After all that, you can't have a heated steering wheel on the M Sport, unless things have changed since I bought mine ... I'm now faced with extreme hardship on chilly days. How do I cope?!!

Great spec. Best I've seen for a while.

Ah great I'm relieved :-)

Yes, I keep telling her she's a lucky girl ro have me LOLOL

Worst bit is it's a surprise so I've yet to figure out how to limit her mileage to <3k over the next 12 weeks and how to get her to the BMW dealer in her Audi for the handover, without raising suspicion.

I have a few weeks in which to plot anyway ;-)

If she doesn't like it, you may have a new 'friend' in Sanj........ :D

My other half just asked if she was getting one for Valentine's Day.......you are in so much doo doo now...... :? Come to think of it, so am I probably, especially as it's our 10th Wedding Anni in November.....

She wanted an M3 convertible last year, so I bought her a 1/16th scale model of one...... :P

Post by ITBarbie » Sat Jan 14, 2012 10:53 pm

22 years well done. It's my 10 wedding anniversary this year after being with Mr IT Barbie for 22 years. Gulp!

He won't get me an X but I keep dropping hints about a Mulberry Handbag. Well it's only £600'ish! Lol

Sorry Sanj but I think you'd be hard pushed for a Primark one in your trannie get up! Lol

It seems that there's a few 10th anniversary's on here this year then as it's mine and mrs x555's also. We got married on the weekend of the queens jubilee.
She wont be having a new X either this year. I did promise that if she lasted ten years with me that i would get her an eternity ring that she has always liked but the way the finances are at the mo she will probably end up with a harribo one :oops: :lol:

I had to get the ring when we had been together 10 years (now in our 18th). My folks have been married almost 51 years and my Mum is still waiting, and hinting for hers..... :poke:
