sorry to hear you stuck in UK. I saw the news that they tested a little plane and it was OK so they may start to fly again.

Kieth our 3 bar is 1 of the best investment. Loving it alot
Some small plane still can be fly as they flying at much lower attitude, but not for the 747 long haul :thumbsdown:
Did you finally get the 3rd bar installed? How was it affecting the handling?? Would the car feels stiffer in normal driving?


Man, cant wait to be back!!

Thanks buddy!

Things are getting worst here, they think the ashes will still be around for the next couple of days or weeks at least!
Which means i will have to stay here endlessly and wait for the reopen.
Its such a waste of time and money as i've already spend 20K to make this trip work and turn up like this :thumbsdown:
I would spend that money on mods

Id rather buy an 06/07 M5 for $800,000 than a Panamera turbo for $1.8mil or whatever it costs...
I won't know anything about M5, but I would say it takes a fair bit of modding to make our e60 a match on handling when compared with a stock Panamera 4S, at least, that's what I get from that brief test drive I had... would you agree, kc?

I think there are two versions of M5, 2 doors or 4 doors, right? If that's the case, buy 2 doors, from my e93, I know the framework of the 2 doors are really much better than our 4 doors e60 with BMW, I mean, I (e60 530i) used to need to catch up with my wife (e93 323i) when we are on roads with lots of turns! This is when I learnt why convertibles are so much more expensive, we are not just paying for the look, we are also paying for the framework.

That's why, TMS drive is never about power... our inital D is a different story thou

You know what, while I am reading this forum I am also watching news... bad news mate, even the tickets of the train and the Ferry to Paris are pretty much sold out...
