Right, mammoth PM session complete! :mad:

So, everyone has my email address now. Please use it to keep in touch with me (I'll get emails before PM's or reading the threads). For generic info please continue to use the thread. If you send me your email addresses I'll use them for 'group communication' (so I don't have to repeat said PM session...), thanks.

I hope to see as many of you as possible on Sunday 27th! :D

Hello folks,

This is me signing off for the next week - it'll be radio silence until a week on Monday!

I'll see you at Stirling services (May 27th, 7pm) whoever is coming - the more the merrier :D

Meet in the car park next to the Little Chef / Hotel.

Everybody ready for tomorrow then lads?
Ive just made it! My cars been off the road for 7 months for a complete suspension rebuild and a few other bits and bobs. Just passed the MOT this morning and got it taxed at dinnertime! I was starting to sweat a bit 8O
Its great to have it back on the road, i forgot how much fun it is. Just gave the outside a quick clean although the inside smells like an old mans sock, ill maybe get a chance to give it a clean tomorrow morning.

something is shaking itself to pieces underneath judging on how quickly its come on. ive not looked but im guessing the m30 has got the better of one of the bushes.

im quite pee'd off i missed the meet but i wasnt keen on risking the 335i and im not insured on my new e30 purchase yet.

next time :D

Sorry to hear about the touring, Mike.
