Hi Remal,

We must be close neighbours then because Harlequin is about 200 yards from where I live.

I agree with your recommendations too.

My cousin bought a car from them and has never had any bother with it, but that was a £3000 car, not sure I would want to spend a lot of money with them, I have always looked there, but always got a feeling that I shouldnt buy from them!

So what is the car you are thinking of

If I had the cojones to do it, the 740i they've got.

But they've some other tasty bits and pieces, and really I fancy just wondering down and having a nose...

740's are nice, a friend runs one, I seem to remember recently you were saying you wanted a diesel, well....you could buy a diesel with 6 months worth of fuel the 740 would use, they aren't cheap, plus factor for expensive tyres/brake discs etc.

I had a 540i which was better in all ways.

Plus, you will look like the hoff. hehe

Mike, I'll give you a call in the car when I get in it later...

I looked at that 740i, and as dreamy as it was for £4k, I luckily had my sensible head on at that moment, and it was too large, too thirsty and just too much of a car for someone used to throwing a little Golf around.

Taking a look at a 328 however they are having in today

The amount of times Silverback has changed his car he must have experience of nearly every dealer and private seller in the region.

Bloody hell - we are just moving into St.Georges in the next few weeks - doing all the DIY at the mo - so Harlequin have been quite local.

Very much like the 328i auto that is there - pressing all the right buttons at the moment - and an auto would be nice over the winter.

Mike - cheers for your handy help and advice today mate thumbup

I live almost opposite the Esso garage in Soundwell Road.

I could run to Harlequin Motors with a following wind of some strength and a bull behind me!
