Congrats and commiserations! The new BM looks excellent, I actually quite like that shape, and you can't argue with the useful tech like HUD etc.
Glad it all worked out in the end, although I must selfishly admit I was hoping I'd be needed

Sounds good to me...

9-5 Aero with sub 100k, fat tax as 2008 and saloon, but £1690 and seems to be all working. Wowsers, it is 2019 in here today.
Meanwhile I've decided against buying the XJR, lovely as it really is, I don't have anywhere to park the current fleet let alone add to it. A shame, I've had it for a few days and it does make a very pleasing and naughty noise...
Is it standard to have quad tailpipes? It's a little unbecoming...9-5 Aero with sub 100k, fat tax as 2008 and saloon, but £1690 and seems to be all working. Wowsers, it is 2019 in here today.

It's as white as white can be, but this 60 plate Passat CC at £5.5 with a 3.6 ltr engine has to be a rare thing...

The CC has aged awfully. White doesn't helphttps://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202107265...
i think its overshadowed a lot by the passat estate , but they are rare as a rare thing.
IIRC it doesnt have split rear , although i might be wrong.

Also, this one has a purple-lined centre console. How cool is that?

Yes they were originally standard. The Supersport (which preceded the XJR) just had two large pipes which looks better to my eye...

Congrats on the BMW CdG, looks great 
Re MOT stuff...630i and X5 had their MOT last week. 630i needed a tie rod end, X5 needed nothing. Fairly painless. Of course, this was on the back of the big waterpump bill for the X5 last month so I'm quite glad about that.
It's a great car but one thing it isn't great looking lol Re MOT stuff...630i and X5 had their MOT last week. 630i needed a tie rod end, X5 needed nothing. Fairly painless. Of course, this was on the back of the big waterpump bill for the X5 last month so I'm quite glad about that.

Seeing as it’s Friday and I’m a bit scared of going in the Porsche forum, any thread wisdom on a ten year old Cayenne with 190k miles but a comprehensive dealer history? How big would the pill need to be?
There's £4k Cayenne thread ongoing currently, do your due diligence, no pills required!!!!http://motorcloud.net/category/cayenne-running-rep...

The problem with cars like this for me, as someone who's spent most of his life in various parts of the North West, is that they all seem to be owned by plumbers from Wigan called Jason. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202107265...
For Jason, this car is his "baby". It's the car he drives when he's not driving his works van. It's all dreamt of. It's the pinnacle of his motoring life. His wife's not allowed to drive it, "it's too powerful for you, love". And yet. It's a Passat in a frock.
All week, Jason (as all plumbers in Wigan are called Jason) dreams of the time when he'll take "the beast" out at the weekend.
In his mind, Jason is James Dean in a Streetcar Named Desire. Jason's Steve McQueen in Bullitt. He's Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit.
Jason's queuing up in the Drive-Thru at KFC at an out of town retail centre, having been dragged there by his wife who wants to look at sofas in DFS.
Later, our hero will drive to his local flat roofed pub where a female vocalist who once auditioned for the X-Factor will spend the evening massacring popular songs in the name of entertainment, whilst Jason drinks his own bodyweight in premium continental lager and leers at the local girls in their nice dresses.
Later, his mate Darren the sparky will suggest making a call and despite all promises to his wife that he's not into that anymore, as Build me up Buttercup breaks down for the final time, Jason and Darren will sneak off to the toilet to snort a gram of talcum powder, cat litter and coke, promising himself that this really is the last time.
The next morning, as Jason looks at the names of his children who are tattooed onto his forearm in gothic script, he wonders what it's all for. Then he opens the window, looks out at the white Passat CC and remembers that he can escape here. He can leave the flat roofed pub and cheap marching powder behind him. It's not too late, he could be someone. Just him and his baby together. The world's their oyster. St Helens, Runcorn, Widnes, even Warrington.
Then, as CBeebies starts and the hangover kicks in, he's left grateful that the first owner specced the premium sound system. He'll need it to console himself as he goes to PineWorld to look at bedside tables that afternoon. Maybe he'll wait in the car and treat himself to a listen of his favourite playlist and dream of pastures new.
So it's a no from me.
