Out early today for a long run in the sunshine, got some really good runs on some B roads and the car was absolutely fantastic 
Oh how I love this car, the noise from the exhausts, loads of dust and gravel on the roads so lots of slippery moments 8). When you haven't used it much for the Winter you forget just what an awesome machine the M is.

Buy an iS
lol. Sorry, whilst I'll be watching the pics of your new car and I'm very jealous, it's not the car for me.
Does the iS have an LSD? I reckon mine would have been quite warm on the trip I did at lunchtime, good job there was no Melbourne police about, I was slightly exhuberant too 8)

I'm a new owner and ill admit I didnt fall for the car on the drive home about 2 weeks ago from Notts to Chigwell...
But the car gets under your skin, every time I get in it i'm searching for that inch perfect seating position, the perfect launch, the perfect way to take that sweeping left hander, learning to have faith in the slightly vague front end and to lean on the grip getting a little bit more adventurous with the throttle travel each time... 8)
I don't drive it daily, I have a Yaris 1.5 T Sport for that but I cant wait til I do every time now and I HAVE fallen for it. 8) 8) 8)

I too have no idea what will replace it in years to come...at present my plan is to keep her for 5 years, by then we'll probably be unable to drive them on public roads unless we pay £1,000 CO2 tax.
Good writeup, Andy!

Nice Avitar
Enough about shims!!! I've got that to face next week.
Took the car out tonight into Wales and did much of the North Wales run we did earlier in the year. After 7 o'clock the roads were pretty much deserted, except for a Police car on the Evo triangle - I decided to stay behind him as he was doing about 55 so...
The car was absolutely stunning, never missed a beat tore up and down the roads, exhausts wailing away and me with a big stupid grin on my face. Never met a woman yet who could get me that excited after three years together What a car and what roads in North Wales
