I will do! I am just having a moan to get out my frustration, I'll get there eventually!
I think I am going to go and buy myself a pair of carbon fibre Oakley sunglasses to cheer myself up for the time being

The above you mean? He was just letting me know that he is considering putting his car up fro sale at the moment.
Ok here is the latest one from yesterday, its getting comical now! :roll:
A new z4 pops up on autotrader yesterday morning 2 miles from my house looks very tidy in the pics and a decent price. I call up and speak to a very polite lady who says the car is in v.good condition and I can come and see the car this evening etc, take the address, all sorted. Get a call back 30 minutes later....
"Sorry, will you be able to come tomorrow?" hang on a minute, surely this is a wind up I'm thinking (what happened to me last time).....She says the car was in for an MOT at kwik fit autocentre just down the road from my house and they have made a "mess up" of some sort so the car wont be ready till tomorrow. Ok, fair enough no biggy I'll come tomorrow. I decide to take a drive there straight after work and find it in the car park. I told the mechanics who were outside that I was having a cheeky look over it because the lady who dropped it in to them was selling it.
I asked 1 of the mechanics how the MOT went and what the "mess up" was, and he said "oh didn't she tell you that the car was overheating on the ramps?" LOL
I then look over the car anyway, and its a mess, gouges in the paint that have clearly happened after the pics for the advert were taken. The wheels are a bit of a state, and the soft top roof is filthy and has moss around the edges or windows/boot. The roof looked very clean in the pics, to the point that I'm sure the pics were taken about 12 months ago! I then ask the mechanic to open the car for me, which he reluctantly did after I promised I wouldn't touch anything and it stank of dampness, at that point I had a laugh with the mechanic at what a state the car was and drove home happy that I wouldn't be buying it.
You really do have to laugh sometimes!

They definitely were, my 2005 had them. Think they were around £400.srhutch said:
