Ive got a feeling prices are going to rise stupidly north

The buoyant market will flush out more cars for sale.

I'd never seen another one one the road before, and then I bump into you at a service station

I don't even remember where in Germany that was!

2007 I bought mine I sometimes think of selling as having a young one means I does not get out much.
I then go for a drive and fall in love again.

Now that they're fast drying up in the market, and most of us have no great intention of selling, I really do get the impression that demand is starting to build. There's almost an air of "if I don't get one now, I won't be able to afford one next year"

When I was in Norway last year in my 968CS, I happened to stumble upon a BMW car meet which had endless BMW M cars in the meet. Didn't spot one E46 CSL!

Then I looked up how many were sold in Norway - 3!

Of course, in mainland Europe, they're even rarer than they are here in the UK. According to howmanyleft, the UK has lost about ~40%, perhaps they've probably lost about the same percentage in LHD land, which might explain the reaction Alex's car had in Italy.

This sounds like the perfect way to create a very fragile market bubble

The way to do it is we take it in turns to put our cars for sale for £15k above current prices then as soon as someone rings we say first inquirer bought it for another £5k above asking so it's sold.

If we all take it in turns to do this monthly over the next 24 months, you watch the big money roll in
