Jac Barnett

Hello all, I'm Jacqueline when I answer the phone at work, and Jac absolutely everywhere else. About to move to St Neots on Cambs / Beds border.

I'm having to Google up a lot of these models cos I don't know what they are. Oh its an education being on the BMWoc forum. :D

Dabsy, I WAS the vehicle in front. Probs the only time an M3 has been seen going so slowly its causing a tailback????

Yes, this pic is my car. Its an M3. I was just having a little look on Autotrader last April when I saw it. I had no clue what owning an M3 was all about, I just fell in love with the imola red paintwork and interior. I still haven't found anyone else with that colour combo.

Hello Sam, welcome, how long have you had your Z4?

Hello everyone, when I finally could see the results of the re-spray, (I had to wait till the weekend cos of the dark and car covered in dirt again), the work done was very good. When I picked the car up I did have a fault caused by the door sensor not working properly, so the system thought the door was open the whole time. Gav, god love and keep him, helped me sort that out. No fault of the paint shop guys though, it was because of, but not caused by, the work they did. Once I could survey it, there was some polish and masking stuff left on the car, so I took it back for those to be tidied up, and I also asked them to have a look at three issues I had with the paintwork which had been on the car since I bought it, and they also did those, all of it for no further cost. All in all, work done - excellent, communication - excellent, service - excellent. Willingness to go the extra mile - yes. They are Get Smart in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, http://www.getsmarte....uk/contact.htm

Great pics Al, love that gorgeous red one, heeheehee. They are such likeable people in our club. Good times!

RangieBob, take a look at this - I wasn't quite sure what the E60 530d looked like, so I did a little Google search, and on the very first page - there you are!! Fame!

Mind you, I also dream about having a big stable block type garage and then I guess that AS WELL AS the red shiny baby, I'd have an E90 M3 and a Veyron, And a Triumph Rocket 3. And a trail bike. And deffo an Aston Martin, oh god, but which one.....?

I have to tell you, that if I had all the money in the world I would honestly, definately, keep the car I already have. Oh my god how I love it. I fantasize at night about what I would buy it if money was no object.....

That is a lovely looking car. Welcome. South east group are having a meet soon in Milton Keynes, can you make it? http://www.bmwownersclub.com/forums/index.php/topic/9193-new-year-meet/

Good grief, every time I turn around, there you are, helping me

How come there isn't a button for deleting a post if you accidently posted the same thing twice? :(

Here are some of the other ones, that he accepted were new. So he agreed that a respray would be required for both doors, the front bumper and near side quarter panel. I'll have to pay for the offside one.

These are the ones that the inspector said were old, they are on the off side rear wheel arch

And then, on the 27th November, or thereabouts, an inspector came and told me that a number of the stone chips were old ones that had been touched in. I had said that 5 panels were damaged, he said that one of them had only old damage. He was a nice bloke, btw, an owner of a number of different BMWs, currently driving X5, and he said he himself would never drive on recently stone chipped roads. Today Kiely Bros have said that they will pay for the respray that they consider to be their responsibility. This leaves me to pay about £200 to include the fifth panel. This is a brilliant result and I am very very pleased.

And then I got this letter

Then I got this letter

After a couple of weeks I got this letter

Yeh, its hard to improve on perfection. :D

Have you got the vert or the coupe?

A few weeks ago our local council decided to resurface all the roads on my journey to work. With stone chips. You know where I'm going with this already eh? I drove my beloved car at the specified 20 mph. I didn't notice anybody else driving particularily fast. No one overtook me. However, the very next time I washed the car I noticed 12 stone chips, in my previously perfect paint. I have chips on the front bumper, driver's side corner. Chips in the doors, bizarrely, both sides??? And on the rear wheel arch drivers side. I would need to respray pretty much the entire car to return it to how it was. Has anybody ever tried to get money out of the council for this kind of damage?

Hello mate, what a good choice of car you've made, and I bet you're loving the red leather..........

Daz, did I meet you at Santa Pod? Martin reckons I did. Its a bit tricky matching up people's user name with their actual name with their real life self, but I don't think I've met you! And you won't get a slap, I'm very peaceful!
