Unfortunately, though I hoped it would, the modding bug has not left me.

The 330ci is getting some ACS goodies bolted on tomorrow. After less than 2 months of ownership all my sensible plans have gone out the window. Although, I have noticed its a tad more expensive this time round.

Better not mention the GruppeM Ram Filter, ACS Springs and 19" ACS Type III about to get ordered. Also been speaking to a nice chap who has an ASA Supercharger bolted onto his 300. Anyone got any experience of the kit?

Bugger....he he he.

Fella - for the outlay and unavoidable effect on insurance - why not get an M3..?

On the M3 thing, yeah, makes sense. But for me, I prefer to do it differently.

I kinda like the "wolf in sheeps clothing" element to it, so when some knob in a suprisingly quick Vectra thinks he's noising up a de-badged 320Ci he gets a bit of a surprise.

Anyhoo, think the engine plans will be put on the back burner given that as of this morning I have found out that I will soon be the proud owner of 9 points. Just to moan a bit, last 3 were for 79 mph on the motorway (how 'effin tight is that) and this latest is for 59mph in a 50mph on the Edinburgh Bypass, both mobile units.

Silly bugger.

Ooooof, I was along the bypass yesterday aswell. Never seen any mobile unit and hope there weren't any as I was having a wee flutter with a 4Motion Golf! Sure y'all know what that means...

Well, I, my passengers, and Tiff Nedell (New Road angel) never seen any anyway!

Wops! Aye, I got mine from Halfords for 360 and they normally go for 400! In this months Fast Car, there is a voucher that gives you 40 quid off if you spend over 200 quid. Better than heehaw! Includes 6 months subscription aswell!

Going through Edi yesterday afternoon, after the bypass it didnae half help me out a few times with some of the cameras that are 'convientely' placed!  The wee thing would go mental, flashing and making all sorts of noises well before the camera, and then on passing it you'd be like "Aye, you're no getting me pal!" Famous last words eh?

The only thing is, getting in and out of the car when in the town or anywhere away from the house means I am going to have to start taking a handbag with me, Road Angel, Stereo Front, Mobile, Wallet, Keys and anything else I am carrying! Getting a bit much. LOL @ the Handbag!!!

Next you'll be calling me Wendy, no hang on, thats Morgan!!! Heehee!
