Sold it....or at least agreed terms and took a deposit.  :D

Is this the BMW, or has that already gone.  :-\

You're correct, it is the 335d touring.

Unfortunately I needed to release the money tied up in it. So I am temporarily in the 1600 Zafira B.

I'm tempted to order an EV through work as its replacement, but not for a few months.

Took the worlds fastest car (a shitbox from Enterprise) to Guildford to fit those cables I made at the weekend.

Somehow, I've come back with a nasty burn on my arm, and no idea how I did that.
Working from home?  :D
I am relieved to inform you that my home is nowhere near Guildford.

Took the Omega to Nottingham and back 370 miles. It ran perfectly and returned 21.5 mpg on lpg and not hanging about, very happy with that.

Blimey, I could only manage low 20s LPG MPG from mine if I was being a good boy, and not breaking any limits by more than 10-20mph.

Thats impressive going :y

There were a few speed restrictions on route😉 but unbelievably I had no traffic problems at all, I started out at 9.30am both ways.

Went to check and pump up the tyres, only to find that the display on my inflator isn't coming on. So then spend ages faffing around looking for a tyre pressure gauge.

Then moved the car back to its right place on the drive, and it starts to complain about the key battery, so end up replacing that.

Then I drive to the Amazon hub pickup point to collect a parcel, only for them not to recognise the code, grrrr.


Speaking of Amazon, I noticed from my credit card statement that they are charging me for Prime, but no Prime on my account.  Got nothing but a string of lies from the useless bastards, so had to report it to the credit card company as a fraudulent transaction, with all the hassle that involves, like the card being immediately invalidated...   ...perfect timing :(


I'm not touching anything else today.


In more positive news, renewed the car insurance.  Ironically, both cars are identical premiums.

This is true, I had a ring round the other day and I was quoted 6m plus by most leasing companies :o

No delay on Tesla's though.  :y
