Bought an old BMW M3, filled with regret...

It's not a daily though

I just took it today as I dropped it off on the way to work to have the brake fluid change done as it was due now.

Otherwise it sits there looking pretty most work days!

Tom|Nbk · 22 Apr 2015 at 21:43

Why is it not a daily lol

mrk · 22 Apr 2015 at 21:47

30 minutes to walk to work and walk around 5 miles a day combined, and use the ferry, or an hour or more to drive to work and sit through traffic, guess what I'd rather do

Tom|Nbk · 22 Apr 2015 at 21:59

Beats my 70 mile combined

mrk · 22 Apr 2015 at 22:18

£20 of fuel would last me a month!

Obviously that was in the 318, that figure has increased slightly

You are never going to keep a daily pristine MRK it's a nightmare for me as the Maser doesn't fit in the garage and I live near a main road so my cars always covered in dust no matter what

I thought you high rollers would have multiple garages...

I've got a double but the bloody things must have been designed for your mini!

I had to build a custom one for my Range Rover, damn designers not having 7 foot high 4x4's in their brief

I wouldn't be at all happy keeping a Maserati outside.

Tom|Nbk · 23 Apr 2015 at 11:29

Believe me I'm not but this is the position I'm in once my job is a bit more stable and I know where my base is my first requirement will be a house with a nice garage

So Autoglass just turned up, guy unpacked the new windscreen from his van, prepped it all, got the moudling out... they've supplied the wrong moulding so will have to be re-booked for another day.

I took a half day at work today to accommodate for their rather wide 3-8PM arrival time :mad:

Howard · 24 Apr 2015 at 15:35

What a faff. Do windscreen fitters ever get something right first time?

mrk · 24 Apr 2015 at 15:36

That involves driving to work, which I do not do.

I'm just going to have to get them to arrive 6-8PM or a weekend instead.

Howard · 24 Apr 2015 at 15:37

Yeah I edited my post when I realised that you probably won't be at work til 8pm either

mrk · 24 Apr 2015 at 15:56

Heh. Just had a call from their head office, re-booked for bank holiday Monday coming up.

3rd time lucky?

Edit*

Well, social networking can be a good thing I suppose!

In my personal experience Autoglass are a bunch of jokers, especially the booking process. I've found National Windscreens much better, plus you can actually go to one of their depots to have the work done if you want. Autoglass are closing all of theirs and going completely mobile.
