Picked up my baby from BMW on the thursday and was hit with a £1,000 service bill. Was shocked but went sod it off to Le Mans tomorrow so bring it on.

Car was running beautifully, max'd it out at 140mph, then 1 hour into france and bang! into a roundabout and cruched the wheel, suspension subframe and panel. Rollout barriers pop up and blow the stiching on the plastic at the back off the softtop. 2 hrs waiting for the towtruck, the 1 hr into BMW Amiens for a Euro 2,000 quote.

Bloody expensive w/end but still made it to Le Mans in the hire car and a fantastic weekend.

Bring on next year!
