22 days until I take delivery.

Balster BMW Fact no 22:

A unique feature about BMW's plants is that they were all built with manufacturing flexibility. Basically, BMW can switch where each vehicle is manufactured based on factors such as market demand and manufacturing cost. This allows BMW to take advantage of market conditions to produce their vehicles as efficiently as possible and deliver them to consumers in a timely manner.

Balster BMW Fact no 21:

Can't wait to see some pics.
I'm excited too about picking mine up, but also terrified of driving it as its a lot of money and a very technologically capable machine.

eyeS · 02-12-2014, 01:30 PM

I'd struggle not to be down there having a look. If you think waiting is exciting, be prepared to start driving it with a great big smile on your face.

Balster · 02-12-2014, 01:48 PM

I'm flapping my hands in the air with anticipation and excitement.
I need a stiff drink to calm me down.

We are all waiting to see the pics.

Perhaps it will bring Balster out of orbit for a few moments. My delivery is over a month away but I feel just as excited and feel the countdown to blast off is about to begin.

16 days until I take delivery.

Balster BMW Fact no 16:

In 1955, BMW rolled out the BMW Isetta, the world’s first mass-produced 3-Litre/100km car. It came after WWII when cheap, short-distance transportation was most needed. This “bubble car” had only 3 wheels and became the top-selling single-cylinder car in the world.

Well I hope this isn't some kind of sign; It took me 6 hours to get to Halifax from Wolverhampton last night (should take 1.5 hours) and this morning I was due to get the train to Blackpool to collect the car, but due to serious weather conditions all NorthWestern routes have serious delays and cancellations. Delivery is OFF.

. Due to loads of business and family commitments, I probably can't collect until end of next week. Gutted.

Balster · 02-13-2014, 12:25 AM

Damn! Bad luck dude.
