VERY VERY nearly finally bought another car

I know you were looking for a coupe or saloon a few weeks back so not suprised.

That is not something I want to contemplate - mores sensors to go pop

I'm sure you'll enjoy the experience

As I've said on a number of occasions, owning an Alpina is like being a member of White's whereas ownership of an ///M is akin to being a regular at Stringfellows...

are you saying I don't get a lifetime honorary membership when I purchase? I thought that was part of the extortionate purchase price. Bugger.
BTW I had to look up White's

Everybody I've spoken to today I have told I'm buying an Alpina. One said "isn't that part of Renault?", one said "I vaguely remember that name from the '80s", the others said "what colour is it, and what's an Alpina?"

I need new friends and acquaintances

You have friends

Not surprising that many don't recognise Alpina its a rare beast and Alpine has made a big fuss with the relaunch and now F1 so easy to confuse

Got one less now, as I gather my mate MAD has been banned. Bit harsh IMO.

He has, initially funny but started to wear thin on quite a few people especially when he was starting numerous threads for no real reason, one whacky thread you could avoid if you want but just got too much with new threads constantly

That looks like a lovely car - I hope all goes well with the MOT.

Sadly I won't see you at White's as apparently I'll be in Stringfellows!

Nice one Pondrew.

I hope that it all works out well for you.

It's Ok mate, you can be my +1. I'll get you the cravat. I can clean your 224s while you 'network'. I like to do my bit for the lower classes; call it giving something back

Thanks for the offer, but networking with posh people isn't my idea of a fun night out!

You’ll be fine Iain, no need to worry about that as you’ll be with Pond

To be fair Andy that's what I'd be worried about! He might want to network with his MAD mate. But hopefully my wheels would keep him busy.

The wife is out of hospital and in her drug-induced state has given the all clear for the purchase (not that I would have listened if she hadn't) so I have paid a deposit on the BMW Alpina B3 discussed earlier in this thread.

Is it a happy birthday? Did you get the Alpina?
