I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Went to Cwmbran yesterday to fill up with V power petrol, had a good run to Abergavenny on the carriageway and as it got cooler the car got faster, what a motor, i have never driven anything so quick and relentless.
It honestly made me smile with the acceleration. If you havent tried an M, try an M :D
Cleaned and sorned today :bawl:

Took the frog over the Cat and Fiddle to Buxton today. Showing 190F on the temp gauge. Seems to be running a little hot after having its engine out to fit new gearbox. On the plus side 5th feels nice if I can find a long enough stretch of road to use it. Plenty of other cars out and about - several Z4s, a sterling grey Z3 in Buxton, a E-type at the tea room just before the Cat and Fiddle pub, a Cobra just ahead of me on the drive over and a weird yellow beach buggy thing on the way back. Glorious day for a drive. 8-)

Cheers R.

Hi Everyone
This weather is amazing :!:

Drove home tonight at 7.45 in the dark, with the top down still, what a ride 8-)

Have noticed the fan cutting in at lot more in this hot weather, its a bit disconcerting as it makes the Zed sound like a jet fighter when I accelerate. :devil:

I am tempted to have the water pump & radiater replaced.

Does anyone have any thoughts, perhaps I am just being over protective :roll:
