I really wanted a strut brace for my E28, trouble is they're £150 for a proper adjustable alloy one like I wanted... like the one I'd left on my last 528i when I sold it. Not wanting to spend another £150, I spent £250 instead... Well, £300 including fuel and trailer hire. Hmmm.
Here's how it happened, cruising the interweb a few weeks ago I spotted the very same BMW that I sold, no, could it be? Like an old girlfriend who I had unfinished business with I couldn't resist and sent the owner an email.
How we met, originally I bought it for £600 two years ago in west London, ran it around for eight months, clocked 20k in it and sold it for £600 to a guy local to me in Minehead, he put it through a MOT a few months ago which cost him £500 and soon after blew the head gasket after ignoring a failed water pump.
I offered him £250 there and then which he declined, after getting two mates to bid against me in a 'bay based love triangle, I ended up collecting it the other night for £250.
Like an old girlfriend though, you pretty soon remember why you broke up. So I quickly changed the plan from get back together to one night stand...
Locked and loaded, we had a fish and chip supper on Minehead sea front to talk about old times.
It all went pretty well and I ended up taking it home, I know I shouldn't, but I'm weak and have needs. Forgive me.
The following morning I realised I'd lost all my respect for it though, it just wasn't the same and the good times we'd had were gone. Over breakfast we had a chat, and I explained my situation.
It took it pretty hard, it's dignity was gone and it just fell apart in front of me.
I'm not bitter, I've got memories and a few things left to remember it by...
But if I can't have it, nobody will...
