There probably are :wink: but i wish i could get my underbonnet area that clean in only 2 hours!

In fairness mine isn't too bad but it's nowhere near that clean!
Cheers,

thanks to susie (did i spell that right?) for bringing the met 827. i haven't sat in one before, honest guv.
next one is saturday 4th august from 2pm, all welcome[:)]

and as today was the last day of mot for my 820i, it was only fair that it ended its life the way it started back in 1991 - at mantles garage in royston:

i'm now reluctantly breaking this car, so if anyone needs any bits, just shout. its still for sale in one bit, or whatever bits are left at the time, for a decent offer around scrap value

Shame i missed it once again! Have to try and organise my bad days to coincide with different days of the week when nothing interesting happens!

Surely it must be worth at least putting your 820 through an MoT Kev? Looks tidy enough to give it a go and there's not many Mk1s left now?

Not sure if i can make next months as hoping to get to the BL day @ Peterborough on the Sunday so will be organising things on the Saturday so perhaps see you at Peterborough?

Meanwhile could you add me to the email reminder list for September please? Will PM you my email in a mo.
Cheers,
Dave

all done mate

don't be fooled by the pictures from the other side of the road - i know several areas it will fail on, so there's no point wasting £27 on an mot. and after all that repair work is done you've still got a worthless rusty snotter. and next year you do the same again.....
however, if anyone has got some spare money to throw at this and save it, feel free.

Have to say in my experience, half price MoTs are a waste of money. Tried one once and had a long failure sheet. Tried a "free" one (voucher in the local paper) and had a list as long as the car!

Took it where i normally took my cars at the time and had 2 failure points, both of which i suspected in advance. Fixed them and got a years test!

The car looks pretty tidy in the pic, shame it has "hidden horrors" so to speak.
Cheers,
Dave

Just spotted this thread....

Interesting car in ksclark's post of 4th August, 2 above this one.

5/91 827SLi Auto f/b in NORDIC! Thought it might be OldBugger's missus' car but he says that is manual.

Do we know this car on here?
