Default Driving to work today....

I had an 'energetic' drive to work today...showing an M3 the power of the mighty Cosworth on the A33...

Just looked out the window and it has leaked radiator fluid all over the carpark... I've checked and a hose is split. Typical! Still could have been worse...

Are these cars a labour of love or what?!!

owning a cossie is like Marmite - you either love it or hate it.

m3 beaten, but it was a tough fight! The Cossie blew a hose trying and then developed a missfire...

Still, its all fixed ready to fight another day
