Been a while since I’ve been on here!

I know Ady is alive and well, is Muddy still rocking the milk float? BKHK are you back in a RR?

My 335dx is up for a change and I’ve got a new M140i coming in a couple of weeks. Annoyingly the 335dx has been at the dealers since 8 Jan with a failed EGR and cooler and is awaiting parts which have fallen foul of BMWs massive recall, fortunately covered under the warranty even though it expired a year ago.

Might be back in the fold (We’ll LR Disco) later in the year when we change the GL - it’s been a good car but the dealer/manufacturer care makes LR dealers look ‘ok’ in comparison. I quite like the new Dicos 5, but also tempted by an X3, we’ll see.

Anyway, thought I’d say hi  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

A few of mates have 140is, my good mate has had only one issue in 18 months, the boot rattles because the dampeners have failed....3 times!

The other mate had to reject his first M140 because it leaked fuel like a sieve, and then he had lots of electrical issues. Turned out it was an ex show car that been used at lots of car shows and events and had been hooked upto a battery charger with the lights on all day every day.? His replacement 140i hasnt had one issue.

I’m massively impressed with the 140i and I would have one with no quibbles!! 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Will be a different drive to my 335dx and I'll have to be more sympathetic given the 340bhp goes through the rear.

Apart from the EGR recall and the time taken to fix due to supply issues, the 335 has been faultless and I've got a good relationship with the dealer so hopefully any issues can be sorted quickly

Ah, Mr SRE, hope you're well Sir, I always had you down as a Jaaagggggg sort of man
Are you still sunning yourself in Spain, or packing your bags for a post brexit return. Let me know when and I will go to the docks to throw rotten fruit at your ship

Thanks Tyrefitter, I'll await for Muddy to surface.......though he'll probably see this and avoid me  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Missed you BC, or rather the Pink lycra Should add your wingman ADY has gone missing as well, rumour has it he is on the Ford Ka forums.

Anymore bike rides planned BC?

Hi BC

Been back in an RRS V8SC but it’s gone because I really didn’t get on with it at all. Sad, fabulous engine, rest was junk. I am back in a new M3 which I am really enjoying. I said never another JLR project but I am always looking for another daily driver runaround car for Winter so never say never I guess.

Hope you are doing OK BC. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Sadly, I still have the bikes but haven’t ridden them for a few years, which means the lb’s have gone on and I don’t think I’d even dare attempt to get into the Lycra now

Probably a good thing for everyone else though  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

BKHK - all good, life’s been very good. I do miss the RRS and did consider an M3 but it’s literally to/from the station for me (20 miles each way) so it seemed overkill. The M ‘lite’ should fit the bill though.
Hope you’re well too  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Thanks for the wishes BC, likewise, I am glad life is treating you all well. Yes, life is good, I have become a self employed consultant, it’s been a lovely summer and working my own schedule, I have been able to swim at the beach most days. My company is doing well considering it’s only been going 6 months, well enough to run the M3! The 6 in the M 140 is lovely, the car will make you smile every time you drive it. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Good to see you back on here Bc. It would also be good to see the Siberian Fox back on here too now and again.
Pleased to hear you are still doing well.
I'm guessing Ernie (Muddy) will be busy searching through the various classifieds looking for his next motor. It must that time now where he car part with his float without having to pay back the government incentive that they paid him to buy it in the first place. 2 years of torture before you could get rid of it wasn't it Muddy?

Don't spend much time on here so found this by chance - Andy usually alerts me now if people are taking my name in vain

MB must be bad if they make LR look good

I'm still content with the Milk Float so no plans to change especially with a Mitsubishi Warranty until Sep 2021 and free RFL

Think it's about time we had the meet you were organising BC - I seem to recall it was your treat but happy to pay my share  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Yes im game for a meet up Paul,,but we are going in my SC not your milkfloat,,don't want to be pulling into every service station to re-charge  Andy.

So you are still alive Muddy.
That is good to hear. Bc is far to busy trying to learn how to ride an horse and pull the trigger of a shotgun. None of his neighbours have windows anymore.
Please to hear you have stuck with the float and hanging in on there with it.
Any dealer visits to report?
