Keith welcome back - get yourself along to Arbroath on Saturday if you can , check out the meets section for details on pick ups for Aberdeen, should be a good day and fine chance for you to catch up with people you know and meet some you dont (the police escort through Arbroath is always good too , Ive only ever been escorted out of places before ;) ).

Cheers Smitty, not that much of a fan of the 997, of course I would love a GT3 though.

Awwww you poor we lamb. You're such a brave lil soldier being able to cope. :question::question::question::question: :blackeye::eek:;)

[Keith]

It will be either rear coil springs or the RTAB (rear trailing arm bushes), the CSL has an appetite for those. The rear springs on all E46 are known for cracking and it does affect the handling of the car.
Sounds a lovely spec, I had one before the CSL with the same spec but Carbon Black. Is it manual or SMG?
Will have to meet up sometime, give you a shot of the CSL.

[Keith]

The SMG in the CSL is very different, will have to meet up for a M3 geek out.
Hope it all goes well today.

Hope it all goes well todayWell, kinda scared the tech guy whilst showing him the wee swerving problem :I also, a rather loud cracking noise from the rear drivers side when turning sharply left.
I reckon it's a broken spring at least and possibly the bushes too :)

[Adam MCS]

CSL! Awesome, 1 week today I'll get my hands on my dad's (we're going to be sharing a cooper s and the CSL) so I think some double CSL banter will be in order...

[sleepyrascal]

[Keith]

It is a small world. I hear your name pop up now and again.

I'd like to give you an invite to his stag party. Hes offshore so I'm trying to get stuff sorted while he isn't here. I don't really know any of his friends so it's been difficult.

Its the 8th and 9th of September. If your free, it would be great to have you along. Were going to Perthshire for some clay shooting and a high ropes course. I'm keeping th numbers low ish. It's easier to organise that way.

Let me know. :cool:

[Keith]

Sleepy, thanks so much for the invite, I have a wedding that weekend and won't make it. Would have been great fun with you guys. Hope it all goes well, I don't envy you organising a stag doo!!

Ah ok no worries.

The organising part is a nightmare but i'm sure it will be worth it!
