Tomorrow I'm going down south to collect my 335i. I'm gambling that Royal Mail will get my tax disc to the dealership in tomorrow's post. It's cutting it a bit close but that's my own stupid fault.

Car specifics are here in my "garage" or just look at the signature below for a synopsis. It is going to be a long night and a long drive in the morning. Shouldn't be too long coming back though.

I hope to get some good pictures at UK-N1 on Saturday, maybe with Whitby Abbey in the background.

willhollin · 10-23-2008, 04:05 PM

Hope all goes to plan Floyd, see you Saturday.

beemerbird · 10-23-2008, 04:07 PM

Fingers crossed Floyd.

Look forward to meeting you on Saturday.

SoYank · 10-23-2008, 04:45 PM

Yeah, right. Have you seen the rate of exchange recently? My Pound holdings are beginning to imitate that great British liner TITANIC.

SoYank · 10-24-2008, 06:41 PM

Had perfect timing today at the dealership. As I was walking across the forecourt Postman Pat was just leaving having delivered my DVLA documents.

Took delivery with 6 miles on the clock but it now has almost 300. It's been a long day.

E92Fan · 10-24-2008, 07:03 PM

Without wanting to state the obvious, but...

Congrats

vivekk · 10-25-2008, 01:19 AM

Congratulations Floyd.

There'll be some shots from today's Northern Meet, I'm sure.

When I went to Floyd's house, there were BMW keyfobs scattered all over the place & parking was a fooking nightmare.

That was on the dealer's forecourt before I even sat in the car. The one at the extreme left showing only the light is a 135i.

I never seem to have as much trouble turning around there as you did.

Porscha! · 10-26-2008, 05:16 PM

Looks lovely really like the new 3 Series.

Why does the new one have orange like reflectors on the front wheel arches? The only bit I don't like

BMW please sort this!!

Have fun, enjoy and remember Safety Fast!!
