E46 330 Convertible.
Very well looked after...and damn near immaculate condition with only 54k on the clock.
The E46 is my IMO the better looking of the 3 series BMW's...Later models (which I've owned) are getting too soft around the edges (cosmetically) for my taste. The E46 is a good balance of curves and lines....And the 3.0l straight six makes a pleasing noise.
It's not as quick as I'm used too but that wasn't the point..I wanted a well cared for soft top cruiser.
(Potential fan boi alert)
Had mine 2.5 years, now sitting on only 62k and love it. Not particularly fast but with the top down it is a lovely thing to cruise in. Which colour combo?Very well looked after...and damn near immaculate condition with only 54k on the clock.

I found a small wasps nest in my trousers last night.
Trouser wasps are protected; you will need to have your trousers inspected by a Wasp Conservation Trust rep to record the size of the byke and the material condition of your nether garments in case you attempt unauthorised trouser alteration.
Only the Scottish variety will do, none of that sweetened paint thinner the colonials drink.
Full list of where I bin.

I know what I meant to tell you. As you know I spent a couple of nights in Stratford upon Avon over the weekend. It's a nice little town with lots of touristy things based around The Bard and the river. I had a very pleasant afternoon on Sunday after the SS mooching about by the water scoffing an ice cream and enjoying the sunshine.
It's a very clean town so litter tends to stand out a bit. That's why it was easy and unexpected to spot a ring-pull from a drinks can on the ground. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those.

We're having a purge of unneeded stuff.
Lots of amusing, questionable, freecycle stuff, but that is for another day.
I'm eBaying some stuff of value, one of which is a mower.
Quite a nice one, as such things go, a Hayter.
Took some photos, to list it, and thought it looked tatty.
So spent a a few minutes cleaning it.
Realised, quickly, I was detailing a lawnmower.
Stopped.

Hey Iva! how was the Alfa museum? and did you skip on the ferrari museum itself by choice? (i missed out on the enzo museum in modena when i was there)
Alfa museum is good,also easy to find,even an idiot like me found it easily.There will be pics.lots of pics.
The room with the concepts in it is worth the admission on its own and the racing cars and and and....
I skipped the Ferrari Galleria,Marranello as I've been 4 times before and time wouldn't have allowed it on the same day as the others I listed.
The Enzo museum is also much easier to find,I'm sure they've put up loads of new signs,been there 3 times now.
