It's been 25 degrees here all week, ideal for the Z4 but sod's law we've had visitors so have had to use the shopping car! Only good thing is it'll be 25 degrees this coming week as well .... and the week after ... and .... :D

Well I got out in the M despite having my Mum and Step Father here and fixing my Ex wifes lawn mower ( :lol: ) . . . .and having my Daughter in Law, Son in law and new Grand-daughter visiting.

Turns out I've never taken my Son in law out in the M :o :roll: :rofl: so was a great chance to let him see what it could do :wink: :lol:

He was impressed and I had a great time - made them late for their next family visit but the engine needed to be warmed up before opening it up and of course that takes time and . . . . . the very long way round. :wink: :driving: :thumbsup:

Didn't have time to help me clean it when we got back though . . . but that's probably for the best - would have made me very nervous and we may have fallen out :lol:

Beautiful weekend . . . made even better :thumbsup:

sounds like fun Paul, my ex wife's broomstick developed a misfire once but I didn't volunteer to fix it.
I was secretly hoping it would get worse (at high altitude) :rofl:

:lol: Not quite the same situation with my ex (Now, the Mother in Law - she really does have a broomstick :rofl: )
Now have an appointment to take out my Daughter in Law in the M after she's heard about the drive with her hubby . . . that'll do as an excuse to get on the road :thumbsup:

I don't think pauls ex-wife is now his mother in law (although I did think this on first reading)
If that was the case I think Paul would be posting post humously :P
I've been in a fairly serious situation myself once, I was letting out a flat I owned (to mrs smartbear) when I was requested to look at the heating which had developed a problem
I never returned home to my mrs after that :D
