Hi guys. I'm just back too after a really sh!t couple of days. Absolutely knackered having got only 7 hours sleep in the last 55 but I've still got to stay up so I can sleep tonight. I do it for the glamour; if only there was some. Have a good rest of the day.

It's a rock 'n' roll life-style, Benny.

Thats the M3 back and in fighting fit form.....oh......and £1547 lighter. Been doing a lot of digging and it would seem that the head gasket going on an E46 M3 is common especially when the miles get high....80 to 100k seems to be the norm so mine at 109k seems about the right time :-( ................

Might as well drive the car and get some pleasure for the bill. Likely wouldn't see a penny more if put up for sale.

Where in Colchester is your course, Dem? I've got a conference call at the end of the afternoon otherwise I'd have bought you a glass of something refreshing, but let me know where you'll be and I'll get my thinking cap on.

Good news, Andy! Big lump of loot but you must be delighted to have the beastie back.

I'm just back from a cycle ride, first in [splutter, mumble] years. Only did about 11 miles but suspect that by morning I'll be walking like John Wayne.

In that case, next time, try using a saddle and not just the saddle post!

Lube? Obviously not a hard-core cylist. You'll just have to toughen up, lube is for girls!

Morning all. Busy day as we go towards project go live. Looking OKish for now though.

Have a good one, all.
