Ok but it’s poring at the minute but the small bits being done won’t show up on pics ie: little bit of rust round boot lock push button, rust on base of o/s door mirror, small ding in passenger door, scuffed area on bumpers,
Refix lower front grille or replace it,
Small amount of rust on sill fronts

We did Italy in the M again this year and cruising between 70/80 mph she averaged around the 33 mpg mark again. I expect the 3.0 litre will do around the same.
Come on now, photos or it didn’t happen!

Rained all day and strong winds, we are only a mile up the road from Blue Anchor bay can see the sea in winter but the wind always blows over lots of our garden pots.
I will see what I can do to morrow chaps Geoff

Vandaag (today) min 16° max 23°

Its lovely over here, has been for the last month and a bit, can't remember the last time it rained o_O
The weather report is stating "abnormal temperatures" for this time of year as it should be around 14 -15 Deg C !!
Even though its top down weather, not a Z in sight, or any other soft top to be precise,

Normaal ligt de middagtemperatuur half oktober op 14-15 graden.

Price of weed will no doubt be going up in the Hash Capital of Europe .... Amsterdam, due to water shortage ;)
Even where I live, half hour north of Amsterdam, there are three "Coffee Shops", one just down the road from me and two in the center of town in total !
Typical of the Dutch but keeps the crap off the streets.

They make them look like cool places to hang out for the teenagers .... :whistle:

No, that was stopped a long time ago, can't remember when to be honest but I do know one or two bars where the punters stick money in a pot behind the bar to cover any fine if the bar gets a spot check but that is a bit of Russian roulette, if they get caught a couple of times then its end game and they close the bar down.

So you can smoke weed but not tobacco in the bar (looks like there are ashtrays)?

Hi chaps
Some pics attached sent via my phone, all a bit dark as weather is not good and just as I finished it has started raining again.
The areas that I am having done are not that noticeable but I want them done to bring it right upto scratch.

My mates in the body works said after taking the sills off and having a good look said that the car is in such good condition that I should buy a new pair of sills which I have and collected from BMW Westerley and got same discount as Sopers and just as good service with a smile.
So I now have a pair of used silver sills off of a 2002 wide body that I think will tidy with a bit of work and a respray.
If any one is in need please let me know. When I get time I will clean them up treat the rust and post some pics. Geoff
