CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Choco
I've just been reading the manual to find out what all the knobs and switches do. Got fed up after the first 70 pages and decided to watch the Chelsea flower show instead.

I've heard it said that a manual comes in handy sometimes, Socks.

I can feel a hammock moment coming on.

Does this place still do Armagnac?

Damned if I can find it. I'll go and get one.

I don't know, who is he?

Choccy wants Manuel and Al wants Armagnac, all very continental this evening.

Al, we do anything you want just ask any of the swedish blonds and they will serve you.

I'll have a different swede delivering each glass please, my astronaut buddy.

Ulrika 1,2,3,4,5..........................................dream on!

opto - thought choccy wanted a manual. ;-)

chocky want a manual what ?

Now you're asking.

Not sure I want to know the answer to that one. ;-)

Good night all.

Al, I am just back from your place, been lowering the tone a bit ;-)

OK its time for Later on BBC 2 Van Morrison on tonight. Back later for a bed time southern comfort.

Too hot, too hot. Can't sleep so got up at the crack of sparrows. I think I'll have bowl of gruel and a cuppa.

Socs, much cooler in hastings this morning.

I am off to Norfolk for the rest of the weekend. Look after the place while I am away.

Al, I know Choccy said she wanted a manual. Just changed it a bit, perhaps a Manuel delivering a manual would be OK, would it be a service manual (for her car perhaps)
Morning all

Hello Spaceman and Opto, much cooler here too. Just as well, yesterday was OTT for an English spring day.

Opto
Was that Manuel handling?

I'm off out shopping later, first trip in new charra. As usual, dealer left about half a pint of petrol in it. Their excuse is that if the car gets stolen off the forecourt, the tea-leaf won't get far. Doesn't do much for customer service though.

Morning Socs, another Beamer?

Morning all

Nice and sunny but high gusting winds here in manchester

I think ill have a coffee and a feb

Very windy this side of the hill as well Fundy.

Opto
Yes, I always wanted a saloon but the first beamer was a "touring" model, that's an estate to "mature" people like me. (Didn't we used to call them shooting-brakes?). This one is a 523i.

It was a great motor, engine to die for, but a bit on the noisy side. This saloon is much higher on the "Comfy" scale. I was hoping it might be more economical too, a 2.5 as opposed to 2.8, but I find the recommended fuel grade is the super-unleaded so probably no gain there. Time will tell.

Morning all,

Socs,
If economy was important why not 5 series diesel?? don't think that uses any unleaded at all...:-)
Feel certain the new motor might curtail your more extravavgant driving tendencies, but with luck the cossetting will be adequate recompense, 2 people at work have similar, and have thus far been delighted with them, hope yours is as enjoyable!
