the BMW convertible we're selling to make way for the Vogue failed it's MOT yesterday- the first time it's ever failed! We've owned it for 7 years and it's always gone through no problems. We bought it when it had to have it's first one and up till now, we've never even had to replace a bulb on it.
It was only the rear coil spring, which had snapped (common problem apparently) so a quick trip to the breakers and an hours messing about on the drive has sorted it.

I did promise the new owner it would have 12 months MOT on it, so there you go.

It's going to be a sad day on Saturday, handing the keys over to it's new owner . It's the longest I've owned a car. The Vogue will make up for it though!

Another excellent reason for owning a FFRR. Just wish I'd got tinted windows so I don't get "caught" looking

i hear that some like it when you look

wot do you mean some!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they all do - and when they get too old that men do stop looking they get really "golly gee wizz" off.

That is unless they are a rug muncher

I meant that some like Larry looking minus the odd rug munchers and even some of them are receptive

Next thing you know you will be getting Brickies (stiffy) when you see another RRS, and for no reason at all start wearing sunglasses in the dark and parking outside Gym's , along with Tom Selleck ( MAGNUM ) Shirts and growing a MOUSTACHE . and being home for a certain time coz the Missus wants her car back...................

heaven forbid, how frightfully common

Damn. Maybe I've bought the wrong car! Maybe a RRS is more appropriate to my choice of shirt wear!

I have found a problem though. Nice to have the height to look down into other cars, but looking to my right at traffic lights and finding a bus full of window lickers staring at me does cancel it out a little.
