Yesterday I caught up with Chris who’s been working in Vanuatu. I hadn’t seen him in ages (a year or more maybe) and I’ve only just caught him as he’s about to leave for Vanuatu again this Friday.
I got a bit of a shock when I went outside and saw his new car. He just picked this up yesterday!
He had the exact same plates on his S2000 so that confused me as the plates were the first detail I saw. I then realised it wasn’t an M3, nor a 335i but a 135i! I then got even more confused: Chris aren’t you living and working in Vanuatu?!
Strange little car. Strange lines on the outside and inside. Car feels very firm and solid though, even at 3000rpm you can feel that it’s a very powerful and fast car. Chris drove it in Auto. The car felt a lot like an automatic, not a clutchless manual. I got Chris to shift down a few gears with his paddle shifters and it didn’t sound like it rev matched (so it might just be a full automatic gearbox?).
Cars aside, the real big news is that Chris and his wife are expecting! He’s excited which in turn made me excited for him!
