Incredibly clever bit of kit from America arrived this week. Bluebus plugs in to the telephone and cd changer plugs on the X5 and makes it have bluetooth audio streaming via the original sound system. Basically a brand new car now!

They are brilliant. I really need to use mine more.

Literally any excuse to drive it 😂 Ps to all those people who said I should try one. Bloody hell, you were right.

People buy a house in the middle of a city then demand sole use of the roads outside it.... 🧐

Over 100 Bow residents walked along Tredegar Road and down Antill Road to protest against the new council's proposal to reverse the Liveable Streets schemes @LonGreenParty @TH_Labour @CllrNathalieB @TheGreenParty @THLivingStreets @TowerHamletsNow

Anyone want a cheap dateless private plate? £750 (would consider Xbox, Reliant Rialto etc in part exchange)

Not a Special Vehicle (962).

BMW update: after a year of looking I finally found the parts needed to retrofit a heated steering wheel (the one missing option I wanted). After some spannering, and laptop action to reset numerous warning lights, IT WORKS!

Think it may be time to say goodbye to the TT. No real reason other than me trying to be sensible, and that it should go to someone who uses it more than I do. 2005, 225bhp, 107,000 miles. Sliiiide into the DMs if interested. (Plate not included…)

His car isn't ULEZ compliant.

Johnson lives rent free at Downing St and Chequers. He's had help paying grocery bills, decorating costs and holiday expenses and yet says he needs £300,000 a year - nearly twice what he gets paid - just to get by. What on earth is he spending his money on?



If you'd like to own a Volvo S90 that was once described as being specified to "absolute bloody perfection" by @MttRbnsn and spent a few months in my custody, then look no further.... autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…


Today I rolled around on the floor covered in oil, all in the name of maintenance.

This chap often forgets what he's driving so needs a handy reminder....

I love that truly irrational cars can still exist. Let the combustion engine go out with a bang, not a droning four-pot whimper. If you're hand-wringing about it not being an EV then it's probably not for you.

Ummm... maybe, just try it?
