Nope I think you'll find that you said you opened an envelope on Christmas day and there was a V5 in it for an S2000 with your name on.
2 years ago - I fear for your kids you seem to hold grudges against risk strangers then hound them down on any thread they post on or create time to move on or simply don't post on my threads as I've requested you to do previously yet you continue to do. Why is this? /please move on I'm rather bored of asking youAlso I will post where I want, cheers.
You sound a really pleasant chap - as you were

So you mean you write fantasy bulls
t there as well as on the forum then ?
I'm sorry but I can and do use that section of the forum as I see fit. I want it as a budgeting tool which is then updated with actual costs as and when I taken them, previous cars are clearly all now full actual costs. t there as well as on the forum then ?I think you will find it is Labour Party which publish a fantasy budget yet muppets keep voting for them.

Hold on I've not mentioned the garage someone else did then clearly you've had a look and posted up about it hence m responding above. Struggling here - issue being what?

It seems to be plenty quick enough at racking up mileage, from WB's garage "Current car"
Plenty of iditots reply ongoing here shame. WB said:
Bought for £24,495 in October 2014 at 55,000 miles. Now worth about £8,000 at 133,000 miles.
errrmm..Anyway as I've said plenty of times before I use the garage as a tool to track spend or expected spend (take a look at the date the ownership is up to 2020. (Did you notice I had forecast brake fluid change in 2018 and 2 sets of new tyres etc?))
You're the one writing fantasy car ownership stories but I'm apparently an "iditot". ?

Have you got next weeks lottery numbers as well? Anyway as I've said plenty of times before I use the garage as a tool to track spend or expected spend (take a look at the date the ownership is up to 2020. (Did you notice I had forecast brake fluid change in 2018 and 2 sets of new tyres etc?))
The costs I've put in firstly are for my use primarily but happy for anyone to view - secondly the items I've put in are known things which have to be done on a bi annual or annual basis plus I know what they cost now.
Lottery numbers - when I play I always do 20/21/22/23/24/25 reason its just as possible as any other winning sequence but has the benefit that fewer people will choose that over 1-6 or lower straight runs (sadly since lottery started I've not won once from memory/incase someone goes and checks I don't play all the time so if they have come up my bad luck.

You know what the costs are now, but have no idea of what the costs may be when you actually come to the time incur them, so what is the point, also how can you predict the value of the car in 6 years time? The numbers maybe for you benefit, but are pointless in the real world.The costs I've put in firstly are for my use primarily but happy for anyone to view - secondly the items I've put in are known things which have to be done on a bi annual or annual basis plus I know what they cost now.
I understand budgeting fine, so surely it wold have made more sense to take out a service plan, then you would accurately know your costs, at best you have posted a load of estimates.
Not sure it's a step up from an RS6
diesel power bands are pretty narrow, and they are clattery things.
I was disappointed with the gearbox in my 335d, It was terrible and never made use of the 350bhp it had.
Hope the new box is a lot better, and better still it needs the 4wd version too.

Interesting how you pre-empted the lottery checks! I personally find your threads fairly amusing. However your use of grammar is quite frankly criminal and makes your posts extremely difficult to read. I really have no sympathy for the abuse you receive as you really have brought it on yourself via previous threads.The costs I've put in firstly are for my use primarily but happy for anyone to view - secondly the items I've put in are known things which have to be done on a bi annual or annual basis plus I know what they cost now.

BM looks nice though.

The new 8 speed box is splendid.diesel power bands are pretty narrow, and they are clattery things.

Well the c£8k value is what BMW gave me as a GFV if I went down the used car PCP route - I think that was 4 years (cannot remember as I went for straight purchase)so discounted it). So I've put in that value for 6 years 2 additional years plus a further 26k miles ish - sure its a guess and one I hope is a worst case but I'd rather that and then IF it fetches more that's a nice problem to have.

Forecasting/budgeting is always guesswork to some extent I've attempted to add as much reality as possible to it - for my own benefit.

Its a totally different ownership prospect and you cannot compare the two as they would never be competitors - I wanted a fast diesel which it is good economy which its demonstrating loads of modern kit and a car I can run for 6years maybe more as a commuter car. diesel power bands are pretty narrow, and they are clattery things.

The 6 speed auto v 8 speed sports auto are worlds apart the 8 speed is incredible (Jag use it too not sure who else) it changes seamlessly and so quickly plus it holds the gear not kicking down even in D unless its foot to the floor. Compared to the RS6 gearbox which is a 5 speed vry slow changing and isn't the best to be honest.

Well if you have been in cars that barely do >20mpg for years MPG will excite you...
maybe a while anyway :P
Any link to the Reader's Car thread? Interested to know more especially about the interior.
I'm going to post that up in a few weeks with lots of pics and hopefully a trip to the Lake District for good pics a proper ownership review. maybe a while anyway :P

I'm loving it just want to keep going out for drives its also not just the drive its the interior is really lovely a great place to spend hours commuting.

I drove a tuned Impreza as a daily driver for nearly seven years. I reckon I probably got 22-23 mpg over the period. Perhaps it was my fault a bit!maybe a while anyway :P

Its quicker than the manual its more efficient and its less VED like for like.
For a commuting car this auto is ideal - get a caterham etc for the weekend with stick shift.
Is it the same type of box fitted to the new M4/ M3?
I drove one of them and thought it was OK.
The old auto box in the first 335d was better suited to a high revving petrol. kickdown was pointless completely putting the engine out the torque curve.
Trying to set off quickly was nothing then everything.

No it's not the same, the DCT is a 7 speed dual clutch, the 8 speed is an automatic box with paddles in sports auto guise.I drove one of them and thought it was OK.

DCT is reserved for the M cars.
