Ah yes, a new M3 will go down a right treat.
The ghost of Christmas ruin was here for me on boxing day !
Hope you get all you wish for in a new M3.
And yes that is the Houses of Parlement in the background. Bloody thing broke down right in the middle of Parlement Square !

Been there John! I mean EXACTLY there! 
Know the feeling!
Many years ago I was sitting stuck in traffic on Whitehall just before it goes in to Parliment Square
in my very first car (a 2002tii) feeling as pleased as punch with myself. I glanced across at the bus stop next to me to see the whole queue of passengers pointing to the underside of my car. Thankfully, I didn't flick my fag out of the window before going to investigate as a fuel line had come off discharging most of the contents of my petrol tank all over the road!
Imagine the embarrassment?
Good thing is though...in that location the Police do make sure you're not left hanging around too long!
Hope it's nothing serious!

Hi Derin, well, i'll second that about the BiB making sure that your not hanging around for too long i had an `unmarked tourist` come over and very descritly show me his badge along with a few Bobbies...one of them from the Houses of Commons had walked over specially to see me and said that all the cameras in there were going mental with this `random car` parked right outside
but, to be honest they were all very understanding once the situation was explained and one of them even asked to have a closer look at the car and said to me that it's probably the nicest he's seen. Well it brightened up my day a little. As for the problem mate, it's to do with the SMG unit. I had the unit replaced in November `05 and i was getting a bit of a blip in performance at intermittant intervals. The easist way to describe it is like a HT lead breakind down BUT only on the gear change. My Indipendant specialest` are pretty sure that i've a strong case for a warentee claim but they've got to be 100% not 98% if you know what i mean before they give the car back to BMW.
Derin You Have Mail sir !
