(phew!)... got away with that one... ;-)

I'm steadily compiling enough material for a book or a TV program devoted
purely to the subject of the driving and roadcraft habits of BMW drivers...
I plan to format it as a kind of spoof version of the highway code book...

e.g:

"Q: What is the procedure when approaching two lanes of merging
traffic?"

"A: - 1: slow down and attempt to merge in turn"

"A: - 2: floor it at full speed past both queues and push in right at
the
front"


"Q: What is the purpose of the minimum braking distance between
vehicles
travelling at speed?"

"A: - 1: to promote safety by avoiding collisions in the event of the
sudden
braking of the vehicle in front"

"A: - 2: These gaps are provided for the benefit of BMW's to ensure
that
they can freely swerve across all three lanes of a carriageway to take up
their preferred position (in the overtaking lane)"

No prozes for guessing the answers... ;-)

and it starts from only a tad over £21K... :-)

I would have to agree,  - I don't think the 220 is a realistic proposition
this time round, - just there to add a bit of fantasy I suppose, - but at
the end of the day, SWMBO likes her creature comforts too much, and
probably
wouldn't get on with a "proper" sports car... I also would not
contemplate
buying a car without aircon ever again, so that point is also true. Sat-nav
is such a wonderful invention that I'd have to agree with you on that one
as
well...
