I seem to be only person on the planet who has never contracted Covid. Not once!

Maybe I am 'super human' or just been very careful over the last 3 1/2 years! I don't know.

You must be unique amongst Civic Type R drivers. Most have several “social” diseases at any one time, and act as the animal reservoir for covid when it’s between human hosts!

I do, yes. The only thing differentiating me from a 'trader' is that I ALWAYS lose money! It has to stop as the funds are running very low!

Does that make you a gambler or are you laundering money?

Pretty sure it's not a kit; just a bespoke car.....based on the Z4 platform and even more expensive than a real Z8.

I am not a fan of the Z8 either, TBH. Funny looking thing IMO. I know that is blasphemy in the BMW 'Z' world, but I don't give a sh*t!

Neither, mate. Just indecisive!

I used to be indecisive but can't make up my mind anymore!

There was a kit available for the Z3 long before the recent American Z4 / Z8 Zagato creation.
I wouldn’t mind a Z8 for Z3 money, but for the typical Z8 sale price, I would just buy the E-type that they copied when designing it.

When your wife realises how much money you’ve frittered away, you won’t be indecisive so much as in-de-merd

It's OK. My wife is very stupid!

I’d assumed blind and deaf…and probably called Jeff or Nigel!

Even a virus doesn’t want to be seen with you

I was the same. Never had it before, then I took a plane to Italy with the great unwashed onboard

I lasted until the Australian borders opened and international flights resumed. We caught it in the the lounge at Singapore airport on the way back from the UK. I’m certain it was there because none of our friends and family in Europe or Australia became unwell.
I remember there were few attempts to contain coughing and next to no social distancing. At the time it felt like we were floating in a bowl of human soup surrounded by viral particles expectorated from the lungs of our fellow passengers. Over the ensuing three to five days we all became unwell.

Did you get the Z3 yet ?

Look forward to seeing your plan and result

(Another never infested pleb here)

Not yet, no. It needs an MOT (for my peace of mind) and this is being done next week. I have now seen all the paperwork which adds up.

There is no rush from my side, as the Honda probably isn't going until next week and I want to sort my garage out before sticking the Z3 in there. I need to make a new workbench, tidy it up and insulate the ceiling and doors, so I can work in there in the cold.
