Now just reading this diary shows that I’m keen to look after and improve this car. However, I’m also keen to show that the car is here to be used both as a motorsport machine, and as a daily driver.

So I’ve just taken a load of garden waste and a manky, rusty BBQ to the dump in it:

For further amusement I popped into Vines of Guildford with the car full of all this crap. They’re having some works done there so parking is limited, and they’ve got a banksman controlling the traffic. I got a most disapproving “Can I ask the purpose of your visit, sir?”.

For the record, I went there because I’ve been doing a bit of preparation for those 16″ sport evo wheels that I hope to collect soon. They’re black, but will only come with three black centre caps. Over the weekend I sprayed up a spare, and I just needed to grab a new BMW roundel for the centre. Here’s one of the originals, with my sprayed up centre cap awaiting its BMW roundel.
