After several phone calls with my accountant yesterday and having paid my tax for the year (glad thats done now), I can start looking for a car to replace the Eddie, going looking at one tomorrow morning  :happy2:

Well I viewed the car and put a deposit down, picking it up thursday after they tax it, give it a new 12 months MOT and fix a couple of stone chips that I spotted, otherwise in excellent condition, very happy with it and cannot wait to pick it up next week  :happy2:

Cheers nige, Yeah not bad on mpg, went on a 35+ mile test drive and before setting off tripped the computer, when we got back it averaged 41.7mpg and that was half dual carriageway and half A/B roads (and I was not exactly hanging around either) so was pleased with that and yes it does fit my golf clubs in comfortably (took mine and my father bags and tried them in the boot)  :signLOL:

Just need to ensure I use my indicators at all times, do not tailgate people, let people out of junctions in traffic and not wear Oakley sunglasses, hopefully I will break help alleviate the BMW driver stereotype then  :happy2:, think my dad is miffed that I have a new car, since I got back he has been showing me pictures of BMW 635D sports and gently persuading my mother about having a new car as they no longer need a 4wd as they dont tow the caravan anymore.

MY brother has already pointed out that it can be remapped to around 335bhp and 475lb/ft but no plans for that................................yet

I'm selling as I've have had it 2 and a bit very happy years with my beloved Pirelli but feeling the urge for something newer. I only tend to keep my cars for about 2 years anyway, but made the mistake of taking an RS3 out and was immediately impressed with the grip it had! S3, Golf R? I do keep thinking I could be due a Porsche though as I'm reaching that crisis point in my life soon! :laugh:
Besides it means some of you lot benefit from having my tasty secondhand parts!

Think I am putting mine up for sale soon after 5 years of owner ship and nearly 90k of pleasure I think I need a change the itchy feet of something silly like a Porsche or something like an rs4 or rs6 or m3 is an itch I need to scratch. It's still been the best car I have owned as cars normally last 6 months to a year with me and its been a car I bought new and have just loved it. But some itches need scratching

So will that leave only Red and Steve of the old timers with the same car?
