Looking at your photos I think you might live very close to me. Is there a train station about quarter of mile from the end of your road if you turn right?

I’ve been exactly the same through the night. PS got your PM. I’ll get round to replying!

Very nice, bargain. A friend had a revised E46 318 that I drove a bit. I always found the steering heavy. I checked the fluid a few times and it was fine. I drove a similar age X3 a few months ago and it was a weightier than expected as well.

Funnily enough as I walked down from Falkirk there was another post 97 B in red with a matt black boot sitting outside farm foods. It made me consider that a Corsa B is a lesser spotted car now and seeing two in five minutes was notable.

I think I saw your old Corsa a couple of times this week at lunch. Once past the Helix and the other on Graham’s road. W*** LBL I think it was. Beardy fella driving it.

I spotted this at Calendar park today

I saw a scruffy Transit recovery wagon yesterday in traffic and was thinking about this. This thread is pretty much my train of thought. Modern cars now too heavy for these, especially electric cars. Questions and thoughts that came to mind: What real use are these smaller recovery vehicles now? Will they be worthless except for moving classics? Surely these are a bit safer for the inexperienced than towing a car on a trailer.

Are these still on? I’ve been meaning to show my face at one for a while. I’m also having a clear before moving house meaning I’ve a few useful things people might be interested in. My plan was to give them away and this would be a good opportunity if anyone wanted anything.

I drove past this before Xmas en route to an alpaca farm. I commented to my wife how much I loved it. I also enjoyed the Scottish edition of your book recently. I’m always tentatively waiting to see if you ever uncover an old photograph of the old petrol station in Laurieston near Falkirk. It was a Simca dealer in the sixties.

I haven’t been in a couple of years. I felt there was far too much ‘memorabilia’ squashed in around the cars. The cars were ok.

Ha ha, I don’t know whether to be surprised or not that it belongs to someone from AS.

Does your 205 get parked in Grangemouth? I saw a very similar one parked in Talbot street a few weeks ago. I only saw it from the back tho. You E36 is looking awesome. An old friends Dad bought a compact Sport brand new with those wheels. Funnily enough from from Stirling BMW when it was Menzies.

Have you tried Printforce? They do single copy digital printing and shipping as well. If Amazon works for you it might not be worth the hassle. Maybe if you were going to supply shops or sell at events.

That’s a curious thing. Many, many years ago a colleague had an earlyish Cooper S that broke a rear trailing arm. We thought it was because he handbraked into a kerb in the snow a few weeks previous. I remember having a headache at BMW as what they wanted to order was different to what was on the car. Had to find one on the forecourt to look at. From memory the original was cast and the updated was two layers pressed in a U.

I could just PM but curious if I can guess. Any clues? I’ve had this a few times where garages have had my car for over a month.
