Bro Eggie, I take my hat off to you - 190km/h. Steady as she goes. That old gal of yours still runs with the wind huh

 

[Eggie86]

Was whacking the car on the way back from Seremban moments ago. I must apologise for being such a jerk on the highway, although I did indicate each time I wanted to overtake on the left. Couple of occasions got flashed and honked at for coming into the right lane immediately...

Oh well, lane hoggers!

Really able to take the car at higher speeds now, but of course, once it rains, I will slow down and drive sedately. Knowing where one's limits are one certain road conditions play a vital part in daily driving.

specially for you Eggie

 

[Eggie86]

Thanks bro! Have noticed that unit for sale for quite some time already when reading UK back issues... Very nice B12. :love:

Update for today:

Sent car to workshop again this afternoon. Apparently over the weekend, car developed a leaking radiator fault, and when starting from cold, the gear simply refuses to shift from 2nd to 3rd... Goodness. Problem isn't that bad when I leave the engine running for quite some time to warm up... Shall see what the issues are.

Good luck bro eggie! She's an old gal... Needs plenty of gentle care. Don't push her too hard! Hehehe

Thanks bro. Hope it won't be a long hiatus away from the old gal. Should learn to tone down my driving habits a lil... All the gung-ho pedal to metal approach is taking its toll on the Alpina Wannabe.

Haha. Fingers crossed! In the meanwhile, guess it's back to driving the other old gal - Jaaaaaggggg. :biggrin:

Hahaha thanks for the kind words guys... Car still in workshop. Will probably get her back this weekend. Hopefully once and for all get all the problems sorted out and breathe new life yet again to the old girl.

Hmm, 3 months almost up already; about time to send the car for detailing, then apply the pin-stripes!

Nothing much to update bro, besides occasional wash, waiting to send the car for proper detailing job, then once the stripes and emblems are back on, it's really gonna look great! :adore:

 

[wobbles]

How long more before the stripes go back on bro?

 

[BobTheBuilder]

I saw the car today. :4:

First time I see it up close after repaint. Really good looking.

I bet it's gonna look even better with the stripes on.

Haha, I dropped the car off this afternoon. Thanks for the kind words bro. Still got swirls and stuff, but can't wait to send her for detailing, and once the stripes go on, she's gonna be a stunner. :love:

The stripes have been sitting in my room since November man... :biggrin: Still waiting to catch KC to find a time to detail my car.
