Having said that I had a Peugeot 405 GTD turbo, it was a really good car, and reliable.

As above, mind you a good rule of thumb is the further from Germany the greater the chance of automotive failure

Well done BMW.
As a side note, The Wife's 1996 FIAT punto is still alive...

Its amazing how well cars last these days; back in the 80s a ten year old Fiat was close to being scrap.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, nowadays they are already scrap brand-new, so you don't notice the deterioration.

My fun car was built around then on a 1961 MG engine. Last year the head gasket blew; it was the original. Apart from a tendency to get holes in the radiator and an idiot [me] cracking one of the front mudguards, the cars great.

Sorry to hear that it's come to the end of its useful life. Here's[^] my '91 325iX. I continue to drive it every day.

Thats in very good nick, even the tool tray plastic strap hasnt bust! You must live somewhere dry and warm.
Odd car though, LHD but with miles and kilometers on the speedo? Is it an import into a country that uses miles?
--edirt--
Seeing your profile I see you are In Canada, that explains the LHD and miles combo, but not the heat! 
amazing you have kept it so good. Well done!

I bought the car when I lived in Mass, USA. Cars sold in Canada don't have dual km/miles per hour dials on the speedo. She's always been handwashed and waxed every year. Runs beautifully, but has lost some compression over the years. No rust (so far!).

Especially when the coders don't think too hard!
Amazon sent me an email today, with a books list - Sous Vide Cookbooks if you must know - and I followed a few of the links.
One of them looked good, but had a warning: "Ordering for Christmas? This item requires additional time to dispatch and will arrive after December 25."
And in little letters quite a distance away: "Publication Date: 17 April 2014"
So...might not arrive in time then...

Maybe they mean after December 25 2014

Is it me or is CodeProject flying after that little down period a short while ago?
I think maybe Chris received a brand new batch of super hamsters.

No, Sean has threatened to wear the Mankini again if they didn't buck their ideas up.

There lies the problem. Sean has the draft that requires signing, but will only let people near it on Fridays. Casual[^] Fridays...

Chris! Quick - employ Stevie Wonder and Helen Keller!

Wouldn't they have to feel their way around the mankini?

That, I suggest, is their problem. They knew the risks when they took the job!

OT, your link reminded me, where is Luc nowadays?

And it's possible he was right - we do get a lot more garbage than we did "when I were a lad"...

When you were a lad there was no intarweb, it was all on punched cards!
That said, when I was a lad 'bleeding edge' was mag tape.
