Pretty fly for a new guy.

Wow! I'm astonished (and genuinely slightly humbled) by the amount of replies. Don't worry, I have a fairly thick skin (I think) so thanks all (including the parent :P ) for the 'robust' welcome; no neuroses incurred and all taken in jest. In fairness, I wouldn't have expected anything less, especially after posing in front of a windmill while stroking the rear wing of my own car for a photo!

Custard photo when I can. That I will doubtless be considered ginger until then is noted. That I will probably still be considered ginger thereafter is, with a sigh, accepted.

Lego man is an interesting comparison, and not one I've heard before. Might well nick that photo to use as a profile pic somewhere, though!

Worry not! The E39 is a manual. It may have soft suspension and wood trim, but it is at least a slush-free zone.

And a special mention to MattUK for transcribing what just happened in my life frighteningly well. (Kidding. I did enjoy the read, though - bravo!)

Welcome to rather unique spirit of PH! Help yourself to a drink and pull up a pew.

C'mon, you've read the forums. Admit it; you'd have been surprised if your induction had gone any other way biggrin

Congrats mate, hope you have thrown out the viking direct desk they have no doubt issued you and replaced it with a colossal mahogany effort replete with baize writing pad and inkwell.

Hmm, conflicted. Sportscars should be manual. Barges should slush. IMO.

M5s are the exception.

Welcome Alex, look forward to seeing what you have to offer smile

Hope you feel welcome, we're a nice bunch* honest.





*Unless: you don't think MX5s is the answer to all 'What car?' threads, or that there is anything faster than a remapped 335d or have an aversion to custard.
