    just go ahead and start drinking now to get in the habit..... :-D

    Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

      I was thinking more to the tune of Jack Daniels. Kids are great, but they can give you grey hair fairly quickly.( I have three Teenage boys.....)

        1. I bought a new, well I say new, nearly new - 9 month old approved BMW 320d MSport with 1,000 miles on the clock with all the gizmos and gadgets you could wish for. And, man, what a cracking car that thing is to drive - I went out for a drive in it the other night for no other reason then just for fun - and I haven't done that since I first past my test, and for a four door diesel saloon that is quite amazing :-) The missus now calls me a car geek instead of just a geek. 2) And speaking of the missus - she is preggers! Which means we will be expecting our first child in January - eeek!! No I'm not prepared, yes I am petrified - well not as much as the Mrs is about having to push the thing out :-) But we are both over the moon! Any tips? :-D

                BMW 3.20d... I'm not sure if that is fast enough to run away... with an M3 probably you would succeed... but with a 3.20d... :rolleyes: Congrats! :thumbsup:

                    Not only that, but you'll have to buy a bus. If it's any consolation, (it isn't) I've just done the same thing myself.

                      I think you'll be able to keep the car, but every available inch of it is going to get filled with stuff for the baby each time you go out. And you will be forever cleaning piss, shit, and puke off the insides of it, often the outsides too, not to mention mushed up food, drink, unidentifiable sticky stuff. There will come a point where you just cannot be bothered cleaning it anymore.

                              Both, and yourself. I saw a comment from someone somewhere a short while ago that was something along the lines of "Before I became a parent the question 'how much vomit is OK on a t-shirt?' never had any answer other than 'none', now it varies daily".

                                Ahh yes, an M3 - you can pick up a decent E90 model for a reasonable price, but the running costs are stratospheric. Although the 320d is still pretty quick. Quicker than the mrs can walk anyway :)

                                    Ahh yes, an M3 - you can pick up a decent E90 model for a reasonable price, but the running costs are stratospheric. Although the 320d is still pretty quick. Quicker than the mrs can walk anyway :)

                                      Both, and yourself. I saw a comment from someone somewhere a short while ago that was something along the lines of "Before I became a parent the question 'how much vomit is OK on a t-shirt?' never had any answer other than 'none', now it varies daily".

                                        I think you'll be able to keep the car, but every available inch of it is going to get filled with stuff for the baby each time you go out. And you will be forever cleaning piss, shit, and puke off the insides of it, often the outsides too, not to mention mushed up food, drink, unidentifiable sticky stuff. There will come a point where you just cannot be bothered cleaning it anymore.

                                          1. I bought a new, well I say new, nearly new - 9 month old approved BMW 320d MSport with 1,000 miles on the clock with all the gizmos and gadgets you could wish for. And, man, what a cracking car that thing is to drive - I went out for a drive in it the other night for no other reason then just for fun - and I haven't done that since I first past my test, and for a four door diesel saloon that is quite amazing :-) The missus now calls me a car geek instead of just a geek. 2) And speaking of the missus - she is preggers! Which means we will be expecting our first child in January - eeek!! No I'm not prepared, yes I am petrified - well not as much as the Mrs is about having to push the thing out :-) But we are both over the moon! Any tips? :-D

                                          As somebody with a 5 week old, you have my condolences. Expect lots of people to tell you it gets better...in several months time...while you feel like you can't make it another day. Enjoy!
