We have had a long string of new or very newly new BMs; a 328i then a 330d then a 320d convertible followed by a 320 coupe (in white with red leather!) up to now with a very fine 420d Gran Coupe which we plan to keep into our retirement. The Kia is a tug for the caravan and personal transport for our two Golden Retrievers, but good workhorse as it is I couldn't resist the lure of an X5 for towing duties.
I'm quite sure I shall get out of this forum far more than I could hope to put in, but I'll do my best. I'm a regular contributor to a Minolta/Sony photography forum as well as the Caravan Talk forum, both of which have been good experiences and helpful and interesting. Looking forward to doing the same here.
