A Day From The Diary Of A Bmw Driver

[Ronnie W.]

A day from the diary of a BMW driver...

 

"The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars.

 

First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off the slip road! I had to squeeze into a barely big enough gap between two cars in order to get onto my motorway!

 

The driver of the car behind me did realise his mistake though and honked an apology to me with a long blast of his horn.

 

Unbelievably, I had to do the same again before I could get to the BMW lane.

 

Anyway, once I was in the BMW lane and posing along at 110 mph enjoying the adulation that the inferior car drivers were giving me, I noticed an inferior car ahead of me which was not only in the BMW lane of my motorway, but was driving at a ridiculous 70 mph!

 

Naturally, I got within a foot or so of his rear bumper and flashed my headlights to remind him he shouldn't be in the BMW lane of my motorway and to get out of my way.

 

Of course, once he realised it was a BMW behind him, he did just that, but I could hardly believe it when he pulled straight back out behind me!

 

He also tried to keep up with me and when he realised I would out-run him, he put on some blue lights in his front grill and urged me to get onto the hard shoulder so that he could congratulate me on my excellent car.

 

Needless to say, I was eager to oblige and when we had stopped, the man gave me a piece of paper confirming what I already knew - that my car goes fast!

 

Apparently he wants everyone to know what a superior car I have, so I had to take my drivers licence to a police station to be sent away to have some points put on! (They're not free points either - they're £20 each and I was only allowed 3.) But the man at the police station said that because I drive a BMW, it won't be much longer before I earn the full 12 points, and then I won't even NEED a driving licence, so they will take it off me!

 

See, now THAT'S the sort of respect you get when you own and drive a BMW! "

Just had to trade my BMW 3 series Touring in for a Galaxy owing to the no. of sproglets appearing everywhere and I've been very sad indeed, but maybe reading your post I HAVE done the right thing.

 

If only the Galaxy had the same build quality seeing as it wasn't far off the same price :P

 

Oh and to the poster who wanted to down size...you would not be disappointed if you could bear to be tarred with the above BMW owners brush!! Mine was top spec with sat nav, leather seats, climate control and just sold it for

Yup i have to agree.

I used to have a 330d touring a boy what a motor.

Build quality was far better than anything else ive ever owned.

Its just a shame most are driven by w*****s.

(Me being the biggest :lol: )

Im there too but I got to keep both the Beemer and the Gal.

 

However I do also have (running looking for a hiding place) a Landrover Discovery, and that just eats all the things that wont fit in the Galaxy.

How do you get things to fit in a Disco that wont fit in the Gal.

I thought about buying a Disco last year but thought the room inside was very disapionting for a car of its size.

I must admit though i never keep the sixth & seventh seat in the Bamma so ive got more space than i know what to do with.

Adrian its like a tardis when you open the door and its like a black, whole not only does everything fit in it at once, the money in your pocket leaps into the fuel tank and all your possessions end up on the back seat......oops too much information.

 

Im off to find a dark parking space so I can sleep.
