Car is back in the body shop
Discussion
Hi!
Well, the car is back in the bodyshop. Firstly to tidy up a couple of bits that have been annoying me, and secondly to clean up a small bit parking damage caused by someone elses' negligence.
All going well the car will finally be near perfect condition, hiding its age and milage well.
Its probably sods law that the car will be written off by someone in the company car hack when on my way home tomorrow from the bodyshop. Always the way. LOL.
Anyone else get a sort of uneasy feeling when their car is with someone else you dont really know? I had to leave the keys with the shop (Its haggys dad) but I get the same feeling at service time....
(how long is that test drive going to be? Will they let it warm up etc etc etc)
Haggys dad is also recharging the sense of direction too.

Probably going to be E46 M3 convertible, really like them in estoril blue!
Lovely car. If I had found an estoril M5 when I was looking I would have had one straight away. Sadly that was when estoril carried a premium as they are rare on M5's. Now they are worth nothing - like mine! LOL.
