i asked at sytners 2 weeks ago if they were going to sell the b10 numbers but they said they would probably keep them as they think the b10 might come back ! mind you there must be plenty of b5 plates out there

2 'ALPINA' sightings

Well they weren't - but they had all the styling...

I've added them to the busted section of the register:

A nice Black with full Silver side decos (stripes):

... as you can see it nearly got away :?

And a dark green one:

Just spent an extremely fun long weekend at Le Mans with Goose.

No Alpina sightings in France, but on our return to the UK last night we spotted a rather unusual beast at about 11.45pm on the M25 heading between Jcts 10 and 9:

B10 3.0 Allrad with a great plate - B10 FWD (think about it :D )
Charles
Teacher of Chemistry and driver of ALPINAs - not necessarily in that order ;)
B3S Touring (49/116) - been to the moon and now on the way back!
Renault Grand Espace - not mine but the wife's!
