So, this is the all-new BMW 1 Series, which came out last year and has slowly started appearing on UK roads. I’ve spotted I few of them myself, usually running into the same three or four cars. Now, the coronavirus pandemic means that there is much less traffic on the road. However, over the past few days I have noticed one particular example; a grey sports version with a big plastic-chrome grill and giant fake air intakes. What are my thoughts on the car? Well, it looks bad in the pictures and it looks even worse in person.

This picture I took a few days ago is when I was trying to disconnect the battery cables from my 306. The negative terminal came off easily, but the positive was rusted in. After a lot of work I finally disconnected the battery, however, I lack the tools to unscrew the battery holders. The battery I unscrews was completely dead and even broke the fuse of the battery charger when I turned on the ignition.
