He did ask tentatively about driving it I showed his the No under 25’s clause on the insurance and that’s kept him at bay.Nanu wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 7:41 pmIt's not the club run he is interested in it's the car when he turns 17Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 3:26 pm Glad you’re enjoying it and a great way to bond with your boy.

Hard for kids these days to get reasonable insurance for sure - my lad was paying thousands but he did drive a 420d with performance kit when he was 18Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 8:37 pmHe did ask tentatively about driving it I showed his the No under 25’s clause on the insurance and that’s kept him at bay.Nanu wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 7:41 pmIt's not the club run he is interested in it's the car when he turns 17Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 3:26 pm Glad you’re enjoying it and a great way to bond with your boy.

Looks great - keep it standard is my commentCuprat wrote: ↑Thu May 27, 2021 2:19 pm Hi all
I recently bought TeeMacs car (E39 35is) having seen it advertised on here.
Nearly had it a week and as it’s stopped raining now I’ve had it machine polished and given it a clean. Car was a credit to TeeMac.. For a 10 year old car it was in great condition. I’ll move onto sorting the seat bolsters wear in a week or 2 then the car will be as perfect as I want it to be …. for now
Had my first open to drive in it and loving the sound of the engine and the way the car drives. Car gets loads of compliments which had surprised me. Had 3 neighbours stopping to talk about it which hasn’t happened with any of the other cars I’ve owned. My 12year old is also loving it which is one of the reasons I bought the car…. bit of father and son bonding time now ive retired.
Sorry for the poor pictures but here he is

I dunno, Mr T. I find those a whole lot of fun (maybe I'm not normal though).
But, yes OP, it is a very good natured forum. They are a very hard bunch to get riled, so happy days
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Very nice looking Zed in a lovely colour combination.
I like the silver mirror caps. Sets it apart from the lower spec models. Had them on my S5 with window surround and that looked nice.
Glad you’re enjoying your new purchase.
