I’ve sorted insurance and got road tax. I only bought six months, I don’t want a tax disc expiring in December so it always carries last year’s colour and looks old, and also I don’t want to have to buy car tax at Christmas time. Chris has called Natwest Winchester and checked their opening hours on a Saturday, and I’ve since called them and they say they’ll have all the paperwork ready to make it a quick and easy process. We’ll see!

It struck me I really wanted my old Blaupunkt DAB MMC car stereo back from Diane. It’ll really suit the M3 interior and it’s just the best stereo I’ve ever had. Given that Diane could really use a car stereo with a direct iPod connection, and I’ll need to buy a new one for the M3 anyway, we agree I’ll buy her a nice new stereo and have the Blaupunkt back. Good. I’ve still got the Tom Tom Go in the cupboard that went out of service when I got the 330d with sat nav, so that’s organised too.

Now then. Saturday can’t come soon enough!
