Dan_ZTT Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Home from rock concert (work) at 11.30 last night, alarm went off at 6am. Joy. Quiet streets. Power walk to the station because I should probably have got up earlier. Local station achieved with 10 minutes to spare because I power walked too hard. End of the line… Breakfast: not yet PC: zero and hoping to stay that way until home paulplom, AnnoyingPentium, privatewire and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Trying to work out the station. That's the Longbridge to Four Oaks line, via Birmingham New street I think?

Evesham Road towards the Headless Cross end, very close to my house. I know what you mean though, looks very similar, I’m sure it dates from the same period.

gadgetgricey Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Normally would ask, are you back yet. But with this will ask. Have you filled up yet? Was tempted by this myself, at least it's closer to the Midlands now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and no, amazingly. HMC had kindly/accidentally left enough in to get me home, just. I’ll put a full tank in on morning, bracing my wallet now. Question for the group, should I run it on E5/super or just regular, will it matter? I normally don’t bother, but also I don’t normally own “performance” vehicles Rightnider 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightnider Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Good boughtage! I haven’t noticed any difference between E10 and E5 in my E430, so I’d just go for regular if I were you. Dan_ZTT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_ZTT Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Should probably update this thread... Car is excellent but if you own one and take it to work do expect to be asked 'how many mpg then?' approximately every 5 minutes To do; Fix missing rear seat belt Get fresh MOT in December Sell in spring?

vaughant Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Very good cars and you've made the right move going for a pez version. They had a really bad rep years ago but totally unjustified and most of the major issues have an easy workaround. I really fancied this at the time but with my mileage I couldn't even consider it. Still the ultimate all round car IMO, and fair play can they stand up to a good bump. Ace off road too compared to the hapless X5, have a YouTube for a good laugh, ours drove in the snow exactly the same as in the dry.
