ok, the next best thing to do is to try another SD, let's isolate the problem one by one.
Thanks anyway! I will have a word with my IT guy at the office.

OK! Fault found. I connected my Nuvi to a colleagues PC... it found the SD Card on Windows Explorer. It must be some settings on my PC. Anyway, I have a multi media reader to read/write the SD card... so no issues.

hit dtc off if u want to sprint off the lights. dun ever off ur dsc unless u r on the tracks. zag ur 530 is not light and u can very easily overcome ur rear grip shud u as much as turn in too tight n flooring too early. hit water or oil...n it can be nasty.
anyway i just had a little fun with a mark X.....fast car. but he was pretty much stock. lots of bouncing all the way to tuas from aye outside tang dynasty. just hung back a touch as he was in front all the while (n i have only 12 points left)....as he got faster i just kept following till we were >180kmh...then our friend decided to tap brakes...thats when i decided it was enough...the next time he tapped i shifted to 4th n past him on a bend....he tried for awhile....but gave up shortly.
looks like a neat package the mark X. will be fun to play with. i know u love these competition write up zag..

i did my bodykit at pml.. but i did mymirrors and boot panel outside at mike's. mike did a far better job than pml's bodyshop.
1) my spoiler is not properly fitted(stickon). when i press, it goes in, when i release it pops out.
2) color matching on the alpine white is not as good. if you look closely, the bodykit is slightly whiter than the body of the car. Mike did a much much better job of matching the mirrors and boot panel.
If i were to do bodykit again, i'd go to mike or yewlip even. PML is last on the list.

Hi Guys,
Sorry to interrupt, especially in the middle of the "Nuvi" celebration.
My ride kanna "injuries" in a freak accident this morning
. One joker drove his delivery truck into my E60 which was resting peacefully in my office car park lot. An eye witness said the driver was supposed to reverse his truck but dunno what happen, his truck moved forward instead. The sudden forward movement cause the truck to hit my left side before hitting a barrier in front. The driver was injured and have to be sent to the hospital by an ambulance.The left rear panel and door is now "disfigured" (as shown). Even my M wing mirror suffer scratches.
I have not much choice but to send my car to PML for assessment since I think the rear side fender and door should be changed instead of repair. Also, I bought my insurance thru PML (AXA) and thought it will be easier for them to help me make all the necessary claims.
Now that the quality of PML worksmanship has been raised, do you think I can request PML to let mike or yewlip to do the job instead?
