Other than you?

I'd like an M5 estate - sensible family car

Unlikely though.

Will probably stay put unless work circumstances change or a lottery win occurs.

Have higher priority stuff to spend on at the moment.

I'll be selling one of the Westfields at some point. Nothing else planned (yet).

It may be replace The Shed year with Another Shed. Might even get one with air con and air bags this time!

Nothing exciting, unless work gets sold then I might go mad, but not likely to be sold this year more's the pity

M3 is staying for the foreseeable.

Shiny new Production BMW E30 race car should be finished in the next month or so.

I was also meant to be collaborating with my brother on another race car project (involving a V8 ) but a change in family circumstances will probably put that on hold for a while

I've just literally been looking.

With my wife using the legacy for her job and doing 15-20k miles p.a. and it doing 20mpg something needs to give.

I was looking at 320D "Touring". 4-5 y.o about £10k.

I think I've plumped on getting a LPG conversion.

I can't see me chopping in the M5 for another year.

Racecar - hmmm - reckon thats going to sit in storage for another 12m.

OT: No changes foreseen for me.
