it was a sad day indeed yesterday.
a nice chap from Kent flew up to Glasgow in the morning. promised to look after the car gave me a wad of cash and took it away. I keep looking for it everytime i go out the door but it's not there 
don't worry alcohol is helping to numb the pain. shank's pony for now.

As a M5 nut myself I understand. Give it time it'll be ok, trust me. Take your time and wait for something special to come along and go for it. Hope you're not still thinking about an X5. Go for an Alpina B12 7 series, would suit you sir.

Ah well mate...you've had some serious years of fun in it. Time to look omwards and upwards.
Would I be way off if you were planning on bringing the good ol VW days back?? A nice standard R32 possibly for you to mod?? |

You'll not be the only one who'll be sad to see the M5 gone Stevie.
I had a real soft spot for that car!  |

An end of an era as Cambell says, but all the best in finding a replacement Stevie, I've spotted a couple I'll send to you tomorrow.
A couple of moments with the beast...    Look forward to seeing you at the AGM!! |

Oh dear Stevie, never mind onwards and upwards. I think
most had a certain soft spot for that car, she took some abuse right enough! 
See you about,
