Used to camp in France all the time as a kid, hope to do the same with my family. A little more rustic than a modern European holiday./

How old are you Zlatanariyan?

And what were you called previously on here?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Almost 45 mate.

Can't remember ally usernames but was Falmaria previously. Didn't work out
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah yes I remember. How is it being 45? 30 scares me tbh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Just happens tbh. Interests and priorities change without you realising. Besides kids make you old not age IMO.

Hardest thing was that the day I hit 40 I felt aches and pains

You still jump out of bed as if 18 but know you are 40 on landing

"a huge didgeridoo festival"


Sounds pretty gay

They gave me a Z4 when my 320d was getting some work done, it was $hit, flat as a fart

yeah, its not always aboute value of the car, its all about whats selling in the market.
BMW sell more used vehicles than new ones, so we basically have them to stick 6 thousand miles on, then they go to auction.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Decent, shame you never get to own it though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
wouldnt want to mate.
I dont have to pay tax, insurance or have any upkeep on it.
i basically have to stick fuel in and thats it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice. Is it a crap job working in a dealership?

I hate the sales people in there these days, they annoy the hell out of me. Assume you are going to buy, put little to no actual effort into customer service.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I dont work in a dealership mate, i work at the distribution centre, every car that comes into the country comes through us to have PDI check done and an AUC check before they go to auction.

When you are a child, you plan for the next hour.
When you are a young teen, you plan for later that day.
When you are a young adult, you plan for the weekend.
When you are in you did twenties, you plan for next year.
When you are in the thirties, you plan for the future.
When you are in your forties, you start to plan for your retirement.

Depressing isn't it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I semi retired about 10 years ago. Basically my disabled lad came along. Prognosis was bad and they didn't give him a chance. Still here and made me rethink things

Had the whole perfect job, nice car etc and panicked initially on thought of giving it up. But work for myself and so far been fortunate.

Dont stress like I used yo and pretty much try and live for the now.

Sounds proper life-changing

MX5's are great little cars, pretty bulletproof

It was mate. Everything I thought mattered didn't. Had been so busy with career and nice house, nice cars etc but hadn't spent nearly enough time with those I was doing it for ie the kids

Yeah need to get me a classic

Anyone ever done the whole kit car thing?

Enjoying my Scirocco now tbh... very fun to drive... also I am 100% converted to DSG

Honda S2000 very under rated car.

Always had a thing for not the run of the mill sports cars

So Nissan skylines/ 350z etc over porches etc

Only ever came close to buying a scirrocco and a corrado. Never had one or drove one

Zlat... the main tube from the expansion tank is very easily squeezed... like I can squeeze it tight with the engine running.

Let it run a bit and just do it 2/3 times. Just helps out trapped air.

Let engine run and water in tank should start bubbling. That's just air coming out

Keep lid off obviously

Oh, will have to try again later... just ran it for like a minute and squeezed the tube a bit.. .
