Without giving too much away, do you live somewhere in Kent sort of near Maidstone?

I (well the company I worked for) may have built your house hehe
Sounds about right, about 13 years ago they would have, bloody built in toilets and no access to service the underside of the system, had to cut through tiles and wood panel last Friday to replace a diaphragm, please pass that on, ah and the dodgy build of the rear decking, just removed and had it totally replaced, I will leave it there but there is more lol
I wont worry now we only did a small group of 5 or 6 houses in one corner of the whole estate about 5 years ago so it wasnt yours hehe
It is however one of the few new build estates I dont actually hate. Its a bit 'Desperate Housewives' but actually quite pleasant.

Ah they are the smaller builds across the road, nice through. We have been in now for 5 weeks and find it bloody quiet, to quiet in someways having moved out of the city. I really enjoy the space, especially the big garage, so much of it, actually I am struggling to get use to our house with 3 stories having come from a riverside apartment.

Good to see an update to this, probably the main reason I developed a real desire to own one of these cars back when you first started the thread. (I fell short, but do now own a 135i coupe) Shame so many of the old picture links are now broken.

Thanks mate, I have just recently seen that myself and checked out photobucket, they have changed their 3rd party upload hosting, now they want to charge an arm and a leg per year to do so, might have to look what else is now about and go back through the pics that I have up and replace them.

You can add ~original after the file extension (for example - photowebaddress.jpg~original) if you edit your posts, and they will appear again. This will likely be "fixed" by PB though if they catch on / enough people start doing it.

You did a nice job ... looks like a really cool new(ish) built estate which is right up my street! Could easily think they were abroad somewhere until you see the picture of it sh*tting it down laugh

Very New England style homes and the typical American big house plenty of space, the area is very modern and clean. Big change moving from London.

That is one lovely car, i will have to get one in a few years when they come down a bit in price.
That's what everyone was saying in 2011 when they first came out....myself included.

Prices only ever went up worldwide.

I should have bought one in 2012 when I had the chance.
