With my track record, you could maybe buy it off me for £17.50 next year (or sooner) :D
I will make an offer of £14.95 - need to feel I have had a bargain :rofl:

Although I guess this will be another old man’s gearbox as well
I like you Paul. I shouldn't but I do! :thumbsup:

Thanks Iain. It's life mate. There will be a next time. I need to bide my time more. Impatience is not a good trait but I am learning (slowly).
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Funny I had the same conversation with the dealer today. The answer was the same.................

I see that you are a 'Lifer' now Andy with 5 stars. I didn't realise it was based on how many cars you bought in a year. This particular car looks very nice. You will come to love Cognac leather. I will await the inevitable comment on the previous line. :D

I saved a couple of pics of the new 'pimp-mobile' before the ad was pulled. So here it is:
I spent some time putting the VIN through to see what it has. I added it up to £9,870.00 of options, many the stealers didn't know about. :D
Adaptive dampers and adaptive steering too, although after reading the problems with dampers on here I'm not too overjoyed.
It's got a DVB TV tuner! I thought they went out of fashion in 1997!

Nice that, you just need a Huggy bear coat and shades and you can drive it in style.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

Yep I lose mirrors all the time on my van, knocked one of 2 days ago went to find it but couldn't decide which was mine as there were so many lying on the road on top of each other. :headbang:

That's a very nice car Pondrew, :thumbsup: it would be my choice after the Z4 if they weren't so dam expensive to buy. Luckily the wife likes them also, so, who knows.

Yes mate, they ain't cheap (but what is these days)? The most expensive car I've ever 'bought'. Had many new cars over the past 15 years, but they were all leased, so were never mine.
A bit late now but if you are anywhere near Exeter (Aylesbeare?), you could have test driven it for me! :)
