    Mine.

    Sad to see her go. But going to a real enthusiast. She treated me amazingly well. Hopefully the new owner gets as much joy from her as I did.

    Thanks Joe S. for your invaluable assistance in bringing us together.

    Simon I am glad it is going to a good home, and I have always enjoyed your pics and AVATAR keep that ;). What are you replacing the F40 with? Is new owner on f-chat?

    Thanks Erik. Not sure currently. Another baby due in may (Amanda is 7 months pregnant in the pic above) so looking for something more useable with 4 seats. Haven't fallen in love with anything yet, but have some ideas...

    Best wishes, Simon

    After many years of fits and starts I'm finally an F40 owner!

    Thanks to Simon for his help (and patience) in making this happen. Working with him on this transaction has been a true pleasure. I promise that she will be going to a good home.

    As Simon, mentioned this wouldn't have happened without Joe's help. His support and guidance have been invaluable.

    Thanks to many others in the community (especially Jas!) for their time and sage advice.

    Now the waiting begins.....

    "looking for something more useable"


    That leaves a LOT of options ....

    Beautiful car, beautiful family. That young man may be a little ticked off in a few years, I'd keep these pics away from him.

    Your timing is perfect Simon. Congratulations. I hope the new owner will enjoy it. The pictures of your F40 were gorgeous.

    Thanks to everyone for the kind words. This is going to be the longest two week wait of my life. I was lucky to find my CGT less than 5 miles from my house. This time I don't think I could have traversed a further distance and stayed within the contintental US! I'll post pics of the CGT and F40 when she arrives. Guess its time to buy a camera :)

    I knew it would be hard to put that second car seat on that F40!

    Congratulations. Thanks for letting me take some photos for you.

    Congrats Simon for baby #2!!!! And congrats Josh for buying such a great example. However, I think Josh's QP should have been part of the deal. Sounds like Simon will need it more now ;):D:D

    All the best to both of you!

    P.S Oh and Joe, great work man!

    Speaking of the QP...Simon, if you & your wife can live with a 2 door Maser...The new Gran Turismo is spectacular!
    I love the one I just purchased for my wife....& she did put two child/baby seats in it. :)

    Congrats to both gentlemen!!

    Simon, congrats on the arrival of your second child!!

    Nothing better than BMW safety, driving and handling!! Have you considered the M5 or the new 4 dr M3??? The M5 is real wolf in sheeps clothing, great comfort and you can take it to the track!

    Hope to see you in another F40 one day!
