Nice motor, but going by the front bumper and chrome bars in the front grilles that's the luxury trim not M sport.

Oh really? I wouldn't know personally... it was advertised as MSport and insurance company's recognize it as that also. BMW have so many variations its confusing

It's out! 35 minutes or so in the chair, 4 injections and a 3d x-ray that was like being in Total Recall.
Now to wait for the pain to turn up.....

 

In the last 6 hours, the online order tracker for my next car has jumped from "Build week confirmed" (this week), to "In transit" (en-route to dealership), bypassing "In build".

I think this means my new car was born THIS morning!

Downside: It'll still take up to 4 weeks to reach the dealership.

 

Walking around a warm Edinburgh city centre and wishing I were 40 years younger as the city is filled with the new intake of female students (and male of course).

 

Dug out an old 4-port 3.5" bay fan controller from "stores" to quieten my case fans down a bit.

No 3.5" bays on this case though so I've mounted it inside the main compartment.

Couple of students came down to pick and pay the balance for a 40 inch TV I sold to them. When they came to view I gave them the stand to take with them as the TV was wall mounted. They left a deposit and promised to return Tuesday evening with a friend who owned a car. True to their word they appeared on Tuesday but no car and also they brought back the stand for me to fit as they did not own a screwdriver. Awesome stuff.
Oh and they took the TV home in a taxi.

 

hahaaaa students

Mate of mind sold a integrated cooker for £10 to save scrapping, they turned up in a 2 seater car!! He went out for couple of hours and they were still there on his return waiting for a 2nd car!

 

Bought my first car - get to pick it up on Tuesday

 

Gonna tell us what it is?

Drive safe though

 

Expect pics in the "What do you drive?" thread on Tuesday

 

The guy who bought my rackmount server did exactly the same thing.

Well done her.

 

Thank you very much to KayinBlack for sending me a 3570k, completely free.

Making quite the difference to all of my gaming, no longer capped by a dual core.

Top Bloke indeed.

 

That's crazy generous.

 

My old boss who died last year at 62 left most of his possessions to the local NHS cancer appeal, and a load of them went under the hammer at Bonhams today.

The hammer price of the 600 odd lots was a hair over £3M, adding to the previous £3.2M that his motorbikes fetched.

That money will be buying new body scanners and a new radiotherapy suite in West Dorset

I was lucky enough to drive this beastie a few times, including from the garage to the Bonhams transporter. He was too weak to sit in, let alone drive it in the last few months, so I got to start it up and keep it exercised.



It sold for a tad under £300K - no pressure when driving it; especially as the accelerator & brake are reversed compared to most other cars!

 

That's amazing, what a fantastic cause as well!

Two more weeks and I'm moving back home for good, the commute twice a week will be a killer but my car is so freaking comfortable I love driving it! I enjoyed driving before but the corsa was a bit of a ball ache. My neighbour thought I was a drug dealer (he still thinks i work in a morrisons)... which made me uneasy.

Parents have gone away which means going home this weekend absolutely no nagging

I have a date...

Oh and my first sleeve session is in under 3 weeks
