Well, after a long drive south, i picked up an awesome second hand 5 year old X5 with just 11k miles on her. Fantastic bit of kit, impressed with the heads up display, works brilliantly with sat nav! cream leather interior, totally unmarked (lets hope it stays that way!). For such a heavy 4X4 she drives really well, 60 comes in 7.6sec, torque is immense! Very pleased with our new truck Anyone else had one of these?

Some say it's more important than the RWC........ Who is the 2015 WSCC Speed Series Champion??? Plus well done to the Novice Champion and all the class winners.

Someone get the popcorn out. I've got some beers it's another 99octane super plus fuel thread lol If it was a noticeable difference and given the lack of relevant sensors to adjust the ecu I would hazard a guess your car was tuned on 98/99 octane rather than 95 in the past. Interestingly I have found my z4 runs much smoother on tesco99 Ron monentum but I was getting 5mpg lower than shell 98 optimax. Normal 95 Ron shell was about the same as the momentum but with much more pinking. Sainsburys high octane stuff was low on consumption and ram like a bag of spanners. Nothing scientific on the test I just ran the car in the same journeys for 2 months on each fuel using about a tank a week. Currently run high octane stuff from Costco Cos it's only 108.9

Take cans if you can transport them easily, you'll save a significant amount of cash doing it that way.

Finally got the garage upgrade I've always wanted, 30sq m with electric doors AND with a commitment from the other half that its entirely my space and not to be filled with her "stuff"... Once the house is unpacked, plan to get the flooring down, board the roof space for additional storage and put up so many lights that its like an operating theatre... Really please the westie has a decent new home!

I only managed one clear lap and it turned out to be about 1:17 from the video - last time I was there in a Mk1 race car on much grippier tyres (NS2Rs as opposed to NS20s) we just snuck into the high 1:16s - similar to Cadwell then, result!

I do Russ, but I don't really want to put another 20-25k miles on it next year. Besides,I have a V8 itch that needs scratching

Don't worry about the wet. Is good fun esp if you have r1rs Get yourself a cheap motorcycle suit if you don't have one. Best upgrade I've bought
