Storage - special rates by BMW

Thought I'd update you all on my run of luck with Cesil...or lack of it.

She went in for a service at Elms. I'd been experiencing the infamous graunching between 3rd and 4th and it had got worse, so finally it was down for a new gearbox. That was at the end of June. A few bits and pieces needed doing - in fact, more than a few, so almost £2k later and in September, I went to pick her up.

I drove her home, left her sat for a week and then planned to drive to a place in Cambridge to put her into storage. However, on the way over, I heard a distinct knocking noise from the engine. Pulled over, figured it was the bottom end. Towed my car in to Elms (with the wife's car - Megane RS is a surprisingly good tow car). Diagnosed with big end shells gone, I think. So now another good few weeks off the road.

However, Gareth doing a good job as always, she'll be shiny and good once fixed and I don't have to pay for storage in the meantime.
