Man after my own heart!!!Fortunately the bathroom was brand new and I changed the cooker/hob/hood in the first week so nothing going on the lawn except 6 Land Rovers in various states of broken
Well here's the weird thing.
In the early 90s I was feeling a bit flush so went to a Classics and Vintage garage and did something I'd never done before, I treated my self to an old Beemer. A mk1 528. Green. Very nice motor, went like stink.
After about 1 1/2 years got fed up of the fool consumption and various niggly problems so I flogged it through a mate who did valeting. told him he'd get 10% of whatever he flogged it for.
I paid £650 of thereabouts when i bought it.
When I gave said mate the keys to it he said "If I were you, I'd keep the keyring, might be worth a bob or two." Thought not much of it but did as he said.
He flogged it we were both happy and I chucked the keyring in a drawer and forgot about it.
Today, came across it and out of curiosity did a search ont internet.
Here's mine
Nothing special I thought until I found this......

FUCK!
And he has loads of key-rings advertised, only one other matches it in price, a Porsche.
I is hanging on to it. Mine is just as good condish as his.
I am watching it on the Bay and if it comes in at the price than that is twice what I paid for the BM and exactly what I paid for the last Disco I bought.
Mad or what!
(I know, it won't happen, bla bla bla!!!)

Messaged the seller, he was very friendly.
But then noticed my pooter's screen was locked to ebay. couldn't get out of it except by pushing the "off/on" button and then coming back on.
Well weird!

Fool tank has sprung a leak, bastid. That's another wedge I hadn't planned on spending before Crispmus (yeah, I know, shouldn't have bought a bloody Tratter..) The floor will be coming out, so at least I can replace the diff lock switch at the same time. Silver linings hey?

Afternoon folks.
Nice bright day today.
So me Booooosted arm aches and I have a slight niggly type headache, But have been out and done some work to try and take me mind of it.
Got the quad and some straps and went out to drag a couple of fallen trees in to cut up, They were fruit trees on our boundary. They have been down now for a couple of years and nobody seems to want them so thought well they are mine now. They fell over cos they died so yes pretty rotten but still 80% wood.
Got 1 1/2 cut up but am now to the point where I have to play "mad axeman" so have called it a day, Its Nice solid wood and is pretty seasoned in age so will just need to dry a bit maybe. There is probably a weeks worth when its all loaded in the trailer so not bad for free.
May upset "tuffty" at some point cos I have a stash of his acorns in my garden now.
So now sitting down supping a Sunday afternoon beer before I go and make up some coleslaw.
Hope everybody is having a pleasant day. Has anybody built a snowman yet.

The tank not the toof!!
Sorry about the linky. Not my fault, dumbass eBay. so to let you know, the dealer has his up for £1250. and a load of others for strong money including one Porsche one for the same price. Apparently it is a very rare BMW motorsport one from 60s/70s.Linky isnt worth a ****, Mind you nors the key ring but then theres nowt stranger than collectors
