Just a quickie to introduce myself.

Found this forum, it seems about the most active E70 forum.

Have ordered an new E70, its due in 10 days - that'll be 10 very long days!

Spec:
3.0d SE, Sapphire Black + Beige Leather
Dynamic Pack
Media Pack
20" wheels
Privacy Glass
Alu Running Boards
Heated Seats
+ a few others extra's

I'll post a few pics when I get it, can't wait.

Cost = a s**t load, by my calculation the equivalent of US$89,000. Oh how I love UK car prices. How much would that vehicle be in the US?

Nice colour combo same as mine.. I presume bamboo trim as well..??. Lovely !!

Staying down near the bay (the argonaut). Was gonna jump in a cab to get from the airport - or do you locals know a better way?

In the US generally Cabs aren't as expensive as the UK or EU.. So it would be your cheapest option and with the least headache. Cabs also tend to be a bit less clean. If you want to spend a bit more (I not much really), charter a "limo" which could be a simple black Lincoln Town Car and have them pick you up at a specific time for drop off. Also, check with the hotel as they might provide complimentary shuttle.

SF - Great place your going to love it There's a really nice fish restaurant on the docks near Pier 39 called Scoma's. It gets really busy but it's worth the wait!

Are you driving through Yosemite? If you get chance give it a go, it's my favourite place on the planet - beautiful!

While your in vegas would you take a peek at the Cosmo site next to the Bellagio. We've bought a condo there and it's been looking like just a big hole for a loooong time!

No we're not going to Yosemite, only in SF for around 4 days.

Vegas - we have looked at the cosmo site also as we go to vegas regular, at least once a year. Cosmo looks great, we stay at Bellagio and are interested in seeing how far they have got with it. We will be taking another look at whats available.

Hope you have a marvellous time, soooo jealous. We have a little one on the way so won't be getting away until next year

Any pics of the cosmo construction/hole would be appreciated. We bought ours early 2005 in tower 1 - the last est. completion date I heard was end 2009! That's almost a 2 year delay!
