hi everyone

just thought id post some info on my new car

still got the mini but after racking up nearly 25,000 in just over a year i needed to preotect the mileage a bit

now the mini mileage has been halved, only gets used when im going to safe to park places and on fun drives

this way hopefully i can keep the mini longer before getting some big bills and not waste mileage on the 60 mile commute. this now means i can justify a UJ (see pic) and a Milltek which sounds awesome!

all other driving is now done in my not so fuel efficient BMW 525i SE Touring with full buffallo leather and double full length electric sunroof!

no I havent won the lottery, this old beast has done an impressive 204,000 miles but has full BMW service history and is in great nic! Even just flew through an MoT

also fairly worn tyres, RWD, no traction control and currently greasy roads makes it a hoot to drive

and the cost....£400 notes! bargain!

pity about that fuel consumption

Looks good for a quarter of a million miler Matt

Just goes to show that cars really aren't built like they used to be!

My S has a rest over the summer months when I roll out my 14 year old Audi Cabrio. Always makes me smile when I see it facing out of the garage each day as I get the Cab.
