Hi All
Just confirmed 35sd and deposit paid. 2008 57 k miles in black M sport. Be prepared for many daft questions! Had 3 beemers before but all 3series - 320 boring mobile, 330 cd which was sweet and then 335 ci that was mind blowing! Move of house to he sticks meant work horse navara but now all garden work done I can have some luxury. I think 3 more sleeps only. Hello and thanks.

welcome to the site and your car order sounds good, but don't forget to post some pics up

Welcome aboard......and as hinted, don't forget the pics..

Welcome - 2 more sleeps!

Welcome

Welcome aboard 1 more sleep to go

Come on then, where is it......

Or are you still . . ...... ...........

Probably still to busy queuing to fill it up for the first full tank...

Don't get me started.....it's complete madness around here, and some garages have put the pump price up 3ppl!

The worst thing any Government can ever say is 'Don't Panic'. What were they thinking

Think about it this way

Potential threat of strike.

Get public to panic buy and fill their cars up even if they don't need it

Petrol stations run dry

Currently no strike so they will get filled up completely before strike

Strike happens

Majority of stations are full up because they have ordered more because more space in tanks to fill up

Majority cars still full after panic buy

Strike happens no real effect as many people have filled cars up plus maybe reserves and fuel stations still have plenty in tanks as they have bought more to fill up empty space. We get by while strike happens

Maybe government smarter than you think!

Amazing how many weekend cars have been used over these past few days. I've used lotus as tank full I've seen others (wearing suits!) driving caterhams, immaculate escort cossie, classic Astons and Ferraris

You sound like you should be a Gov't 'Spin Doctor'...

Or may be they just didn't think before opening their collective mouths?

Still, they could try the Oz method. My brother tells me that in Melbourne, fuel is about the equivalent of £0.80ppl Mon-Thur but Fri-Sun it goes up to just under £1pl. Happens every week.

I get paid on their expenses

It is just a right PITA for those that do need fuel!!!!

I'm looking at petrol station by my office now and they are queing!

Lotus now half full, TT just under half
Smart full (and that is now averaging 66mpg)
X5 full but do need to do 320mile round trip tomorrow.

Just driven straight in to my local Shell, no ques however they running short of Petrol. Another angle to put on this is the additional revenue the Gov has gain from all this stupidity around £32,000,000 If stike does go ahead for a week Monday that be fine by me, will ahve enough to get over to France and fill up there

Same here ... and diesel is just over half the cost in NL than it is here

I put £131 in the barge yesterday. I made a comment very loudly to the cashier that I only fill up when the orange light comes on...everyone behind me suddenly stared at their shoes...cretins
