Quick question. The hole in the firewall. Cut out to remove rust, so there for a good reason. Regarding a cert - would a good repair be acceptable? Or is it likely to be a case of replace the entire firewall? (Please, no!)

That's a pretty good result!

Plans? What are they? I've all-but given up planning anything! Go with the flow.

No plans for lowering or even anything particularly adventurous. I showed Mrs M this pic, and she said "Mine!" So, as with the E30 for Miss M it'll be something solid, reliable and safe. And hopefully not too boring.

Craig - I'm keen. I expect to be picking up a 320/6 in the next few weeks or so, and know it needs suspension work. May as well get a headstart on sorting the backend!

The right rear on our car intermittently shows up on the dash. I'll need to get it sorted before the WoF, but so far cleaning contacts and replacing the bulb haven't helped.

Chris - I'd take this in a heartbeat! Your car has done about a third the mileage ours has, and being NZ new does make your car more attractive. Sadly, I doubt my finances will get a look-in. If you have any decent service history you could see up over $8k.

Sorry Kyu - I've been keeping Andy busy!

Sold as seen.

One day - I'm after a R-GS at some point. My Bandit 1200 keeps me happy while I'm waiting.

From 14.00.

That Hans? He's a very nice man. So helpful!

I'd agree - frozen meat isn't quite the same. However, I now have a freezer full of sausages, beef joints, venison, lamb, chicken... That's sorted a barbie next weekend.

Pretty much nailed it. I think it was slightly less precise and may have been 'BBS 3-something... The pointy ones.'

Work and health have caused a bit of a slowdown. Got one of the front wings off - still no more rust. A happy event, but still a slightly surprising one. In the meantime, Miss M has decided the wheels need to be 15x7 BBS RZ348s. Anyone got any taking up space in a shed/garage/garden? Very happy - prefer - to have something that needs refurb.

Sounds a bit pricey, even if it does have wheels desirable to some/many.

That's the plan. Poultry in the chilly bin, red meat kept as cold as practical. There may be venison for Christmas.

Or just buy an M3? It'd certainly be easier!

Yup - it's already frozen. Sounds like look after the poultry, and the rest will be OK provided I'm sensible.

There is some poultry, but that can go into the bins I have. The rest is red meat. Thanks for the tips guys.

I've been offered a selection of meat, sufficient to fill our 2/3 size chest freezer. I have access to a couple of smaller chilly bins, but nothing like enough to carry everything. (It's going to be pretty much a boot-full in the 320d.) Any suggestions for packing/wrapping/protecting it for a little over an hour while travelling home? Bubblewrap?

I like it! But I like the Z4...

Fair 'nuf!

That's a very nice-looking car. Great colour combination, imo. Perfect for Mrs M, except for the manual 'box! (And being in Christchurch...)
