blackmagic 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Would it not be easier for us to just talk about this seeing as we are in the same van today M8 instead of using this tread when we are not driving. But hey it would not exactly be a hardship. People will be thinking that all we do each day is drive around and surf the web.......Not far from the truth for some off us a Jake After all, the sooner the mileage is on the sooner you can start to open the engine up and enjoy the car even more!!!!!
