On the Plus side, I’m not in anyway considering a ‘Jaaaaag!’ (You know who you are :poke: )
Well you've ticked most E85, E89 boxes..

Seeing your car ‘glinting’ at me in the dark hasn’t helped :poke:

Now hold on a minute, you never mentioned anything about making you see sense :poke: you were silly enough to post a title with a thread that was only going to encourage us to help you to empty your wallet even further :P

    I’ve been thinking the same way as you for a while now. I would still keep my ///M and run both at different times so I’m not spending double on road tax. The silver one that Andy posted looks lovely but I do have a soft spot for red leather. I have had quite a few 3.0si’s and I still think they are the best bang for your buck but the 35i is tugging away at me. I will follow this thread with interest :thumbsup:

    Get a Jaaaaaag! They break all the time but are cheaper.
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
