Hell, even further afield :) But yay your photography :D *SO* not a petrol head, but I can appreciate how a car looks, and both are very purdy…

What is a semi automatic? ‘is confused’

It just means you can drive it normally as a fully automatic car, or choose to use the gears by knocking the gearstick up and down through them manually, but there’s no clutch to worry about (which means the gear changing is a lot smoother than in a manual). :)

Turned out it was a teenager who had never been taught that if you park your car on a hill not only do you apply the handbrake you leave the damn thing in gear too :twisted: So yet again mother's car has been into the garage to have dents undented and paint resprayed. Hopefully this little story will make you feel slightly better. I do like the BMW, would your brother trade it for a W reg Fiesta called Winston :eh: My mum went to back to her car a few weeks ago, where she had parked it in a non clamping proper parking space, only to find another parked car had got bored waiting for its owner and had rolled down the hill and only got stopped by my mum’s car being in the way.
