At the moment, I don't.
We left for our holiday this morning and didn't get there. RAC blokie reckons the CPS has packed-up. Been recovered home. 'Phoning 'round for a CPS in the morning, if I can't get one tomorrow, holiday will be cancelled.
To say I'm p155ed off is putting it mildly. :cheese:

find a handily located 520i e34 and nick it off that :wink:

thats a shame dude, and she's been running so sweet for a while :cry:

As for loving my car, whats not to love? a Ԛ£300 box that gets me to the russian border and back, without a hitch!

I dont clean it very often, I drive it HARD sometimes, I've run it on 91ron for 2000 miles, I put lumps in the back and it keeps on coming back for more.

In short, I'd marry the bloody thing If I could :cool:
