Well the E85 has been collected by its new ownerπŸ˜‚.
Nice to meet Nick today. Hope he enjoys it.
On to pastures new, and if all goes to plan will pick up the30i tomorrow πŸ˜€
Be interesting to feel the difference, not only in the extra power, but the overall feel.
Excited is the word.

It’s a sad day indeed when you wave it off down the road 😒 I feel your pain. There are still moments now when I see an 85 and think I wish I could of afforded to keep it and buy the 89.

How far away have you got to go to pick yours up ? I picked mine up from just north of Manchester and drove back to Essex through the mini beast from the east, trying as I might to dodge the gritters on the motorways.

Enjoy your drive back with it.

Collecting from London
So about 3-3.5 hrs
Will be happy once I get well away from London.
Far to busy for us Devonians 😎
