Thought I would dive in here before Dave does.

I bought his 540 today. Lets see how long my unblemished no points record lasts then.

Beastie. 120mph cruisin'.

Remember- points make prizes. At the end of the year, you can trade them in for a crystal class set LOL.

Nice one.

An xjr V8. That's the next one to tick off the list.


Or maybe a Mulsanne turbo

You are right. Sold it to a fellow ph'er too.
My mates 540 was calling BUY ME...

In 10 years I have had 54 cars. This is split between my wife and I.

Contrary to belief I haven't made enough money to buy a small country, sort of ticked over really. I tend to think I hop between cars, without spending any more.

For instance, my 528i to the 540. £50 difference.

More of a hobby really.

Glad you're keeping up chaps

Costs about £7 to change. Must admit I was a bit surprised that a 540 is the same to insure as a 528.

I am only paying about £300 or so fully comp....But with a £350 excess

Apparently I am sensible...
