Monsoon season over here at the moment! Hardly been out of the house this week. Hopefully the weekend won't be too bad and we can get out for a while. Forecast doesn't look to bad at the moment.

Inspected, insured, and sort of washed. It’s now officially mine, too, since I ended up buying it. Will be here for grocery getting and the odd dinner out.

Tart.

Nice E30, don't know what sort of value they hold in Portugal but that is an expensive car in the UK.    What motor in it?

It´s my least preferred body style for an E30, would much rather prefer if it was a coupe or a station, but there you go. It´s just a 316i, 90 hp or something like that. My girlfriend used it as a daily for years, and it's never missed a beat.

I do like an E30, would love a 320 Touring.  E30 and E34 arguably the best BMWs in terms of looks and quality.   I can see you also have an emotional attachment to that one.  

I love my E46 Compact, wanted one for years but had to wait until they were cheap enough for my pocket.  I can't imagine ever selling it as I had to wait to long to get it.     I do like old BMW's cars and bikes.  If I won the lottery I would have many.

Sadly stolen a long time ago. And these center hubs are insane to buy.

They stole the front badge at the same time too, how she cried...

Hate scum that steals stuff like that.

Yup it was a bit nippy today @Saul, I was north of you in Tenby, It was -8.5c when i arrived this morning and i was working outside in it, never went above 2c all day. I have been working in temperatures below freezing all week, but never mind about my easy job lets hear some more about how hard Pete's getting it in his warm office pressing those spring loaded keys on his keyboard for a living, must be absolute hell :classic_laugh:

One hour of the Pellet Burner belting out the heat is fine until the evening as it's still quite mild.

This is my neighbours E34 Alpina B10, he just leaves it out on the road in all sorts of shitty weather and it hardly gets driven.  Surely that's not the way to treat a car like that ...........

Got another calendar today! There's a weird tradition here that the firemen, bin men, postie, etc come round on the run up to Christmas for their tips, but they're not allowed to just accept money. So you "buy" a calendar from them for whatever you think appropriate.  I don't know what the rules are, but the French are very creative in finding ways around them!

Anyway, anyone want to buy a calendar? 😉😂😂😂

Still allowed to tip here.  I always look after the bin men, always good to keep them onside.
