New rule with the 530 was no kebabs
Nobody ever threw up in the car though which was handy.One thing that still suprises me is how many 'normal' people think its a really expensive car.
So I'm not the only one then
...I don't allow open food or drinks in my car, nor do I allow people who have had enough to drink that I think they may be sick. I never have done, not in any car I've owned, from my Fiesta nearly 8 years ago to the Jaguar today.
So I'm not the only one then
Thing is, i cant imagine a scenario where i ever would have drunk people in my car. Generally if anyone likely to get a lift is drunk, i would be drunk too. If i wasnt and they were then i am not charitable enough to turn out late at night to give people lifts
It was a combination of the mileage and the fact the guy wanted a quick sale - his replacement car was due the day after I collected it.
Amusingly his replacement car was.... a silver BMW 530i Sport with black leather and a manual box. Brand new again. I paid trade book price for the car.

I quite often drive when I go to the pub, as I don't really drink much, occasionally I have a couple of pints (obviously not when I am driving) but I'm not really much of a drinker, so I often drive. I don't go out to give people lifts, I just pick some friends up, go to the pub and then drop them off when I go home later.
In stark contrast to one of my closest friends who can scarcely comprehend going into a pub and not consuming alcohol

This. Although given most of my Uni friends are female it was invariably some crappy club rather than a nice quiet pub but hey you cant win them all
/me is jealous of moeks friends who have a free XJ taxi
I get all my drinks (soft drinks) paid for, for the whole night, and if I do fancy a drink, someone else will drive if I ask anyway, it's not a chore so they don't exactly get a free ride. But yea it's a popular car to ride in
...loads of space and extremely confortable, the other guy who typically drives has a Mini, so ...well that's a bit cramped to say the least.
