Someone once asked...
How old I am.
Well I'm 23 now, born July '92.
As for how long I've been "driving" 800's - that's a different story!
It was the day after my 17th birthday that TheOldMan took me for my first lesson on a quiet industrial estate in NOJ his 820 Sterling
But Waaaay back in what looks like 1998/9 I was behind the wheel of an 800 "Granny Grazing"
My brothers were old enough to reach the pedals - I wasn't
According to TheOldMan I was 18 HOURS old when I was first in that 800 - He picked up Mom and I from Hospital in it.
J686 RFX was the registration number. VERY early Mk2 1991 820i Manual saloon in Midnight Blue.
The joke was SUPPOSED to be that I learned to drive in the same car that picked me up from Hospital in. Unfortunately due to a long and windy set of circumstances that didn't happen. Though TheOldMan did say that he would have gone far beyond economical repair to keep that car on the road.
Hope this gave you a smile!

Re: Someone once asked...
Out of curiosity, what date in July Dusan? I had a few strange things happen to me in that month/year, just wondering if any of the dates coincide.

His name is Dusan, not Damien, so I doubt there is any connection with the datesscoobyh123 wrote:Out of curiosity, what date in July Dusan? I had a few strange things happen to me in that month/year, just wondering if any of the dates coincide.

Re: Someone once asked...
Is it wrong I occasionally take perverse pleasure in making others feel their age?

I blame switching between my phone and PC. Both have autocorrect (or autocowrecks as I like to to refer to them).
Neither work the same and on the phone the on board spell check fights the spell checker in Chrome!
I can spell, honest guv'nor

Re: Someone once asked...
Your spelling is normally exemplary mate, that's why i couldn't resist! Especially as (i think) i'm the oldest participant of this thread (at the moment anyway) and having woken up a year older a week ago, i'm definitely feeling it!
I know exactly what you mean about unpredictable text as i call it and as for Smell-Check, i've turned it off on my PCs as it keeps auto-correcting to the US spellings despite me changing all the settings to UK/GB English. None of them work out when you've written something totally nonsensical as long as it's spelled right, whether that's En-GB or En-US.
