Bella is in storage whilst the drive gets a spruce up so plenty of room in the garage. Having moved in last July I've finally got round to my garage so it began today. Test fit of my cleaning materials, well, some of them. A few more shelves to go up and a bit of paint and some resemblance of order has appeared.

A decent start

I appear to be running short

A great long weekend in Scotland with Team Zed. Seven cars all in compromising of;

Z3 2.8 Single VANOS, senior citizen of the group (mine)
Z3 2.8 Twin VANOS
Z3 2.8 Twin VANOS Facelift
Z3 2.2 (224,000 miles so nearly run in )
Z4 E85 3.0 si
Z4 E89 SDrive 20i
Z4 G29 SDrive 20i

Based just outside Dumfries in a nice hotel with decent food. Forecast was grim but roof down 70% on Saturday, a few savage showers, and 100% on Sunday with sun all day (roof down there and back too). 500 miles for me with others coming from further afield.

Two great routes

Car defo needed a good clean when home due to the weather.

After a year and a bit of no M5 I did some bits on the house and pretty much come to an end with that.

I was looking seriously for an Alpina as felt this could fit the bill for a replacement but few and far between for what I wanted to get.

So deposit paid on a 2007 S63 AMG L. This car is in silver with black leather interior, 61,000 miles on the clock and three owners from new. Pretty excited and have done some restoration work on the SL and it’s pretty enjoyable restoring an older car so got this (not that on the face of it it will need anything doing currently) and need to do some work on the a range Rover this year.

Don’t think I will make money on this in the same way as the M5 as a different type of car but probably won’t lose much money on it in the future as well.

I still have a read through here now and again and appreciate that I will contribute less as no BMW on fleet.

Cheers
