CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

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!

I love it already and only driven a few miles in it.

Is that because you ran out of fuel, Socs?

ROFLMAO!

I take it you are on to the third of your Ps, BigA?

Chocolat
No, I just stopped peddling.

I wish, Choccy. Just taking a break so thought I'd drift in to see what was going down.

Back to it!

Nice motor Socs I hope you get great pleasure from it.
I've just bought new mouse from PC World. BELKIN Wireless optical for 14.99 with Lifetime Guarantee lovely action and that guarantee!!

Opto
I have the Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse, it is great not to have that electric string cluttering up the place. The keyboard is fine but I do find that the mouse has a hunger for batteries. I buy them by the dozen to ensure that I don't get stuck with a dead mouse.

Thanks for the comment re. the car, I hope I shall enjoy it too.

Socs I'll see how it goes with the batteries that were supplied if it uses them fast I'll use some rechargable ones. Keep a couple topped up ready.

Opto
I tried that but found they didn't last very long. A pack of AAs is quite cheap so I use them. Your mouse, being newer, may last longer.

You should be careful where you park your mouse, opto - BigA's been setting traps.

Thanks Choccy, it's so nice wouldn't like it to get hurt!

Good morning one and all, I just know its going to be a good one (as the actress said to the bishop).

Time for a break from window cleaning, hedge trimming etc. I fancy snorkers for lunch today.

Traps for mice and now a bunny running into the garden.

Dogs in hot pursuit, but they missed it. I'll have to shop for dinner now

Good heavens, it's today again.

As always Socs, you are right.
Good morning.

Good morning Snoball, darned quiet here recently. I'll make a cuppa, it must be time for elevenses.
