Thanks Steve!

Gees you make me laugh :)

How do you think I felt driving in the US - as far as I was concerned - it was all of you that were on the wrong side. And yes - the first time I tried to get into a car in the US I went to the driver's side, and I was meant to be a passenger...  d'oh!

This 540i has been chipped to 265kW - I don't know what that is in bhp, but it is terrific fun, and it gets some track work every now and then - when I feel like buying new tyres, voiding my insurance, and letting the inner hairy beast off the leash for a while.

I just did a deal in South Africa and I will have to go there soon. In SA they make those Superformance Shelby Daytona Cobra replicas with Roush 427 motors. But from what I see and read, the new Shelby GT500KR from the US might be a nice ride, too. I have always preferred V8s and the way they drive. How about you?

I should have been born in the US...

Have a good day!  IanM
