No more up-skirt photography please!

Was bitterly disappointed to see that his undercarriage was not a pair of turnips and a massive melon.

[motorpunk]

Aha. Bollocks.

[Sheefag]

Bastard.
Who did you rent from?

[Wibble]

What were we saying about 1 Series’?

Manual E60 M5, very nice. May your rod bearings stay nice and smooth.

[motorpunk]

More bollocks - am ignoring it

Since you're in Minnesota, you're not far from @Fumbler, who's in Wisconsin.

In case the BMW does the inevitable and you need something more reliable.

Badlands national park. Incredible place. Car is flying! A few hours from our next murder hotel. Then a BIG slog to our final destination. Any guesses?

My daughter introduced me to a podcast called “Small Town Murders” where the two presenters tell the stories of various murders in small towns across America.

So, if you’re looking for some entertainment whilst driving to your next murder hotel, it’s worth a listen.

You may even pick up some tips on how not to be murdered yourself!

I don’t think you would have succeeded!

Am a bit flakey as have been driving like a tit all day, but I think we’ve done 1050 miles in 24 hours now. Currently here wherever the fuck this is. Have to stop for the day.

It’s 9.45 pm and I’m in some weird cowboy town full of Trump-felchers. Time for bed.

This trip must involve a Rover 600 is my guess.

Welcome to the US.

We're down in Southern Ohio right now, pop in if you're passing.

It's a trap; just don't.

Woke up at 4am local time today. Crossed another time zone yesterday. Food has been the usual hit and miss, some utterly disgusting, and felt a bit weird as we’re living off coffee and chocolate on the move due to the distances we need to cover. Had a salad last night and felt like a human again. Car warning lights seemed (note past tense) to be alternator related and ignoring them has made them go away on their own.  We did 20ish miles on a gravel track yesterday in an area called Badlands - an incredible area. The M5 makes a super rallycar.
