Pour it into the filler cap Dan, but you as you know, you turn the oil bottle back to front so you don't get the "Gulp gulp" effect and spill it everywhere. :D

Your photo only looks better than the one I posted because of the angle, and can still see lots of messy wires and cables in it. Also, I see lots of plastic too!!!

You've been "Brainwashed" Spencer.
The only plastic there is the Airbox, and the cover for the AFM :D

Haha not even slightly! Given the choice between M50 and M30 I go M30 every time. But between S50 and M30, it's got to be S50. And looks-wise, there's no contest for me :)

S50 would be my option now, but I can't get hold of one that I know for 100% would be a good engine at a price that I will pay for, not what someone thinks it's worth.
But M30 FTW! :D

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

The obvious solution to "period" and no plastic, but combining the benefits of 24v and 286 bhp is an M88.

I know where there is one. There's a box of lights and a pair of trailing arms lying on top of it at the moment.
