment to do that. Bigger garage or a dolly on which to drop/crane to hoik out the engine and yes I would.
  10. All of the BROWN. Haven’t seen a Z3 in the wild for a while now.
  11. Whoever decided that this thing has to live in here was a massive cow’s fanny.
  12. Balls. That’ll be a new alternator needed.
  13. Citroën is French for ‘uncomplicated’
