Another one of the absolutely brilliant Scoopz posts.
It is a joy to read you posts buddy!
You should take up on writing a novel.
I think it is a talent not exploited to it's full potential.
Loved it!

Great thread, I used to love these kinds of threads when I was waiting for my car...


Must say, the best time to do a launch is when you get an M5 loaner...
