Fackin' BMWs...

A constant feature of all my BMWs has been the need to buy them a succession
of little presents. I love riding them, but the piecemeal complete rebuild
thang is a little off-putting.

 

Why do you need to wait for December?

 

Have to agree. I mean, who ignores a fuggin' great red warning light
smack bang in their view?

 

Very well put, my monotreme friend.

 

'Cause that's when the contract is due for renewal. It's on a kind of
lease thingy, see? I get to give it back to them for an agreed price or
use it as p/x on my next BMW at a "preferential" rate.

The former option is (unsurprisingly) currently the favourite and would
be worth about £7.5k if memory serves. About the right amount of money
for a tidy, recent-plate -12R and still get change for a trip abroad
with it to say, I dunno, Eastern Europe via Spain

Bummer. Ditch it.

Oh! Yes, that is the number but I was a bit pissed and deleted the it
instead of replying to it - sorry!

 

A trip possibly involving a certain motorcycle race?

 

No-one. If it's on, that is. I've since found out it wasn't.

but thanks for the suggestion. I'll likely post something else over
there soon.

 

My B-I-L - "it'd only been on for a few minutes, then the engine stopped"
- he was fortunate that the Golf has a low oil pressure protection system
and shuts the engine down before it damages itself.

Nothing new there railway locos have had that since the fifties.

 

Coo, ya lear summat new, etc.
