    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    No worries; it's all over the BMW and PH forums, not something I really worry about TBH

    Just fitted the new M Sport door trims today too; the ones on it were a bit faded from the heat in Japan, so a few more £££ dropped into it via BMW Germany




    I really like the wheels too; did have a rare set of Style 37s from an E38 7 series that had been professionally bored to fit the larger hub of the E39; they're more sought after as they're a wider version with more aggressive offsets, but everyone has them, they're the 'purists' alloy wheel of choice (ie. they're all sheep) So decided to buck the trend and go with the LMs instead Decent reps of course, I am not paying c£4k for alloy wheels!



    They got sold for silly £££ because there's so few sets of them readily available and made to fit the E39

    Nowt wrong as long as the message makes sense - which it always does

    When I was younger and worked at a printers, my spelling was spot-on, and my supervisor referred to me as 'The Lexicon', whatever that meant These days I can't spell for toffee - at first I thought it was old age creeping up, but I've lately come to the conclusion that I just don't care
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Of course, daftee! The point I was making what that Dan's car must've been *really proper*, as you'd afforded 'proper' two ps, to fully stress its properness...

    In fact, I'd go as far to say that it's 'WELL PROPA', perhaps even 'SICK'!

    Nice rims Dan, they suit the car.
    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
