sold my bmw

Hi guys

My bmw got picked up tonight to go to lochgelly.
I'm glad it got sold because it was just taking up too much space and wasn't really getting used for anything and i had done every thing that was needing done to it. I managed to get a job out of it which i'm glad of.

Is it an automatic? I've never seen an auto (BMW or other) that didn't hesitate a moment before moving off...even the best have a tiny delay between "foot to the floor" and "off we go"
