So my new daily run about has turned up at home. I was not there to greet it sadly as I have to be in That London all day, but please find taxi related images taken by my lovely wife, currently nursing a broken foot, so excuse the somewhat rushed images!

Oh. I got back from the ring a couple weeks back. I drove there and back - doubt I'll do that again. Got really uncomfortable.

I didn't want to drive the car 100+ miles to Lohen. So hired the transporter. £90 for the day.

You didn't want to drive a BMW Mini 100 miles so you hired a truck?!

No... the car developed an issue and he didn't want to risk a potentially dangerous 100 mile drive so he hired a loader to be safe...

Yes that was exactly it.....

And I'm glad I did. I had intialini thought it might have been a drive shaft issue. Turns out one of the wheel bolts was a little loose. Which annoyed me because I was certain I checked all of them yesterday.

Anyway.... Issue solved and mileage saved I guess. Had a few other things sorted too.

Easy then, can sort it out sometime. I was in Warwick area last night, met one of my old team at Saxon Mill, is that near you?

Looks just like my airport taxi.

Excellent. It is like driving one too I suspect.

I have done 10 miles in it, so can't really make a judgement but it's soft, wafty, quiet and easy.

Sounds good, nice drilled disks too (+10 bhp).

Lovely. Saw you this morning on the A34!

Akagi · 12 Oct 2018 at 15:14

Friend in the car club had his house broken into and had all three vehicles on the driveway stolen!

BMW M4 - Now found but with the interior ripped out
Cooper S - HV68 SYY
Peugeot Partner van - CA11 ETL - Signwritten so probably painted over and wearing different plates...

In Hampton.

HI All,

Been a member for years, lots of browsing of the graphics cards forums and purchases but rarely post.

Anyway, here is my new toy

I picked up a few weeks back. So much fun and very light.

^ Win. Really like these, like to think I'd be looking at one to replace my car in a couple of years.

Thanks, I've been looking for a while, narrowed down between an M2 competition, Cayman S, 4C and the A110. There was something really special about the A110, lovely engine sound for a 4 pot and so responsive when you drive it due to the lightness of the chassis. I was lucky to get one of the Premiere Edition models which are limited to 140 RHD cars.

Can't remember the last time I enjoyed driving so much (41 now) and find myself taking out for little cheeky drives in my lunch break when I work at home.

I'm lucky enough to have this as a weekend car, my main car is a Superb estate 280 4x4, that's a great stealth mobile.
