Ok,

On the Car front..

1. Build my 335i (track and "Sunday" car)

2. Get the Scab up to 120% of its UK combined MPG (i'm currently at 117%)

3. Locate a Diseasal for a daily driver- starting from 60 UK mpg should make it easier on my pocket.

On a personal level

1. Get a LOT fitter- aiming to lose a few Stones (esp for the fuel saving!)

2. Find a nice property to buy so I can start setting up to be "Off Grid" (time to put the Energy and Environmental Management Wasters into use)

3. Go to more Gigs

4. More Tracktime

5. Finish the white 320 e30

6. Spend less time worrying and more time doing
Car

1.I bought the 535i instead!

2. Scab replaced by the iS-trundling along nicely at similar mpg,but higher %above epa

3.got scared off by dpf/turbo failure -sticking to stuff I can fix with hammers

Personal
1.fitter but still fat!

2.still in the same flat as last year-really should save a deposit..

3.made more gigs

4.lots more tracktime due to having BMW's as only cars in the fleet!

5.the 320 got an mot and was fun over the summer-many jobs to do over the winter..

6. This worked! Alpine trip and some other decisions working well-need to keep it up
