i havent used my 5 for about 10 months 
it needs loads doing that i cant see getting done for a while.
tax, mot, rebuild gearbox with some mods, new clutch master, make a new charge cooler, pls more i cant remember.
but i got my m3 sorted and mot'd yesterday, gunna tax it tomorrow and start using it again. its not been used for about 5 months lol
and i cant wait. took it to the mot station the other day and i dunno if its cos i havent driven it for a while, or the fact that i got 3 new coils and all the fault codes deleted (made it run noticeably better at idle when it was done) but it felt so feckin fast lol

been using the 3dr for work these last few weeks with a saph rear light cluster cable tied on
fucking insurance still hasnt sent the cheque through!
only had 1 dry day tho, and its a bit of a handful to drive, as every time it comes on boost the rear end wants to go past

Mines been off road for bloody months, can't remember when I last drove it I'm doing a few bits (Non performance) under the engine, which I started before Xmas and haven't had a chance to finish it yet 
not sure if I'm gonna bother bringing it out this year

Hopefully getting mine finished this month, sick of driving a boring car feeling like any other pleb on the road.
Just hope nothing unexpected arises that means i can't get her done, deadlines the 23rd Feb and its quickly approaching
