Ok. Truth is. I CBA to do my own work on my car. You don't have great nails like mine by covering them in grease and grime. I'm sure racechick will side with me on this one. (Someone has got to!!)

Well I can partially side with you. I can't change oil. I don't know which bit the oil goes in and I'd be scared of doing car things wrong. So I wouldn't build or fix a car. If it broke down, I'd just wait till someone else could fix it. But I'm into upcycling furniture and also old jeans...that's my latest project.
But on nails....I rarely get them done , rarely file or cut them, so they're quite long but not all the same shape. And when I garden, as I did yesterday, they get a a bit more ragged and dirty. Lol so LRW, I'm Sure you have prettier nails than me.

And here I am being proud of myself understanding what CBA stands for, despite never coming across it before.

Does it ever rain in Malaysia? It does, almost everyday! The car is shielded from the rain. There's a big roof which you can't see in the pic.

On another note, I got a buyer for the engine and gearbox. Had to lower my price to RM1300. Ah well.
Oh! I went for the BMW Club annual dinner last Saturday, and won a voucher worth RM2000 for these LingLong high performance tyres.
A voucher I'm reselling for about RM1600....since I don't like the sound of 'LingLong' (not racist, just feel it doesn't go well with BMW) and also they're for 18" rims. 245/45R18 100W Crosswind if you want to google them.
I'm still considering between Michelins or Continental. Depends which is a better deal at the outlet I guess.

Since You're all about show and not about go. Get yourself a set of Continentals DWS. They're all season tires, really good in the wet and have pretty decent dry performance, I've been using them on my daily driver for a number of year. They should be way less expensive that similar sized Michelin. Since snow isn't a problem for you, I found a nice tires, much cheaper than both and it's a good "hot" summer tire, and fantastic in the wet. Firestone, Firehawk Indy 500. I'm using it on the Mercedes and I'm very happy with the cost vs. performance about 25% less than the Contis or Michelins in the same size.

Hammer I think your car is broken at the moment. Don't take my word on this though, I'm not an expert.

I know you lot, especially LRW and racechick have been waiting with bated breath for updates here ....well 1 update today - gave my new rims away for refurbishing/painting. Have decided to paint the face of the rims glossy black, leaving the sidewalls chrome. Car is still in the workshop for probably another 2 weeks. I'm starting to get withdrawal symptoms.

Lol. Sounds like it's coming along. I'll get really interested when it's looking pretty. . The hands dirty, enginey bits.......not so good for me.

Believe I thought about it long and hard....but the combo of a black car, greyish rims and black tyres....doesn't work very well in my head.
