Apparently, seven years ago today, we were sat in a McDonalds in Edinburgh on our way to collect a car bought on here. Not sure what it was…I’m thinking Renault of some description but I could be mistaken.

How do I know this?

Because Claire has just had it pop up on her facebook memories whilst we’re sat in McDonalds taking on board sustenance for the long(ish) journey south ahead of us.

Can you see where this is going?

Joint pc currently still at zero, though I can’t see that lasting much longer in all honesty.

Wrong…got too many of those already 😂

Around a hour away and the sun has just come out. An omen?! 😂

11,022 · January 21

Shit picture as I was late spotting it but one for the bus fondlers

Comes back as a 1975 Bristol

Where did all of these suddenly go?

Just realised there’s hardly any around these days.

I do hope so.

Worst case, it’d probably break for more but from what I’ve seen, it’s well worth saving.

Quite a few 75s in Barrow, maybe this is where they go to die...

We had its little brother until fairly recently and enjoyed it immensely so I’m optimistic…

They used to be everywhere but then one day, you realise there’s hardly any about.

Same with everything, I suppose. A lovely doom blue Sierra estate on wolfrace slot mags drove past my unit the other day and lifted my spirit a great deal!! 😂😂

Ok…arrived, handed over and now back at the glorious Gloucester services for a sausage roll.

Thank you @Steve79, it was a pleasure to meet you.

Other than a few fully disclosed issues, it is a really nice thing to drive. Touch wood, the gearbox hasn’t put a foot wrong yet and the drive back up so far is very comfortable indeed 👍🙂

Pleasure to meet you and the missus Neil.

Glad the BMW is performing well

Fantastic! Loved the engine noise and exhaust note on this. Gearbox never missed a beat whilst i had it (for 5 mins or whatever it was 😂)

3,908 · January 21

Solenoids Neil reckons. Drops into limp when hot. Had the fluid changed but to no avail. Was on the original fluid.

3,908 · January 21

Much prefer what he left with me 🤣

11,022 · January 21

I really really don’t want to tempt fate as we still have 30 miles to go but so far, it hasn’t put a foot wrong.

The ABS sensor/reluctor ring wants looking at and there’s a bit of a oily smell after a prolonged motorway run which will likely be the rocker cover gasket…TADTS…but otherwise, it’s spot on.

Can’t wait to have a proper play on the lanes around home if it ever stops chucking it down. Even Claire is happy driving it and she’s far fussier than me when it comes to older cars 😂

Nice one, seems like it might be worth keeping alive after all. Also I completely forgot about the Roadmaster!

Please peel that plasti dip off the kidney bezels asap though.

No, that was a bit later on and involved an overnight in Kinross courtesy of @The Moog!
