    Random post thread

    Having nowhere to put the phone in the cars was becoming annoying so I got these magnetic vent holders recently.

    Have to say I’m pretty impressed and it’s much better than the phone ending up in the passenger footwell

    Thought I’d throw this up here in case it’s of us to anyone else

    Thanks. I was actually conversing with a Swiss dealer this week. Turns out he had my E12 B7 before I did and then had my Alpina E21 after I had that one. Small world.

    The legendary John Harold Haynes passes away on Friday.
    His books will continue to help many people (like me) for many years to come.

    I don’t like the direction things are going at all at all. Insurance companies that want to put trackers in your car, automatic speed limiters, average speed cameras etc Scotland freaked me out to be honest... A9 was 100 miles of continuous speed cameras, and generally speaking I’ve never seen so many cameras in a place... maybe London but Jesus this isn’t normal, how are people ok with this level of interference and nannying in their life..?

    Couldn't have said that better myself. I am not okay with it. What rips my knitting is it's a crowd of corrupt people dictating how the average Joe should behave. Also you can bet there have been heavy brown envelopes to certain companies to manufacture this tech or provide it.
