If anyone wants a stay clear story. Put my car into @FrankKeaneBMW for a service and repair. Was told the car needed to be kept overnight. Car had a built in tracker so I checked it later that evening to find one of their staff had driven it home and parked it on the road outside pic.twitter.com/CYBosrPuL6

Checked it again in the morning and it was in Vincent’s Hospital. They explained that this was “standard practice” and the technican simply had a hospital appointment on the way to work. No apology, no explanation other than “this is standard practice” pic.twitter.com/XyzR6HD5lY

Behold: the BMW R80 Project 4 – a modified R80 by German builder Elemental Custom Cycles: lowered restrung forks; a rebuilt 797cc boxer engine, 17” wheels front and back; Brembo brakes and Motogadget instrumentation. In short, a comprehensive road-going remake of a 1980s classic.

Behold: the 1940 BMW 328 Roadster – the best sports car of its day and the first example of the superleggera lightweight aluminium body pioneered by Touring of Milan.
Yours, fully restored, for just €1.7 million.
He’s Beem there done that.
Via DoneDeal:
My car, (her name is Sabine, say hello) has a service history which is longer than the findings of the Chilcot inquiry, and is currently wearing new Pirelli Cinturato P7s’.
I bought her two years ago at the beginning of my quarter-life crisis, but as I approach my 30 and the status-anxiety has disappeared, I’ve decided that the time has come to say goodbye.
Whilst Sabine is mechanically perfect, she’s currently undergoing a period of minor electrical strife, so the roof isn’t retracting under power and the airbag light has illuminated. With that in mind I’ve priced her accordingly, allowing you to grab a bargain before the summer and the annual 40% convertible price increase.
(Open to ‘swapping’ offers for another 08+ ultimate driving machine (BMW), something else from Germany which is rear-wheel drive, something to tow a horsebox, or at the most basic, something more James May as opposed James Bond.)
Thanks John S

Really nice parking in Strandhill in Sligo. Although beemer drivers can do what they like, right?
They better hope Annie doesn’t get hold of ’em.
