Why not boycott Marks and Spencers because their food is a bit more expensive than Sainsburys, or British Airways because their flights are more expensive than Ryanair. The companies are not responsible for the tax which the Government (who are the one group of people who a boycott can affect at the next election) imposes, and as was recently shown with the contaminated fuel which was supplied by some of the supermarket chains the little bit extra you pay to the majors which goes to pay for the infrastructure and quality control of their fuel distribution is worth it in the long run. And you always have a choice to not use them so not pandering to their inflated costs. Oh yeah and if BP and ESSO have become one company where is my redundancy money and shiny new coveralls.

I had a test drive in a GS450h the other week with one of the guys who is doing the IS-F testing in Seville (he used to drive BTTC), and they have done some comparisons with the M3 and RS4 and he says that certainly from their track days the IS-F outperforms both he really did rate it. I just hope she who must be obeyed can get in it without getting car sick (which is why I had to get rid of my IS200 Sport).

Go for it you won't regret it, had mine for 18 months and still get a big smile on my face everytime I get in it.

HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true? A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... Don't waste them on exercise .. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up . Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you ? A: You're not listening.... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable. It's the best feel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! ! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diet . And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride ,

I had a Calibra in a very similar colour, I think they called it midnight blue.

Nice one M8 all the best in your new home. John

Done.

Thanks for taking pity on us, the SC is that good that we don't need to post all the time although from the geometry results before Dr.WIM had a look at mine (thanks Tony), I think they may all need a bit of work on the undercarriage. (As it were). John

Lovely looking motor. Hope it's a good 'un. John

Alright mate welcome to the club. Where you working? I'm on Schiehallion.
