T-reg must be very late registered. Sat around somewhere unused or maybe an import with a bit of a dvla cockup.

The next shape came out around 94 didn’t it, T makes that a 99?

Exported to Malaysia in 1992 then registered here on its return in 1999.

The driver was probably vaping these days.

M5 Touring, in a dark blue, maybe Tanzanite whilst out driving trying to put my daughter down. No pics as I can't be arsed to pull them off the dashcam.

My wife and daughter spotted this on the M20. I've never seen one in the metal (and obviously still haven't).



It is not a video, but a screenshot of one. Don't bother clicking play.

I was stuck for an hour on the M25, did see a Bangle 760li. There were only about 15 of these on the road when I was looking for them last year and I reckon only 5 of them are in decent condition so that was proper rare.


Also saw a new Panda. Forgot that was a thing. Looked smart and they’re only £19,000.

I didn’t scroll down far enough to see that message. I definitely clicked far too many times

I don’t hate them as much as I used to, but I can’t imagine ever wanting a Bangle.

This does remind me that I saw a F02 760Li recently. Slight want, but he was driving like a nob so I was able to retain my feeling of superiority.

Feels to me like the Bangle era stuff was the last of the BMW over engineering so I like them in that respect. The V12 in the E65 was a pretty ground up well made design but everything was unique on it. The one in the F02 was just the later 4.4 V8 with 4 extra cylinders and it had all the problems from that, used all the same electronics. G12 they fixed most of the problems so the engine was no longer horrifically unreliable.
Also crawl under a G12 and all the suspension components look like they’re off an ordinary car. It’s not like the old BMWs with huge forged aluminium control arms and beefy aluminium subframes.

Who was the man in the car with my wife and daughter?

Genuinely thought this was some kind of double-bluff, like bart and the muffin.

That was my first thought too, maybe a Rick-roll.

Not even Hoffs? Are your bits broken?

Sadly no pictures as I was driving, but two yellow spots on the M25 today: A Ferrari Dino, and a Lamborghini Diablo SV.

Lambo looked like a 4:3 ratio picture stretched to wide-screen.

Saw a green modern Bronco in UK plates.. didn’t realise they sold them over here. Imagine it would make a good towing vehicle… don’t know if it is one, but do hybrids make good towing vehicles?

Saw some Grenadiers in army style at barracks in Minley; I’ve since heard they may be replacing the defenders that the MOD has sold
