Swapped an auto box that only went forward for one that doesn't go at all. Well that was a full day wasted!

Added a Sony aux and iPod module to the wifes e36. Seems to work with iphone 4s & 6 which isn't bad for 2006 gear.
Just need a 40pin Firewire to 40pin USB adaptor and it should charge the phone as well.

It's a little unbelievable really, so flat, so crisp and direct. Today I took it for a drive through the Clevedon Scenic road and through to Maraietai, it was remarkable, I'd taken my E36 V8 with M3 suspension through those roads many times and I got the distinct impression the Soarer was doing a better job of it without the twitchiness or nervous feedback the E36 gave me

Finally found a use for the old cast iron block that I've been tripping over in the shed for months. Quite a handy jig for making repairs to the set of twisties. Not in as bad a condition as I had initially thought, won't take much at ll to fix them up :)

Finally found my missing bag of zorst studs and separated the copper nuts from the studs......... amazing how WD40 soaks into the skin and how long the aroma lasts for. 13 hours and counting :mellow:
