The longhaul flight would be the best part IMHO.  I absolutely love flying, totally brilliant.  I would travel anywhere in the world if it meant flying..although not by BA as they not too good...

I shall take your word for that, not ever been in a position to own a £58k car.  I earned the money to once, but seeing as I worked in a haulage yard with animal offal all over the place and sulphuric acid everywhere, thought an old banger would be a safer bet than something nice, new and shiny.

Virgin Atlantic, Aurigny (got a good friend who maintains their aircraft), EasyJet, Britannia and Monarch.

One of my hobbies is aircrash investigation, BA have not got a good record sadly.  So I refuse to fly with them and have done since the 1970's.

I was 12 back in '69...sorry Mark that makes me the older git.

I have spend a joyous afternoon and the best part of the evening fitting the new Engine bay undertray and brake ducts to the M3. I had anticipated that by buying the full setup from BMW, as used on the Evo Sport, it would be a simple plug and play job.

I was wrong. I have had to relocate the horns which were very helpfully positioned right where the duct need to be. Also the fitting of the duct parts was a right PITA.

Oh yes I almost forgot about the sauna levels of humidity and then the thunderstorms which finally arrived.

Still all done now ready for the Nurburgring next week.

Sorry for the novel but you did ask
