Well I have been away for quite sometime and am hoping to be back in the BMW fold again this week.

Story is: My missus lost her job, got another one but was part time. As it was within walking distance we decided to go down to one car. Unfortunately my lovely F31 was too long for her to drive. Shes not a confident driver and not very good at reverse parking. So I sold it along with her Ecosport and bought a little Golf GTI. Small enough for her but quick enough for this 63 year old.

Last May my Father died. He was my Mums carer. So I needed another car to run her around so took on my Fathers Ecosport Auto. Its fine for running around locally, but dreadful thing to drive otherwise. My wife also went full time again, so I could have kept my old car in the first place.

Anyway, I really miss my F31 and have decided that I will regret it if I dont buy another one while I can. My Nephew wants my Dads old car for his Wife, so he can have that at the PX value and I am doing a 2 hour drive to a dealer in Towcester to look at the above car on an 18 plate in black. We will keep the GTI as we both enjoy driving it.

I do hope it turns out to be a good one.

 

Morning Bruce

Hope the Test Drive goes well and Welcome Back
