So what now?

I looked longingly at an E90 M3 (v8) earlier this week (on Collecting Cars) which I’ve always fancied. But then came to my senses. Why do I want 4 doors?! And a permanent roof?! I was ok after a lay down. Thanks for asking.

Good luck with the search. Looking forward to seeing what you choose….

You made me google

Have you been having lessons with Scuby?

Bloke who's buying the 440i lives near you (said he's from Reigate, or Gatwick as the rest of the world knows it).
You may know him; he had a Z4MC a few years ago and was a member on here (also had a Z3M breadvan which he sent to Cloggland to be sorted out?)

No such thing as a cheap bike anymore.
I sold a mint low mileage Kawasaki Z1000 DAF five years ago now for £5,300. Same bike will be £7k now with more miles and five years older!

Let my RD250LC go for £500.-- in 1984. They are £6K + now

I thought that idea of selling had gone out the window ?

Sounds like I just bought it...
(I haven't!)
Congrats on the sale

You’re the first one I thought of under the bread van descriptor

and of course Congratulations on selling the 440i Pondrew, SL500 perhaps

Nah!
Unfortunately there is a rather nice looking Imola MR just come up for sale. I could sell the E89 aswell and get that! Must resist, that wasn't the plan!

If I could find anything for reasonable money, I would be all over it.

For now it's going to be 2 wheels. I fancy having a 'tinker' with a couple of '70s, '80s or '90s bikes. Just got to find some which aren't stupid money for a box of rusty bits!

agreed, its Painfully expensive to grab something of that era!

Resistance is futile.

Although a mate of mine might be persuaded to part with his Honda CB400/4, Suzuki GT500 or Kawasaki KH400!

Does anyone know how to start a sweepstake on how many pages this thread will run for?

No, but it will probably last longer than Pondy's next purchase.
