    I'd rather pull my eyes out with long nose pliers than have a ££££let, so 2 Tivo boxes would be no good to me. Plus I've got Sky, not Virgin.

    Nice but that car can not be in comparison with your car mate in performance stacks .and I bet that m5 won't last as long as your 850r will .

    As he knows you'll bite Frankie! I like your white bits though, they look different I think.
    Well done Neal, really look forward to that 15th gear but would be bit wary of tiff needel driving it, every time I've seen him at oulton park he's crashed. The 855 may be too much for him. Lol
