I've always taken good care of them. i wouldn't think twice of doing a long journey in the car. The only thing i miss from my other cars is cruise control. Weirdly I suffer from achy feet/ankles when driving it hard and find holding the accelerator on motorways uncomfortable. I transport the kids aged 3 and 4, they love it. (Daddy's noisy blue car) they prefer it to my 535d! Although they do get giddy in the Beemer went its floored!!! The Mrs wouldn't drive it as the clutch is heavy, she had a stint in a 16v a few years ago but is now spoilt with a lightweight modern small hatch. The best news is....... The williams will ALWAYS put a smile on your face. Get one bought!!
