Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

How fast will you go through the tyres?

Not very I imagine.

I think so, yes. Diagonal parking aside, I'm not sure whether it would fit in a regular space...

Good work mate. Genuinely delighted for you. And slightly envious. Enjoy the trip back.

Has @Dammit stacked it on the way home?

Yes! This. Getting the p38 I think, wangled some extras and an extended warranty and service place so pretty happy, G wagon went today and I have money burning a hole in my pocket

Better tyres is probably the right answer then. That said, I'd get the better looking wheels everytime.

Barge-parked too

E46 dumped all its coolant in the street today. Very dramatic.

Pain in the flipping arse. Need to get it to a garage via the AA recovery but they’re all closed at weekends.

You’re describing my exact feelings, lol.

They might be a goer, provided they’re not ancient/bald.

Ah fuck, fingers crossed it’s nowt serious.

Has @Dammit stacked it on the way home?

I keep checking here like a worried parent.

@Señor_Bear did it overheat or just drop its guts?

@Dammit, did you get home safely in the new fastwankermobile? I shouldn't, but I do care (vaguely).

Ha, glad I’m not the only one.

Also the Outback continues to make me question how we coped without it. After Christmas tree duties it picked up 2 sofa armchairs, each measuring 95cm long, and the boot actually closed.

Fuck all wrong with being ancient and bald, it works for me.

Just dropped it all out

One of the many plastic cooling system components will have given up. Radiator end tank maybe.

There’s a common plastic bit of coolant housing (the expansion tank maybe) that usually shits it along the moulding seam IIRC.

I've never met the man but I'm waiting for him to check in too!

Home safe and sound thanks, 7 hours driving today and 300 miles done- thanks A419 and M4 closure&diversion.

Full set of winters collected on the way home though, so will have to unload those before mountain biking tomorrow.

It’s quite fast.

, 7 hours driving today and 300 miles

Should have bought something a bit quicker.

hallelujah!

Yay!

Lol, would rep.
