  1. I had several E21s all of the 316 variety. Roundabouts in the wet were no problem. I then traded in my X plate 316 for the 323i E30. On the first roundabout at the Seafield road junction in Inverness I approached as I would have done in the 316, only this time the back end of the E30 jumped out and I was only saved by the LSD straightening me up. I’ve always been careful of the E30 in the wet since then.
  2. The 323i came with twin pipes and both angled and straight pipes were available. The angled pipes were more prevalent in Europe. Mine is a genuine BMW system and I have had the car since it was 4 years old. It has always straight pipes.
  3. Talking about Bedford, I saw this in Cape Verde in February. Apparently it’s gen - a marketing exercise.
  4. I used to go to it pre chinky nonsense. It was always a good place for hunting. Didn’t know it had finished though.
  5. The number plate on the Jensen was used many times. I bought the Ford Transit kit back in the day and it came with the same number. A mate had the same number on the single decker bus with the bell function.
  6. HS25 is on a veteran car in Carry on screaming, driven by Harry H Corbet. Today it is on a 2020 Jaguar.
  7. Cadbury crème eggs already in our local shop. The owner says it’s the earliest they have been available that she knows of.
  8. I had my 4th one and felt shit afterwards for a couple of days. It was the Moderna. Having had Covid in August it wasn’t far off being the same all over again.
  9. I remember the Vauxhall dealer in Edinburgh trying to sell Cadillacs in the late 90s/early 2000s. I don’t think many were sold. I seem to recall 100,000 miles servicing as a selling point but maybe wrong.
  10. That one could easily have been one of mine. I did buy one new, deliberately remove the engine and make a cardboard bonnet for it and paint the rear plate and lights! I sold off all my matchbox and corgi rockets in 2000 to a dealer at an Ingliston model fair.
  11. My old 320 was the same. I could start the engine, take out the key and lock it, to allow it to defrost on a winters day.
  12. ^ Similarly in the fact of having only one rear fog lamp on the OS. No good for Euro land travelling.
