Good morning all. Half a day on site then an afternoon with the nipper. Can't understand why I live in a place where it's still march in July. Need some warm weather soon.

Morning Sweetie, you still have the yellow peril I take it?
Painting the office today in readiness for the new tenant.
The Audi has been put away in the garage so I am using the GranSport and Spider, mainly the Spider for the month of July.
Day off tomorrow, have ordered all the new ignition parts for the Opel, planning to service and get the old girl running tomorrow, in readiness for her body restoration next year. I want to get all those jobs done so I don't have to do it on the freshly painted body.

A very good morning to all.....
Had a drive in a BMW 640d Gran Coupe yesterday....That is one good diesel engine. It pulled like a train, sounded really good (but I believe BMW push the sound throught he speakers so maybe not real) handles great for a big car, interior was a very lovely place to and for me the best looking car in the BMW range....and it felt as quick as my old E46 M3...How diesels have changed...

Well she's washed an polished not that that will impress the MOT inspector next week.
The embarrassing thing is how few miles she has done since the last MOT less than 450 miles

Needless to say she passed again, why can't Maseratis be as easier to run as this old Alfa ?

Morning all. Day off today. Going to attempt to get the Opel running. Have bought all new ignition system and she has been on charge for a week. I'll see if the MOT station has a place if it goes well.
I am converting the distributor to electronic ignition. It looks like a very simple job.
Oil and filter too once the the oils hot.

Morning all, no sleep last night, I couldn't keep my mind off thinking about choices of Maserati to buy... Absolutely tortured at the moment, weird as it should be easy.
Still trying to sort another policy payment that will make things possible, I have a limiting factor too in that my garage is too shallow for one model unless I moved the doors onto the outside of the structure! I think insurance is only going to be possible if it is garaged at night.
Had a long chat last night with a sage and valued Maserati authority; whatever I go with is going to be a very long term possession which is another consideration.
Today I have an appointment in Highgate and then to Hatfield.
Have fun all...

Morning all. Busy day today of organising non-work stuff.
Busy day of work stuff.
T-12 days until Ibiza.
Dem - I'm not going to Ibiza town or San An, I'm going with my entire family to an all inclusive resort in the North East of the Island.
Should be a nice relaxing break. (Famous last words......).

Yes they do don't they.....must drive a Ghibli to see what it is like....on paper the 640d is a faster car but get it doesn't have the passion on a Maserati. I did sit in a Ghibli at Dick Lovetts on Monday and thought it was a very lovely place to be. Then drove the 640d and struggles to decide which interior was the better one....both very lovely inside.
Plus both cars look pretty amazing...always like the Gan Cab though.
