Don't anthropomorphise cars; it upsets them.
Re: VIN CODER Birthdays
I know .. but the car is obviously female, remembering its birthday and just look at how may pairs of shoes it has !

Re: VIN CODER Birthdays
That's our esteemed leader with all the shoes - I wonder if *he* has issues.
Re: VIN CODER Birthdays
Hmmm ... good point !
I still think the the OEM 'shoes" are the best.

Born 29/09/89 Registered for use on the road 1/01/90 in Guernsey (uk car)
No issues with shoes here either, the OEM ones plus one spare I picked up second hand. Jet your wardrobe must be full
However 16" tyres (or is that socks) are an issue now, Continental the last big name to supply (I have on mine) aren't available. Next best sock Toyo?

Besides, I've decided today that my car is gender neutral.

Re: VIN CODER Birthdays
Mine was built in August 1990 but was not registered until April 1991, in Turin, to Eddie Irvine. Perhaps that indicates the increasing difficulty BMW encountered in selling this unique but by no means overpowered car. I wonder how much Eddie paid for it?

Very little, if anything at all I imagine, these lucky buggers get given all kinds of stuff to promote.ChrisS wrote:Mine was built in August 1990 but was not registered until April 1991, in Turin, to Eddie Irvine.
