[quote=""shadowman""]Ageing is bugger, i was convinced i was registed originally as shadowman now i'm reminded i was sapphireblack the first time around :oops: Oh well my posts score has gone anyway.

I recall well a shift in the type of people and the nature of the posts made, one reason i faded away along with some others it seems, which is/was a pity.

Ah ha - so I was right on both counts

for my third freaky comment - are those pics taken in the Warren in Crowborough?

Spooky yes, the pictures were taken on part of The Warren, thankfully though i don't live there?

Admin have offered to re-instate my original name so it could get even more confusing, more so perhaps for me ;)

I'm glad i was of past use to anyone and flattered as a result.

The Snooper is still tucked away in it's cubby hole, for when needed, though nav maps with fixed cameras plotted are nearly as good now and come without the extra clutter of the Snooper.

Hopefully i'll be able to make some contributions but i suspect i'm well out of touch now?

Is the very useful and friendly BMW techie still around? i forget his name, hell, i couldn't even remeber my own!
