Bingo, tinkering with old cars is much more fun for me and you don't need a laptop to do it

I won't be modding a newish car again, too much money and its never as good as factory, every mod has a negative impact too, especially on a family car, and the constant trips to Darren Wood etc soon mount up.

Something old and fun is a different matter though, do the work yourself with no pressure to get it running for work on monday mornings.

Since I sold the 335i my bank balance has become very healthy indeed.

If I take the depreciation and mod costs into account, then the contract hire E63 AMG i'm waiting for will cost just over a third of what the 335i cost me per month overall... as long I can resist the 680bhp/1000nm remap that DMS have released for the E63.... doh
