Replying to: hpowders (Apr 11, 2008 8:04 am) It is nice to read about your `doings`, and we have missed you....Yes bmw is arrogant, but not as much as Mercedes...I swear they are the worse...I wish Merc1 was still posting here, as he really knew Mercedes, and was a lively soul....On my front--as you can see- I am trying to improve my Spanish, and Jose is going to help..  I sort of thought you were laying low, so as not to give your hand away, and make the best deal of the new car` to be`...How are your thoughts coming along? Tony

Replying to: anthonyp (Apr 11, 2008 1:12 pm) Everything is fine here in the great state of Florida. Just another warm, sunny day, high around 86 degrees. I'll try to survive.  I'm currently thinking a BMW 1 Series Coupe may be the perfect antidote to my 545i. As breathtaking as the 4.4 liter 325 horsepower 32 valve V-8 engine with 4 overhead camshafts and of course, steplessly variable air intake manifold is, I do miss the handling of a smaller vehicle. The 545i simply isn't as tossable as a 3 Series. I would imagine the 1 Series Coupes should present quite a bit of exhilaration, although not as great a differential in handling from the 3 Series to the 1 Series as from the 5 Series to the 3. BMW has simply made the 1 Series too darn heavy for its size! In the Walmart Super Center parking lot, my wife after enduring my 6 minute search for the perfect parking spot, exclaimed "Why don't you just get a smaller car?" (As if the size of the vehicle had anything to do with my meticulousness!) (Why can some women be so clueless?) I will let you know what I finally decide on. I still have until the end of July. I hope you continue to find the North Carolina hills a pleasant place to reside.

Replying to: jlbl (Apr 11, 2008 7:32 am) While traveling in Canada a few years ago we visited an old settlement that had been established by the French. They were called Acadians and they were forced out of Canada in the 1700's. Quite a few of them ended up in the U.S. in south Louisiana and are now know as our lovely Cajuns. Who would have guessed?

Replying to: hpowders (Apr 11, 2008 1:30 pm) Ugh, don't even get me started on Walmart parking lots. If there's another place where you are more likely to end up with a nice big fat scrape or dent, I haven't found it. |
