Dangerously Happy!

Postby ozzy72 » Thu Jan 19, 2012 12:29 pm

As some of you know I got hauled into the CEO's office just before Xmas for a chat.
I've just got my new 3-Series BMW company car and she is LOVELY. Dark blue and seriously cool.
So now all she needs is a name... help!

hello Mark.
Our last Subaru Legacy (That I spent 2/3 of my life) was called Diana.

The first Subaru we had was called Magdalene.
Good luck naming your car and I hope you'll spend many happy years with her and You'll have many happy memories. :)
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

I've decided to call her Bettina, The Blue Bavarian Bitch! She raped the M1 on the way home whilst listening to some rather excellent Joan Jett and The Blackhearts a little too loud 8-)
Me like ;D ;D ;D ;D And Paul I did suggest a 1200GS as a company bike due to its practicality but the boss put a stopper in that saying he couldn't afford all the tickets I'd rack up :o :o :o So the Ducati was a no-hoper from the off, as was the R1000SS ::)

In a fit of brilliance this morning I left the camera at home :-[ So I've made up what my car looks like with the help of the BMW website, obviously mine is RHD and doesn't have German number plates but this is what my beastie looks like.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
