I recently spotted someone with a similar model who is less keen on the previous owners embellishments nice* bit of polished wood on the door cards, net for driving gloves / pipe holder but the icing on this particularly cheesey cake is the glovebox lid "British feeling, MACBETH light weight sport" no less twosmoke300, Jerzy Woking, Fumbler and 16 others 4 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the script on the glovebox definitely makes up for it, being like the equivalent of a regretable drunken seaside tattoo of some Chinese words that definitely say "Love Peace Wellness" and not something defamatory about your mother.

Near-ish to where I live, in the suburb of Ponsonby, in Auckland. Parking is notoriously hard to find there, and many of the old villas do not have the space on the property for a garage.

kirton Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 About midday Monday I ordered some parts at the local BMW main agent; 09:05 Wednesday I get a call - your parts are in. Not bad for a 35 year old car, let alone some of the parts being very low production model specific. The grump will I fear come when I attempt to fit them, blood is likely.

Jerzy Woking Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Went out on my pedal assist e-bike this morning. Took it very gingerly as not wanting to damage the knees i had surgery on. 30kms covered, mostly flat or gentle gradients, and nearly all of it covered whilst on the lowest "Eco" setting. Very pleased with that, so will have several more rides on this route to build up strength and stamina. I am a fat bastard so no going for broke just yet.
