Carbon vented bonnet ordered.
Coilovers fitted this coming Wednesday.
Just need a coolant flush and I think that'll do until winter for changes, unless my gearbox needs repairs in the meantime

At one point the tyres I had on the E30 were 10 - 12 years old... They are all brand new now, but the spare is an original Pirelli P600. I think the date stamp means 1989. It is in mint condition, looks unused. Still pliant and uncracked.
I should probably replace it but its cool to have the original spare in an old car...

The Pirelli P6000 was a low point for humanity.

Weren't these the Ditchfinders, before it became the accepted nomenclature for any crap tyre?

p600 not 6000

Not today, but had a lot of fun at the weekend. Was driving along a reasonably remote but beautiful area where I live when I hit a pothole that was obscured by some tree shadows. Cue some very interesting banging and grindy noises, something was very wrong, but was in the middle of nowehere and tried to limp home. Unfortunately what followed was one of my AD08's letting go. Coil spring had snapped and further driving had dislodged the sharp part into the tyre. Pulled over and eventually managed to get a space saver on which luckily cleared the broken spring. Now it's time for some very overdue suspension shopping.
Not the worst looking place to break down in:
Broken spring:
Bye bye AD08:
Bugger. Thought you were selling?

It's still the plan, but i've been very busy lately in and out of work and i'm in no rush to sell.
Obviously have to put it right first!
Soldato
Replacing it with anything exciting?

I've a few ideas knocking around, but muddied by the complexity of owning a few car types here.
Probably something simpler, lighter, and less practical.

It never ends, snapped rear spring means another day spent fixing it instead of enjoying it tomorrow
I would say I understand your pain, but I think you'd win on the "something's wrong with the car again" game
