Me and kate went to see a car on Sunday, in a good mood after England's emphatic win over Panama.
Was a fair old drive, her last in her 1.1 Mitsubishi Colt!... But not mine as I had to drive the little git back home.
Got there and had a good look around, the car wasn't perfect, which we knew, but we need a practical car and after the whole wedding malarkey :p we tried to be sensible and keep the spending low.
Plus it's something else for me to do once my car is finished.
I took it for a drive and was rather impressed. A big receipt from the week after he purchased the car (last year) put our minds at rest a bit. He had put it in a local garage for a full check over and had all issues resolved at alot of cost (New front calipers, full service etc).

Anyway the deal was all but done when the sound of tyres screeching made us all look out of the car window. Round the corner comes a Passat, understeering onto the opposite side of the road, then sideways back across straight for us!
Good ol' Bobby on his tail in a spanking undercover x5. Go on son!
I had visions of him wiping us out, it was very very close! But luckily, definately not skilfully, he avoided us. I was ready to say we didn't want the car =))
Just as we were about to set off home he comes back round again only going the opposite way over the junction, seconds later Bobby comes round toward us so we waved him off the other way.
The buggar lost him! He must have knew the area well...

ANYWHO

Kate has a new car.

After 180miles home, I couldn't wait to find out what she thought of it.

The words from her mouth....
Anyone guess?

"I love it, it matches my bag"

=))=))=))=))

That bloody bag! :banghead:
 
My brother had the exact same car, to look at anyway. He did 100k in 3 years in it and never skipped a beat.
 
i wonder how many people on here have subsequently got their other half's BMWs?

we now have an exclusivity BMW house!

BMW 330e (Company Car)
BMW 120i (Wife's)
BMW Z3 (Mine)
 
Nice pickup for the Mrs! I think a used Touring will be on my list but they are fairly scarce here in the USA. I drove an Audi Avant for years and loved the utility of a sporty wagon.
 
New plates bought and fitted.

I've had my plate since I was 17, there is a HO06 DAV available but wouldn't go on the z3 due to the 06 bit.
My mam has HO06 JAN.
Might get my dad the DAV since his name fortunately is also David ha.
 
Nice touch. I like a plate especially if you have a sequence like you've mentioned.
