[E1DJH]

Many thanks to all who have contributed towards my replacemnt car selection, to Nigel for fielding my host of stupid questions, and to Ben and Nathan for taking me to collect the new beast.

Here are a few hastily taken photos.

Just as I thought Dave, Stuart had one of these that he used for Bashing off in...I think it had his name on the rear window...........if I remember correctly!

Wow David! Proper monster!!

[VerySideways]

Electric rear seats?

It amazes me the amount of car that's out there in this market these days.

Great looking motor David and with the full history and all tick boxes checked on the options list, it looks like a great buy.

I notice the Wall Street-esque mobile phone in the armrest as well. Top car.

So, correct me if i'm wrong, but I make it 28 cylinders currently in the household? With 3 cars, that's got to be a record (and a reason for some shares in BP....)

Thats a great looking car.

32 if you include the corsa, I think he bought this to up the average to 8 per car

Ah, but for the sake of argument, I think David should find an 8 cylinder donor for the Corsa as well. In for a penny and all that.....

Nice car Dave. And a V12! what a beast!

Whats the top end like on one of those?

Lovely motor David, I can't wait to see it!

[E1DJH]

Thanks for all the comments guys, most amusing and much appreciated.

I have today discovered the "executive" radio on/off switch - you have to remove a fuse in the boot, wait 15 seconds, and then replace it I'm not too sure how often this is required, but apparently it is the "official" BMW remedy.

The car is now almost ready for its first PH outing - i have transferred the registration number today, and she is now formally known as E2 DJH.

If all goes well on Thursday afternoon, i'll bring her along to the Ice Karting.

Which reminds me
Many of you posting here have not paid me the balance. In the absence of information to the contrary, i have assumed that everyone who paid a desposit still plans to come along - or at least pay the balance, as i have paid in full!

See you there
