When I bought my MC in 2010, I always had it in mind that come the time my daughter headed off to uni, with us having to help her out financially, I'd have to consider selling the car.
Well, she heads-off to uni in September but I'm hanging on to the MC as long as I bloody can... I'm going to look in to selling my body parts insteadNot actually in the least bit fat

As for the Uni thing, she needs a part time job (always looks better on a CV than just dossing for 3/4 years) and she can fund herself2002 '52 S54 - Titanium Silver with 18" BBS LMs, AP Racing BBK, KW V3, H&R anti roll bars & ACS flippers (previously 2000 'X' S50 - Arctic Silver)

2 yearly brake fluid change done, along with annual oil change. Still a way off the next Inspection service but I like to keep fresh oil in there. Local indy have had some problems getting supplied with Shell oil, so now on Mobil 1, 0W40. Had I known in advance I'd have supplied my own Shell oil, but I'm sure it'll be fine (BMW longevity approved oil)
Got some rust to sort out at the front of the sills (not the sill covers). Nothing major but don't want to see it getting worse and a couple of spots on the front brake lines that need a repaint
Diff mounts etc all looking good so I think the slight squeak I've noticed from the back is either that plastic boot cover I mentioned earlier, or the Rogue top mounts. Anyway, good to know it ain't the diff mount area
Must replace the rest number plate light bulb. Noticed that had gone ages ago but forgot about it, with rarely using the MC in the darkLast edited by Fat Tony; 03-11-2016, 11:40 AM.Not actually in the least bit fat

Sailed through the MOT today with no advisories. Panicked a bit when 2 armed officers cordoned-off the MOT centre during the test, due to somebody having deposited a stolen (I suspect) van there and scarpering. Wasn't worried about the guns, just the fact that the plates on my MC aren't exactly legalNot actually in the least bit fat

Nicest weekend of the year so far and my MC's parked up at my trusty independent while they investigate a rough idle. I suspect that it's vanos-related, with the idle speed varying quite a bit and generally being 'fluffy' on tickover, unless it decides to idle at 2k rpm. They renewed the solder on the exhaust solenoids last year, but we'll see once they've had it plugged in and given it a nosey.
All this sunshine... hope you're all out having fun in yours thoughLast edited by Fat Tony; 08-04-2017, 10:44 AM.Not actually in the least bit fat
