@candvbmw I hate to do this again… but that’s not an M3. BMW didn’t make a four-door M3 in the E46 generation

@candvbmw Think that’s a Schnitzer tuned 330Ci or 330Cd, definitely not an M3 based model. Still a lovely car though!

@candvbmw Lovely advert. Pretty sure all 3.0LA models were on the Zenith carbs though, the only fuel injected E3s were the 3.0Si and the 3.3Li. 1184 RHD 3.0LAs were made in Germany between Jan '75 and Feb '77.

@RoundhouseLDN @thedamned Gutted

Sadly, tonight’s performance of @thedamned (Thursday 19 December) has had to be cancelled due to illness. If you booked tickets through Roundhouse, we will be back in touch directly otherwise, please be in contact with the ticket agent you booked through.

@Scrof Amazing effort Al, keep going! Hope the feet recover soon

Walking from London to Southampton: Day 5. Done. That’s the furthest I’ve walked in a day. There are… many sore bits. It’s been challenging. But as we’ve learned, it’s only impossible until it’s done. Now look at this fading grande dame I found opposite my Airbnb tonight!

@jakebeldercars Worst I have seen in a long, long time. Yeah, really bad. It had a 90% rating on rotten tomatoes and 7/10 on IMDb… completely lost faith in ratings/review sites!

@m5bob There are a *lot* of films in the world. To be prepared to label something the 'worst', it must be really, really bad.

Top tip. If you’re ever tempted to watch The Northman on Amazon… don’t. Worst film I’ve ever watched.

@AntonyWrites Precisely. Looks like brilliant vfm to me if you want a new car

@AntonyWrites Honda e is £38k with similar range!

@nayf_cars Worth it just so you can tell people that your daily is a Miura!

I’m not sure I can fit this in the hold on the way back but I’d like to

@littlea_me I’m not an expert, but they can be expensive to run and some replacement parts are hard to find. Would be happy to ping you some old buying guides from my BMW magazine days if you DM me an email address.

Anyone know much about BMW 840ci's? What to look out for?

@Steffharvey I think I have found your bank card in Dulwich Park. DM me if you haven’t cancelled it.

@JesseCrosse I’ve always liked this one

That’s what I like. Clear and concise packaging.

@jrendell @Keith_Adams___ I'm south of the river within the current ULEZ so definitely possible. I did find that getting cover for occasional business use was night on impossible though!

@m5bob @Keith_Adams___ Relieved to hear it is possible for some. But not for me in NW6, Club insurance through Markerstudy. Very firm ‘no’. I’d best shop around this summer.

@jrendell @Keith_Adams___ I'm with Footman James and they insure my classic with on-road parking 24/7. Need access to another (ie. non-classic) car though.

@Keith_Adams___ Very difficult (impossible?) to qualify for classic car insurance when parking overnight on-street in London. Live in outer London (where garages are more common) and drive over the ULEZ boundary and yes, this could work. But feels like a niche of a niche.

@TheDanProsser Happened to me about 20 years ago when the cops rang the bell and asked me if I'd used my E34 M5 in a ram-raid in Glasgow the previous night. Given the undamaged M5 was sitting outside the house it seemed like a bit of a silly question!

Police knocked on our door at 1.30am last night. That gets the old ticker going… Turns out our T-Roc’s plates had been cloned. That or Imogen was involved in a high-speed pursuit through Bristol while I slept.

@Andrew_F_1106 @Keith_Adams___ I also live in the ULEZ… just checked the plate and it’s compliant.

@_theintercooler Alfasud 1.5ti. Might have only morphed into a hatch in its twilight years but it’s still the seminal Italian hot ‘hatch’. Dynamically still one of the best handling machines ever made.

Now it is the time for the Italians to enter the Hot Hatch World Cup! So many to choose, from Fiat, Alfa, Lancia and maybe even an Autobianchi. Reply with your vote now.

@ThePollitt Nice one, congratulations! Looks like there could be space for table football… we could get the band back together 😂

@bignell_s Thanks Simon, will take a look.

@m5bob Not sure where you are in the South East, these guys are classic car restoration specialists. fourwaysgroup.co.uk

Looking for bodyshop recommendations in the south east. Nephew always wanted a W123 and bought one that’s a bit rough around the edges. Needs wheelarches and a few other bits and bobs sorting out. Would love some recommendations on places that are happy to tackle rusty classics!
