Neil's Cars, Aviation & Travel

Neil's Cars, Aviation & Travel

I have always been a car nut, and since 1994 when I passed my test I have owned over 100 cars.

Growing up we used to travel to Germany a lot by car, and the first time we ever flew I was terrified. I never really lost that feeling well into my 20s, but then I got a job which included travel to places like the USA, where I had no option but to fly.

Over time I earned enough frequent flyer points to start booking premium cabins, and with that I started to enjoy the experience, not only of flying, but the lead up to it.

I’m not totally over my fear, but along with cars and travel, I wanted to share my experiences with everyone else.

    A filter will make it sound nice but unlikely to give any real power gains on its own.

    Oh dear, the breakfast is now awful, changed everything. Can't ask for what you want, fixed on a silly board. Got one fried egg one sausage. Bacon and one sad toast. No orange juice not even jam for bread. They filled the plate with roast potatoes, I kid you not. Mushrooms were half cooked. No yoghurts or croissants . A tour group got a really good breakfast in a separate area with all the trimmings, visible for all to see. Forget, stay in bed an extra hour and eat on land.

    Interesting to see you didn't disconnect the harness completely. @GeorgeAusters video shows a complete left side disconnect and fold over to the right side of the bay to get the manifold out. How easy was it to remove the manifold with just lifting the modules in the JBox and disconnecting the connectors close to the manifold? I'm going in to swap out the manifold next week as I have the same leak at the swirl flap actuator (why BMW can't let you just change the o-rings is beyond me).
