Washed the bike this morning and just got it back under the cover as the rain started. Been down to the superstore in Swindon today and got some new gear. Alpinestars laminate jacket and trousers for £350. Decided I couldn't justify the near grand fur the Halverson's kit.

Nice. BMW make some of the best colours in Blue and as its the only colour i can see properly its interesting to me. My fave is San Marino blue but is quite rare.

You'll be a two BMW household now then!

I had my first go in an electric car the other day. A Renault Zoe - acceleration off the line is astonishing.

I took one out for a test drive a few months back. Very nice cars, I like the fact that they don't go over the top on being an electric car.

Yes back to a 2 beemer household mate.

San Marino is the best blue agreed but as you say quite rare.

The full leather and carbon dash sold it to me 8) I'm a slut to bling :P

You've been sold a left hand drive, Blade?

My average speed in my car over the last 15000 miles is less than 25mph. TBH a scooter would be quicker for most of my driving these days.

I think the leather dash is in the f-type too if I remember rightly Cookie.

I remember the first time I saw your Jag. The interior and noise it made blew me away (rock)

It was a joke at the expense of the engine. I shan't bother again if your so easily offended.

I'm not jeleous in the slightest, I have no interest in cars at all these days. They are simply tools for transporting the family from a to b and dragging the caravan about.

If the car makes you happy then I hope you enjoy it. I shall say no more about it.

Not offended in the slightest, just a dick comment tbh and pretending it isnt is even more dick. Gladly be quiet, you never have a positive comment to make (deadhorse)

If honesty is a crime, I m guilty as hell (devil)

I have lots of leather :D

You spend most of your time looking at the inside so it needs to be nice.

Exactly how I see it.

Was very interested in a f-type but ideally wanted 4 seats , I like Beemers and the M4 is a good compromise between supercar pace and family car practically.

Would never say no to a Jag though. Bloke near me has a Ftype Svr. Sounds amazing (raaar)
