    Bumped into the first owner of my car today ( well his son )

    Bit of a random one this, I was visiting a supplier earlier today and on my way back to work stopped at the side of the road to make a call and a white van pulled up in front of me.

    I thought he wanted me to move but he got out and we started chatting - his dad bought it from the main dealer with a couple of thou on the clock - he used to service it (worked at a BMW tuner) then they sold it onto a mate, who in turn sold it to Chris g before it became mine.

    I know chris used to look after it very well and speaking to the Gent earlier its had quite a pampered life! he took a photo for his dad and I mentioned the 10th anniversary bash.

    Strange how small the world is!

    @SGHOM did you used to buy NOS from a BMW tuning garage? he used to sell it you!

    You were the only person I could think of with a NOS powered VR4 - it was a grey/silver saloon,
