I'd love to come along but I have a feeling that I will be stuck inside fitting a new bathroom suite.

Also I don't think I could keep up in my focus

She might not like much if I get you guys to gang up on her too.......
I could coincidentally run into the meet (not physically) at a designated spot and stop to have a chat

Do you have cushions in the house? I'm not helping much but I'm getting my PPD up.
Who'd do a thing like that, eh?

What - me?

Eni, the regular Surrey meet is pub based not a proper driving meet so no worries about turning up in a Focus. Sometimes we kick tyres a bit in the car park, but mainly we chat and have dinner.

Come along and bring your missus and we cna convince her its a good idea to get an S or you can just have some food.

Go to the meet. At worst, you can get her drunk and tell her she agreed but must have been too drunk to remember.

Come to the meet, she can come out in the Z4 i currently have - I guarantee she'll hate it so much she'll be crying for the S

If you are saving pennies, I wouldn't bother with the GT - just gotta store the roof, and I haven't come across a time during the winter where I would have put one on.

Just be prepared for a shocker with the insurance - I'm 29 with minimal NCB (i.e. none due to a friendly vandal on my company car insurance) and 6 points, no fault accidents, and it's 2k cheapest quote.

Eni
watch Kelk and Dreamer.....they'll have you kite flying before you know it


But def consider an S. Great car and a lot of cash but worth the experience. You can always sell it if you decide the cash would be better in your pocket. Just expect a few K less - remember though, you have experienced a really sublime car for the money.

Its a struggle to sell though, by that I mean not finding the punters (as for the right money anything will sell) but the 'letting go feeling'. Its my fourth year of ownership so tells you a little how good the car is.

I need to sell mine to fund other plans; but I am constantly putting it off. The current put off is MM2 (our annual big meet). I want to go to that THEN I`ll sell it (I think )

The point of most cars is to get you & your stuff where you want to go, & as such, it is a bit of a waste to have one sitting outside doing nothing most of the week, but...

The point of an S is the journey, & believe me, if you get one you'll both be making plenty of them, weekday or no...
