What to give the Alpina owner who has everything...

Did Glyn go for a trade in, or was it picked up by a dealer? Mileage is about the same as mine, although I'm an 05. Glyn's was a lovely car (IIRC wasn't it previously owned by Dave as well, another register member?)

I don't know, I just noticed it was the penultimate car when he was selling it. They are nice in red!

Bing, you know it makes sense! Also no ///M tax on servicing :) :evil:
 
Just had a look at the Register link - much better pics, and I like. Mrs Bing wouldn't let me have it though - the build number has two 4s in it, bad Chinese juju :(

And I must stick to The Plan :headbang:
 
Wonder if Taz could ever be tempted into a properly exclusive roadster :D

What would Mrs Bing say about #69 then... :rofl:

Let's find you one with 8 in the number... Ah, Mark? :)

69 she would like :evil:

Something with an 8 works... Sounds like Mark needs to keep his though :D But 344 means 'alive, death, death' - emphasis being on the death bit....

The Unicorn!

Nope, the unicorn is the single white ///M roadster sold in the UK. Which we are increasingly convinced has been binned :cry:
 
hmmm

1.一 [jɐ́t] – sure
2.二 [ji̭ː] – easy 易 [ji̭ː]
3.三 [sáːm] – live 生 [sáːŋ] but it can also be seen as a halved eight when using Arabic numerals (3) (8) and so considered unlucky.
4.四 [sēi] – considered unlucky since 4 is a homophone with the word for death or suffering 死 [sěi], yet in the Shanghainese, it is a homophone of water (水)and is considered lucky since water is associated with money.
5.五 [ŋ̬] – the self, me, myself 吾 [ŋ̭], nothing, never 唔 [ŋ, m][need tone] in the Shanghainese, it is a homophone of fish (鱼)
6.六 [lùːk] – easy and smooth, all the way
7.七 [tsʰɐ́t] – a slang/vulgar word in Cantonese.
8.八 [pāːt] – sudden fortune, prosperity 發 [fāːt]
9.九 [kɐ̌u] – long in time 久 [kɐ̌u], enough 夠 [kɐ̄u] or a slang/vulgar word derived from dog 狗 [kɐ̌u] in Cantonese

So, Stuart, you are easy & smooth, long time. :rofl:
And as neither 0 or 1 are in there, I am just 8 so fāːt. Pretty accurate this chinese numerology stuff :roll:
 
Count me in - it's a very exclusive club after all, and will probably be my first member benefit - or at least the first that hasn't cost £'hundreds!!! :D
 
Stuart Truman, how many left?

i have a new badge design on order, this will be even more exclusive hehe
 
6 left to go (if Wee Bing is allowed to have one!) Just for fun I'm numbering them, as the cars are also numbered :)

So far:
Me #1
Markeg #2
Dave_alp #3
Wee Bing #8

I PM'd the Alpina owners I know about to give them a :poke:

C'mon then, tell us about this new exclusive design?
