Very excited, but also worried!
Well, after what seems like a very long week (and an eternal 4 weeks searching) i'll be going to buy and pickup my new motor tomorrow. It seems it's quite well known on this forum having been owned from what I can gather by Peter A, then Bodski, then Lucko, and from tomorrow myself. A JDM Hawk STI.
I phoned Gary at keith michaels today to go ahead with his quotation, he ran through everything again, took my card details and then said right thats it done. I was like "will i get a cover note through, am i insured from today then?" - His response "We'll send you one in the post and yes".... it just seemed extremely quick for a 2 minute phone call to be insured just like that. Anyway the payment has been taken.
What worries me is that i dont even know if i am insured, i'm so used to getting an instant cover note through on email, but if i were stopped in the car all i can really say is "ermmm, yeah im insured with keith michaels" and that's it. I have nothing else to go by other than Gary saying on the phone "yeah that's it".... I know i may sound a bit of a worrier but that's just me i suppose.
Anyway, i'm going to take his word for it that i am insured!!! And look forward to picking up the car tomorrow

Car looks lovely.
Keith michaels have a good reputation on here so I'm sure you'll be ok.
I think you can check th MID to check if a car is insured tho.

Yeah problem is it just doesnt tell you whos insurance, so it could be who im buying it off, if that makes sense. Anyway as has been said sure im covered and payment has been taken so probably just over thinking it as im so used to getting a cover note.

I did ask about email but he just said no and i'm covered and i'll get one in post. As i say just seemed a little odd, nothing untoward, service was second to none and yes he can be hard to get hold of, and emailing is pointless you wont receive a response, you have to phone him directly but out of the 4 times i phoned him he answered twice so no issues from my side of things, probably just because i always go with insurer rather than broker than it seems a bit odd to me, but anyway as i say sure it's all fine.

Just sold my e92 m3 mate, i really hope it isn't worse than that If i was on it (which you really have to be at 8k with those things constantly) i'd see 140 miles from a full tank. I'm sure when i calculated it that was an average of about 10mpg. It really did like the juice.... Anyway, smiles per gallon not miles per gallon n all that!

Well, picked her up, paid the monies, love the car. Drives completely differently to a UK car, pulls and pulls and pulls and just wants to go. Done a tank and a half in this afternoon, only 1 niggle is that the front washer doesnt squirt, the rear is fine, front doesnt even make a noise, just dead, any ideas? fuse? motor? etc.
Also, i really need to get used to not putting my wipers on everytime i turn a corner

Anyone know what the little black keypad is for? And the button on the right of the IC Spray with the little red light on it?
Now done 2 tanks in 1 day, need to park it up for a bit, i think it's done more miles today than the last 3 years.
