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.Ascender wrote: Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:12 pm Hopefully pick it up on Monday which is probably a good idea given the weather we've got forecast for this weekend. Definitely needs a clean...

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

I can see them on the phone, but not my laptop.
You can quote his post and copy the photo urls into a browser / then they are visible.

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

Re: M3 Touring
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).Ascender wrote: Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:19 pmDid we ever get to the bottom of what was causing that for some people on some posts?

Pictures work fine for me on the desktop (Firefox), but not on Chrome or Edge.
That's a great colour blue, too.

Pasting them individually into the browser works.

Re: M3 Touring
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.

Imgur always worked alright for me once I got used to the slightly clunky interface.
Re: M3 Touring
It looks awesome in that colour, I saw a white touring at the weekend and the blue looks so much better, especially the grill.Ascender wrote: Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:12 pm Hopefully pick it up on Monday which is probably a good idea given the weather we've got forecast for this weekend.

Re: M3 Touring
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.scotta wrote: Wed Mar 08, 2023 9:25 pmI found they (Peter Vardy) were bellends when I went to look at an X5.

Re: M3 Touring
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.MikeHunt wrote: Thu Mar 09, 2023 11:06 amIt looks awesome in that colour, I saw a white touring at the weekend and the blue looks so much better, especially the grill.Ascender wrote: Wed Mar 08, 2023 3:12 pm Hopefully pick it up on Monday which is probably a good idea given the weather we've got forecast for this weekend.
