    📓 Journals Observations on i4 re round trip to South of France

    One of the OPs oringinal complaints was not knowing the speed limits. If that is an issue, then Waze resolves that. It is also more interactive than Google Maps as a lot of real time data is crowdsourced. As a choice I use Waze Only exception to this, is when navigating via multiple waypoints to...

    2nd check engine light in less than 500 miles

    The Noco G5 is just a trickle charger, so no, not a battery charger. My I4 gets left about 5-6 days between drives, its become a weekend car unfortunately and I do not use the trickle charger for that period of time and have no issue I'd suggest there is an underlying issue, not battery...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Sounds like we both drive the car very similarly. Although mine will only ever see a track from the side lines. Best my car can hope for is some spirited driving on UK country roads, which wont exactly be high speed

    As the title suggests, wondered how people got their Forum name? Some seem quite obvious, but others less so For me, I've used this on forums for about 20yrs. It comes from me spending a lot of time at the beach as a kid and owning a T-Shirt that had Beachbum in big letters on it. From there...
