'Looking Good!

The Positive!

24.04.22 This afternoon has been forecast rain and I was looking for an excuse and couldn't find one. The oil needed changing and it wasn't going to do it on it's own, so up to the garage...

The New Year 2025 - it is now 8 years on with my Z3 Daily Driver and it is still going well.
This year the Z3 needs be driven. With changes in Government legislation many of us are uncertain on how long we will have our freedoms to be able to drive our classics without the ongoing abuse from politicians, but we can only guess and see what develops!
Let us hope that this year the British people have something positive to experience and share, instead of the usual exploitation we seem to constantly get.

01.01.25 -

Jobs I can think of that may need to get done this year:
*3. Rewire internal Fuse boxes - (1 Panel remaining)
*7. Sill paintwork may require a rubdown rust treatment and touch-up?
*8. General Fluid, Service?
*17. The A/C could do with a complete top-up

Red = not completed or in progress)

After - looks better

07.01.24 - It's cold, we had snow, anyone with any sense would not be working on their car until the weather gets warmer, however; I have done just that on previous years, (must be getting older) will need to get the Z3 ready for it's annual MOT for early February, and I will need to possibly drag it out of the garage in the next few days, making sure the tyres are still inflated, check the engine block hasn't frozen, (Did put anti-freeze in it, so it should be alright, it's unlucky for humans, namely pensioners, as they will have to freeze, this year! This of course down to a certain 'dictator'...) I digress; and I will need to run some errands in the next few days. The snow is currently clear for now, let's hope it stays like that...
