What a week...

Well the last seven days have been a whirlwind of events for me!

• Last Thursday, I got the call to tell me I'd got the new job I was going for, so that's the end of 24 hour on-call and two hours commuting every day from October 6th
• Thursday evening, I sold my ZX7-R
• Friday morning, for the first time ever, I actually had to hand in a resignation (I've always kind of just moved jobs before somehow)
• Friday afternoon, one of my colleagues, a cracking guy who really was responsible for the re-awakening of the biker in me, left for a new job
• Saturday, I spent the day looking at old Jag XJs before a champagne supper with my parents to celebrate the new job
• Sunday morning, I dropped off my ZX7-R to its new owner
• Sunday afternoon I went out and bought a BMW 730i with all the lovely cash I'd been given five hours previously
• Monday I spent being congratulated on my escape by my colleagues
• Tuesday was quiet... ish
• Wednesday my trusty shed of a Volvo went in for MOT... and failed
• Thursday I've spent rushing about trying to get a tyre fitted and dismantling the tailgate to fit number-plate lamp bulbs

I'm knackered... And bikeless for the first time in nearly three years. It's a bit weird, but I'll be back on two wheels next summer after a winter of saving and learning the ropes at my new job.

Congratulations on the new job Dan

Well, there's new... and then there's 'new'... The computer's quite dumb, to be honest.

Congrats on the new job matey.

Congrats on the job Dan. Is this the car?

Lol thanks mate...

That's about what I'm going for. I'm going to have to pimp a whole lotta crack-ho's to pay for it.

So you are trying to save money whilst driving a 730i?! Good luck with that!

In all seriousness - good luck

I'm not really trying to save money... not particularly hard, anyway... Just the shorter trip to work will do that, so I can just carry on as normal
