Excellent. I had a E28 with a straight 2.8l engine. Smooth as a glass of Guinness! But 4mpg when floored. 😂 Definitely fun to drive though.

A warm session at the Naze on tuesday. No pied flycatcher for me, but plenty of chiff chaff families, spotted flycatchers and a juvenile green woodpecker. The sand martin colony looks like Petra from the Last Crusade! #birds #ukbirds #essexbirding
