Looking at its MOT history it's not exactly a loved example. Shame!
Meh, probably just a BMW main dealer. The dealer near me likes to advise about brake pads needing replacing when they are 60% worn. Last time it was in, they raised an orange warning because they couldn't find a top-up bottle of oil in the boot FFS (which they hadn't mentioned during the last 4 years of them servicing it).

Bear in mind that many mechanics will MOT the car BEFORE servicing it if you have both done at the same time.

Spotted about sixty bazillion Aston Martins on the A326 near Hythe on Sunday Morning, i guess there was a mass turnup at Beaulieu for their annual 'simply' knees up. I was going the opposite way in the Mustang after being told by the wife i could not do 'car things' on such a nice sunny day :-(

An early (I think) yellow Gallardo going past B&Q head office in Chandlers Ford about half hour ago. Reg plate was M88 something, I think.

That was me off to Goodwood. It's a TT RS Plus BTW!
My thanks to two lads in a Escort who let me in when joining the M27 at J7!

Nice! Thought I recognised the number plate but couldn't place it. I was on a driver awareness training thing that work make me do in my work-mobile so couldn't really look interested in anything other than the road straight ahead!

RIB17 enjoying the sun with the top down in Eastleigh yesterday afternoon. Also some lovely metal about this afternoon I passed on my bike: absolutely beautiful techno violet E46 M3 cab in Twyford, some sort of wide arch SL6/55 Merc (Black series perhaps) near J13 M3 at Winchester, and what looked liked a spirited drive in a grey GT3 outside of Bishops Waltham.

a Ferrari Dino Spyder (may have been a replica) .... followed me all the way from Easebourne / Midhurst to Haslemere on Saturday, just curious if it was the real deal or not ?!

That sounds like it was me, Mk2 Golf GTI in Bright Blue Metallic. Was such a nice day, thought I'd get it out of the garage and take it to work.
