Peter Vardy.

Always used to be an Eastern customer but they messed me around when I was trying to buy an M2 last year.
Cheers,

I'd be gutted they put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Yes, I went for the ultimate pack in the end so pretty much everything other than CCBs.
Cheers,

I can see them on the phone, but not my laptop.

Did we ever get to the bottom of what was causing that for some people on some posts?

I found they (Peter Vardy) were bellends when I went to look at an X5.

My guess is that the site is on https, and you're posting http (unsecure) links to images and the browser is blocking them because it's not secure. Try an https image service (not that one though as the https cert on it isn't valid).

Pictures work fine for me on the desktop (Firefox), but not on Chrome or Edge.

That's a great colour blue, too. 8-)

Pasting them individually into the browser works.

Thanks, I'll have a look at getting https on that site, which it should have anyway but hasn't really been used for anything other than posting pictures of dogs and cars.
Cheers,

Mike.

Imgur always worked alright for me once I got used to the slightly clunky interface.

It looks awesome in that colour, I saw a white touring at the weekend and the blue looks so much better, especially the grill.

I've only dealt with one guy there and he's been brilliant. I did have that moment of thinking maybe I should talk to someone else at Eastern but didn't want to be "that guy" who went and basically told tales on a salesman as the only other person I knew was the head honcho.
Cheers,

Mike.

The grille definitely gets hidden a bit by the darker colour. I think I'll cut the front number plate holder down a bit as well as the full size UK plate just seems to draw attention to it.
