Great pics!!!

How far you wind up driving?

former · 09-07-2009, 09:16 AM

That's a great looking car in a damn pretty country!

Harry135 · 09-07-2009, 09:24 AM

Thank you - its in Wales, an area called Snowdonia. I don't live any where near there...haha. Did just over 600 miles in 1.5 days, yesterday (Sunday) I drove for 10 hours only stopping for fuel..

joeo · 09-07-2009, 09:53 AM

Beautiful country! Isn't always a bummer when you reach your destination in the 135i?

so jealous of those roads

HiProfile Robs · 09-07-2009, 10:37 AM

Love the pics/color and it sounds like it was a fun drive!

datbimmerdoe · 09-07-2009, 04:57 PM

Amazing pics! thanks for sharing.

dubdemand · 09-07-2009, 06:19 PM

Nice! Planning a winter trip upto Scotland in mine once it lands! And, no doubt the first week of ownership will have me going out for a ''quick'' drive at any time night or day!

Congrats on the new ride!

Snowdonia is fantastic! That was the first weekend trip I took with my 135 when I was living in Cambridge. (http://www.pbase.com/sansnoetic/wales --not many pics b/c I spent it all driving!)

Just amazing country side and winding roads!! Sadly all I have now are straight, flat Florida roads.

Thanks for the pics and making me remember the good times...

BMW86 · 09-07-2009, 09:37 PM

Amazing pics and your car looks awesome!! Congrats!

cagekicker · 09-07-2009, 10:17 PM

Well if you didnt get to your destination then that would mean you either died or got abducted by aliens

It si funny since mine is a week old and I have been tempted to just go driving as well. My girlfriend is constantly at me to let her drive, and then I smack her on the nose! and say...No! Bad girl, now you sit there and be good and look out the window and dont drool on the car.

Harry135 · 09-07-2009, 11:47 PM

Thanks all for your comments...have to say had the best time!!

As you can see I ran out of country...so had to turn back else I still may be out there driving.....but in the end had to come on home....

Some of the roads were spectacular!

great color

Joey_T · 09-08-2009, 01:50 AM

Sort of like a Forrest Gump - started running and just went on and on

All jokes aside, I bet it was an amazing trip and you sure did make a lot of very nice pics

Landscape looks beautiful and love that LMB color! Thanks for sharing.

Robert · 09-08-2009, 03:20 AM

Thank you for showing us Scotland. Had a similar experience last night to a lesser extend. I finished doing some work at 3am feeling frustrated and caged up all night, hopped in my car and headed to an construction area with freshly laid asphalt, completely deserted and had some fun.

Its Wales (not Scotland) Robert..

I am getting 'urges' lately to take late night drives. The one to Wales was just great it was so early Sunday I saw no other cars around...fantastic!
