If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.

truth is i went out in Neil's supercharged beastie, and aside from shitting myself and being very very fast, it was essentially the same car as mine.

Not just possible, but in the case of the shocks, likely. A friend just had his replaced on his Z4C and one of the fronts had zero oil left, despite the leak being too small to be picked up during MOTs.road warrior wrote: ↑Thu Jan 24, 2019 1:52 pm

Nice work. Do you do normal driving too or is it mainly just speed bumps?
