I thought the black was the best colour.. If that's not true than i've been lied to.

Got it in one, you have been. I feel for you, move over from the dark side, buddy.....

Think you'll find you are on the wrong side. Le Mans is by far the only proper colour. All the others are just common across the ranges and even makes. I mean, Grey....come on paaji that's just so dull.... >:D

Ok fellas, now that we've established that the Blue, ahem.... LeMans Blue is best :) Do any of you know a top techy for servicing. It was suggested to me that the 3.0D lump I have may not be running as efficiently as could be. Prevention better than cure, wouldn't mind the X being checked over by someone professional. NOt sure about chipping at this time. Thanks.

Where abouts are you?

If southern based then try Jason @ BW Chiptune. He's in Hayes and is on this forum.
