    Of course you're glaring. This beast has found its way to your house, at your invitation admittedly, but that doesn't make it any easier. Right, names?

    Just think of how much more freedom you are gonna have now.

    Make sure you bling them up a bit (spray the wheels pink or something lol).

    I'm useless at names but I did like the BMW one.

    I've been thinking about the 'BMW' and I think these are better choices for the M biit: magical, magnificent, marvellous and 'mazing. I thought about 'minging' but decided that was too negative. :wink:

    Have you undone it yet my lovely? I hope so, and I also hope you are all out for a lovely evening stroll - I'm assuming that you have the weather that I have, it's lovely here. DD

    if it gives you your life back it worth it nothing worse than missing out on trip because you can not keep up. just think of all the shopping you can get on it so perhaps it should be

    Oh Barbara

    I do hope it really helps with getting out and about, think of all the shopping you can do now.

    With your GD's help you'll be doing wheelies soon.

    I love DD's BMW - stealing DD's idea, sorry :oops: I can only come up with
    Barbara's Beamer 7 series of course :wink:
    Barbara's Boxster

    Only prestige models for us and don't forget the 'go faster' stripes and musical horn - that will shift people out of your way!

    Good on you...I had an electric wheelchair for when I had my fusion surgery. My word, it does allow freedom.

    At 26 years old, I was so glad to be getting around instead of being inside.

    Right, forget smashing the bottle of champers over the BMW at launch-time, clutch said bottle and gaily swig as OH or GD propel you along. No need for a glass. :wink: Just as a well-known chain of food retailers says ' Every little helps.' And it does. DD

    I'm waiting with breath bated for the movie of the BMW's maiden voyage, starring our very own, one and only, lovely Barbara. (But I'll settle for a report.) I hope it was to somewhere nice.
