Welcome! Good timing, that's all really. Can't wait to see some pictures; that is a very pretty car IMO :thumbsup:
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 sounds like you aren't so happy about the outcome! But you didn't have to sell it did you? :P :lol:

Hopefully you'll be replacing it with something similarly exciting. :thumbsup:

Hi Iain
Yes, replaced with “something similarly exciting”, as you put it.

The 35iS went on Saturday afternoon.

I picked this little gem (brand new Exige Sport 350) up, the afternoon before the 35iS was collected..

Now I'm beginning to regret not buying it myself; again!
Glad you are happy. I like the "watch the alloys" parking miles from the kerb! :thumbsup:

Like the new one Paul. Are you going to take it on the track?
