Hi all, Sorry for the bumps in the road, contrary to media reports nothing to do with DOGE :whistle: Gaz

Need something a bit more capacious as the S3 just isn't cutting it. Whilst I can fit my e-bike in the back of it it's a squeeze and I'm going to ruin the interior long term. As it's an S3 it's not type approved for a tow bar and I don't like roof mount carriers. As trade in prices are...

Please can we use the Report button on the post rather than tagging the mod team directly. I appreciate the help but it makes more work for us to tidy up afterwards. We have a one click SPAM cleanup button that does everything, except going to the thread and deleting the post we are tagged...

Hi all, Just wanted to let you all know that @ExMX5owner has volunteered some of his time. With his time zone being 9 hours ahead of UK means he is perfectly positioned to get the crap posted while the rest of the team are sleeping. Took me a while to get his permissions sorted but he’s got to...

Placeholder for the days events!

Sold a kidney and used all my Christmas wishes for the next 20 years… she’s a stunner! Been getting a bit bored walking and all the good cycling near me involves hills. This was a favourite route but on a hard tail I’d blow my legs out on the 97m uphill elevation rise at the start. It’s...

Honest to goodness I'm the worst. Headed out this morning to go look at a couple of automatic M135i's and Golf R's. So obviously I bought a manual Audi S3 and didn't even bother to go and look at the 4 on my shortlist. Was browsing Autotrader waiting for Lee (responsible adult) to turn up at...

This time we have a 64k mile Topaz 2.2i Sport which Graham has been chatting with us for a while about. The main reason we've taken it in is that it needs a bit more done that Graham had expected. It had failed the last MOT with a laundry list of items, some easy fixes but the big problem was...

New daily & backup track hack acquired. 2007 Cooper S, 1.6 turbo, 75k miles. It's my second Cooper as I had a 57 plate 1.6 diesel which was awesome. N14 engine just had top end rebuilt after timing chain doing the thing that N14 engines do - if you know, you know! Nicely loaded with bits...

Suggestions please?

Filling up ready to hit the circuit…

Hi all, Been getting some SPAM sneaking past the angry chihuahua we get to check every post. I've given him a talking to about his performance and he's promised to do better. That said, he'll still let a bit through because he's getting on a bit. I've helped him out by tweaking the settings...

Or some other performance artist? We haven't had any snow yet this year, so clearly making some kind of political statement perhaps? Came back the next morning to sign their work, must have been in a rush at the time...

Be rude not to squeeze another one in…

One of the side jobs for today is splitting a set of 108s for @Oldguysrule’s Z4 project. I’ve heard bad things about splitting rims and honestly seems y’all making it hard work for yourselves however you do it. Split in two with zero broken bolts and ready to go for refurb on Monday. There...

Had to be done, got the bug from last time so we assembled the usual crew with a couple of extras. First off. VANOS service + new power steering pump + M Track mode. OMG it’s transformed the car and it was good before. Brake cooling and the Dunlop tyres are the weak links now. It’s got so...

Office outing today, more pics later…..

Just got contacted by the BMWCCGB Club Coordinator inviting us to bring a group to the event. "The BMW Car Club is inviting forums/social media clubs to attend our national day this year at Donington Park circuit on Sunday 7th August. There is a discount on tickets for both members and...

Hi all, As spotted by a keen eyed @ZEDonist UK we had some dodgy links posted. In usual style the spammers really have little idea on how to hide their activities, but it's a timely reminder to watch what you click. I've made a few tweaks to the system which may help, but I can't stop all of...
