Folks,
Mrs Dave has been getting it all her way lately. The CSi has been tucked up in the garage since last October. Sadly I never got to the little things I wanted to put right during the winter months. Reasons for this - bike crash, broken radius and ulner - both the long bones in the forearm, and a shattered up wrist.
I did get an original leather CSL sports wheel from german ebay, ( Der bay? ) It is now fitted and looking good. Still plan a bit of paintwork, and maybe chrome arches.
In the last two months, I have had to endure a new central heating system, floors up all over the house, new radiators and pipes, new boiler, lowered ceiling in kitchen, rip out old kitchen, fit new floor, and install new kitchen units, worktops etc etc. Was doing most of the work myself with the help of a couple of friends.
Well, today was nice ( for Scotland! ) and I saw the BMW looking all sad in the garage. No more!! Off to the post office for tax, a bit of air in the tyres, quick check of the levels, and off out to play!
What a great blast - I had almost forgotten the noise, and feel of the good car. The kitchen can wait !! ( This may be the cause of some slight domestic disharmony, but it's warm enough to sleep in the garage again )
The London meet being discussed is probably a bit soon for me, but I may consider a trip down in the future.
Attention Malc! Malc - I have a feeling that a wee bit tinkering / tune / once-over would not be a bad idea. My knowledge in this department is not too good. Fancy a visitor??
