Jealous, moi?
Mind you, your monthly depreciation is more than I would pay for a car
I saw a silvery 6 drop top near Newburn B&Q yesterday. Could have been you?

Nope....I haven't taken delivery of the car yet.
Depreciation is just a fact of life unless you're buying a classic and it's almost always going to be commensurate with the value of the car you're buying.
E46 M3's are dropping money by the shedload right now - so if you're buying anything less than 3 years old you're going to be hit hard in todays market

That's why I went for the six. I figure I'd be paying less in increased
petrol bills than I was paying on depreciation for my Audi.
My E30 Touring probably won't lose much of it's £2k price either.
If you can afford a brand new 645 I dare say you can afford the depreciation.
Shame you can't make it tonight Chris. Gonna be quite a convoy!

My whole diary is a list of 'cannot makes' right now!
Even to the point that we're now having to move our holiday! There's a cost to that too but I'll be compensated for it, but things don't get much more hectic than they are at the moment.
Have a good one and hopefully we can have a mini-meet-run before too long?

Thanks Grahame, hopefully there will be another run soon and you will get to see it. I am doing a run with another group in a couple of weeks time around the Borders, looks a good route.

There were spaces but I think yesterday was the deadline? (Tim - E46ACS?) It's a shame your car would have made a nice addition to the pack...
I am not sure what time I will be able to get to Gaydon on Sunday but will defo try to be there at some point to see the guys from the NE and nick some of the sausages and burgers from the Scot lads! 
You've got my mobile number if you can make it.... I'm sure there will be a large convoy back home in the evening!! 
Cheers
