Tags: Flange hopping , Flange " I have invented a new game - Flange-hopping. This is where you click on any space on the Updated Spaces, and leave a comment saying 'Flange'. Then you go on another random space and do the same again. Over and over and over. It's brilliant! Even if I say so myself, which I just did. Once I finish this blog entry, I'm going on a marathon Flange-hopping session. Hooray for my wasted life!" From Chuff Read more.............................

Seriously can I be bothered to do another logo? er no

Tags: BMW 1 Series , BMW 116 , BMW 116 Sport Now I'm an opinionated sod, that's pretty well established, and its very easy to right off things as being crap, or ugly, or just plain shit. Which makes it all the more relevant when say that the BMW 1 Series is incredibly ugly and the engine in the 116 is absolutely gutless. You may consider these points a big deal and certainly if you are the kind of person who aspires to be one day sat in the weekend sun in your Porsche Boxter with the roof down, then indeed you wont be wanting a 1 series. However those two points aside, I have to say that the 1 series is with out a doubt the best handling car I have driven to date and I once owned a non-chaved Saxo VTR ( this was back in 98 when they still had some cred left (with non chavs)). Once inside the cabin of the one series you can no longer see any of the body work, unless your preferred driving position is that of a praying mantis. The interior in my 116 sport was your typical Japa...

Tags: Beer Belly , Drinking , Tiger Tiger Check out www.the beer belly .com for all your drinking needs... Could be useful for say Tiger Tiger, you could get drunk for cheap. Or maybe while out running, because you only start running if you have a beer belly, so this would help you keep your fluid levels topped up, and in time you'll be able to fit more in when you lose some weight... are there any others?

Tags: BMW Mini , Poor BMW Service , Snows BMW ...... And continue it does. Today got the call from snows , they have replaced the Mini's engine with a new one, apparently the block on this one is the correct length, (still haven't got my copy of the report). Any way I drove down to snows in my car specifically to test drive the Mini, and all seems well. Gearbox now only making a couple of normal sounding mechanical noises when changing gear. No noises when you just depress the clutch ( your a pathetic clutch and the accelerator is much more attractive ). Just to be sure I got them to let me test drive another mini directly afterwards, both make the same apparently Mini type noises, can only be a good thing. New battle now, im quite happy to accept the car assuming they start the TLC pack ( on the engine maintenance only ) for threes on the new engine. After all its a brand spankers Engine clutch and Gearbox. Unreasonable ? don't think so, so tomorrow its on t...

Tags: Wedding pictures , New Place I have updated the wedding pictures online now. They now include photos from Nav, Shara, Simon, Lorna and me. There was 1078 in total you'll be pleased to here that most have been deleted and now its down to 273. they can be found here .

Dammit Just changed it again as it wouldn't work for people using IE ( why would you do that ? )

Tags: BMW Mini , Poor BMW Service , Snows BMW Drove back from our honeymoon, and with the Suitcases still in the back on my 330Ci we headed straight back to Snows BMW. We discover three guys from BMW UK have inspected the mini, And decided that a major manufacturing fault has occured with the construction of the engine. ( Details to follow when I get a copy of the report ). So there we both were Jet lagged and ready for a fight. We threw the gauntlett down and demanded we were leaving the mini with them until they have fixed it and they will be supplying us with a courtesy car until then. They Agreed, bit of a shock that, then they handed over the keys to a Brand new (30 miles on the clock ) BMW 116 Sport. Now we await the delivery of the new engine. No doubt to be continued.............................

Tags: Wedding Pics , San Francisco , USA Quick Update just got back from our Honey moon, so am sitting at PC deperately Jet lagged colating all the wedding pics and the ones I took in San Francisco, the locals like to call it "The City" or "SF" and deffinately not San Fran. I have quickly done a bit of cropped and picked out a few good pics and stuck them up here . Got another 1048 to wade through and delete all the chaff. Will stick up some SF ones laters too! Also some pics on Odd Daves Site here you need to register to be able to view. Also on Marcs Site here

Tags: BMW Mini , Poor BMW Service , Snows BMW The mini is going back to Snows tomorrow night. So that Mr BMW Technical Blokey, can figure out how to get out of not giving us a new car. Personally not fussed about a new car just want the thing mended, I'm not on a crusade to get somthing for free. To be fair though they are fairly incompetent at returning calls all generally thinking for them selves. They couldn't of done anything more than they already have. That said Woods BMW ( where it was bought from originally ) have been informed of whats going on, and if we return from holiday to find the car still knocks we will be rejecting it.

Tags: Highland run , Southsea , Portsmouth Top night out managed not to get fall over in a big pile of drunken mess. Which is a bonus, put entirely down to the zinger burger before hand. Theres a deffinate angry theme in the pics, no idea why that came about. Photos Here Also found the sign for the Jolly Boys Bum Club in the Sir Loin of Beef. odd!
