Some post arrived today... Just need to get some reg plates made and mounted now! Annoyingly, I've got a crazy busy day today and tomorrow moving my tintop and a load of my stuff back to Ireland on the ferry tonight so I won't have a chance to drive it until Thursday. Fortunately NMS have been good enough to slot me in for alignment on Thursday afternoon, so with the last few bits to organise after that and a day or two to shake it down, I'm aiming to get a ferry from Harwich to Holland on Sunday morning, hopefully get to my brother's place in Düsseldorf for Sunday night, Denmark Monday, and on to Sweden by Tuesday. Ambitious, I know, but where's the fun in taking it easy!

Checking out the kitty litter at knockhill at the weekend Pictures rights go to flat out photography

So after 9 years she is off for checks and the final SVA.

One from my mapping session last week.

See you all there tonight.

The only place I had water come in on the BMW I had was where a LHD steering column would have gone through the bulkhead. Water drains down from front of screen but cannot get out fast enough. Quick and easy solution to that one was to remove the sound deadening cover in the engine bay that was sealing in the water and add some drain holes. That issue caused water to pool in read passenger footwell. On system rebooting/shutting down issue, I had it recently on 2017 Passat. That was solved by software update at dealer.

I read a lot of people’s opinions on Bmw forums and having untethered my phone, and a various other things it was dead. It beat me so I just ended up paying an actual expert. My experience of BMW is even though there may be a known problem they claim never to have a problem and want to charge £200 for diagnostics before even doing anything. And at best they may ask BMW for a contribution.

Sorry to hear of your woes @IanK (Bagpuss), hope you find the cause of the failure. Andy

Steve Arkley is to be thanked most as the catalyst to our invitation

I would also recommend Gary at Fengate MOT in Peterborough - he has done lots of kit cars, owns one himself and was making and launching his own model (not sure if that is still going or not)

Lovely evening.

Dodging flying marker posts at Knockhill yesterday.

DO IT! It might just be a phase for you, or a lifelong journey, but I doubt you will regret it either way. I've owned well in excess of 70 cars and bikes, all of them modified someway small and large, but my Westfield is up at the top of the list. And having a solid, supportive and friendly club behind it goes a long way to putting it there.

The side to side movement of the gear stick in the corners indicates transmission is moving a lot....of is it a built in roll indicator?
