Thanks ancient...glad to hear you made the plunge! You drive down? I'm here in michigan now for a couple/few weeks visiting family/friends. Yeah it's definitely hot out that is for sure! I'm freezing my u know what off up here in Michigan. I can't say I've seen 70 degrees fahrenheit in months let alone 50's....Michigan is so green it is crazy! There isn't a dead thing anywhere! Can't wait for woodward...i miss lots of things but definitely not the roads![:'(]

Saw that Aquill..........the GB girl was thew red hot favourite. Couldn't quite take to her, maybe it was the commentators fault I dunno. All hyped up and she was gonna win the race before it started[&:]
Anyways got of to a good start then fell behind.............while tryin to make up lost ground, BAM, hit the wheel of the girl in front and finished dead last!
Good race, won by a French girl I think, although that could be wrong....lol

Visited Silk Cottage tonight, a lovely Chinese restaurant run by one of my long time friends Alan Tang.
Took me out for a ride in his brand new BMW M5..........£65K worth of car and not difficult to see why.
This thing is absolutely AWESOME.....No other word even comes close to describing it.
Sat in the car and the seat bolsters automatically adjust to your frame electronically......weirrrrd feeling. Auto with manual shift options and Paddle shift on the steering wheel as well................400bhp is amazing in itself, but when you press the M button, everything tightens up and it goes into MANIAC mode ( At least thats what I think M must stand for !!! ) and you have just over 500 bhp at your fingertips.
0 - 60 mph is 4.7 secs and limited to 155bhp although he has had the limiter romoved and 204mph is possible although he hasn't tried so far....lol
WHAT A MACHINE........I WANT ONE
