at around 5.30 I had a slight moment of panic when I seen what I thought was my car a few cars in front of me (I was in my land yacht obviously) as the cars are identical with just one letter difference in our plates!
any one on here?

oh aye, I forgot that had been questioned before
OK then as you asked, why did a 30 year old buy a 7 series, well after owning 3 different 5 series over 3 years I decided to buy a brand new 530 at the end of last year.
By the time I chose a 5 the way I wanted it with leather, sat-nav, blue-tooth, 18" wheels, cruise control, automatic with steering wheel mounted steptronic, PDC, voice control etc etc etc the cost was around £46k
At the time BMW were offering the 730se for £45k, a saving of £6k of list price and as the 7 comes with EVERYTHING as standard is was a no brainer really. Also, there a very few of them on the road, especially the face lift model like mine so it alot more exclusive than a 5.
Considering it weighs almost 2 ton and is 5 metres long it's great fun, especially when you press the 'sport' button!! (231bhp and 0-60 in around 7.5)
The biggest pain however was that essentially the are made to order so I signed on the dotted line in December and it did not arrive in the UK until February (if I had waited another few weeks it would have been an 06 plate but I had lost patience by then!)

Your still ONLY 30 though!!!!!
In your defense (not that of course you need one!) it is the ultimate cruising ship, and i am sure gives you the ability to get from one job to the next being stress free enough that you could be planning that first shot!
I would just be worried about depreciation, but then i am a tight arse!

Don't think I've ever had man flu that bad. You must be lucky to be alive.
