Not yet. Waiting for the MOT to be renewed on Monday. Assuming that is all OK should get it Thursday. Having an emailed 'discussion' at the minute with the seller regarding distance selling regs just in case it all goes wrong. :roll:

Being a nurse to the wife is not the best way to spend a birthday, but never mind. :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Well, it's getting closer. I hope your wife recovers soon. Happy Birthday, anyway! :happyclap:

Happy birthday, look after your wife and just count yourself lucky she managed to resist temptation and let you see another one :lol: whether you see the next one may be up for debate if she sees any of your comments about her :wink:

    Bought the G29 and a ZX10r via distance selling, the bike about 9 years ago. Phone calls, videos and emails. Both times once all was agreed I summarised all the agreed points in a final email and asked them to return it confirming the points were all as agreed. Printed out and kept just in case.

    Wise move. I am trying to do similar (nothing unreasonable just pointing out the law and that we both need to abide by it).

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. I've had all my friends texting me this morning. That took nearly a minute out of my day. :D

    Very difficult to squirm out of anything if it is all agreed and there is electronic and hard copy evidence. :D
