    It's insane alright, I've had my car only one year, 80,000 on the clock when i got it and now 139,000, sooo yeah!

    Also on another note, dgt, went go karting at the zone up round your place, I think we should do a thing there, like a boards grand prix or something?

    Nearly 60k miles in a year?? :eek:

    I do love karting but I would be worried I would be fierce slow. Could you imagine the shame of coming last!

    Had a few issues, first qualifying the drive shaft popped out so I didn't qualify. Started 41st and finished 16th which I was happy with plenty of overtaking and finished just behind my team mate and was half a second faster. It was a new track, new car I have never driven on proper slicks with a sequential box. It was so fast but I actually surprised myself though :)

    That's some good racing, man!
    Imagine if you started further up, I'll be watching closer from now on. :D

    I know of a Golf that is probably the fastest car in the country

    Faster than this particular Mk3 I suggested?
    Apparently this one showed a clean pais or heels to an RS6 :P

    I'm currently sitting in George Dalton's getting the boot latch replaced. It helpfully failed while I was over in France with a crap load to get into the boot. Had to pack and unpack the car by lowering the rear seats to get into the boot.

    Could have been worse I suppose, could've failed with the boot open.

    BMW in the garage today!

    New MAF and drop links this time.

    Has anyone ever taken theirs to BMW for the free health check?
