Don't feel bad, no one else does either.
My lovely new screens arrived. Now to work on the rats nest under my desk.
I finished college, university, had many jobs, settled down into a career, still refuse to accept I am an adult.
To be a bit anal about it.

Heh, the RV for last nights callout.

You will need to research how LPG conversions react with the engine you're going with. I know a lot of modern engines have valve issues as the metals aren't hard enough to handle the extra heat you get when running LPG. If the BMW 6cyl is one of the engines (and there are a lot out there) that require extensive headwork to cope with LPG, it might be worth looking else where. Bear in mind no warranties will cover engine issues if it is an LPG conversion, regardless of the fact they will happily sell you one.
Given the way LPG prices have spiked recently (more so than petrol and derv), they are fast becoming unaffordable when compared to petrol or diesel. They are also enjoying a reduced duty, that won't be around forever, so keep that in mind and watch the budgets like a hawk. The second the gov't announce LPG will be charged at the same duty as other fuels it will cost about 25-30p/l less than petrol.
In theory LPG should cost the same per mile as an equivalent diesel car. But I am yet to see anyone who can back up those claims. That said for now it is probably half way between petrol and derv.
LPG won't handle being driven hard, you'll piss through gas at an alarming rate. Either drive like you have you balls under the throttle or swallow the increased fuel bills from running a big engined vehicle.
Oh yes, if you do go LPG, prepare for a long time standing around waiting for it to fill up. They taken an absolute life time to fill from empty and then spend the rest of your time trying to find somewhere that sells LPG. A bit crude, but I can find one garage that sells LPG in a 20 miles radius of the address used to register your website... hopefully it is on your way to work.
That said I know a lot of Landy owners who rock V8s on LPG and they all sing about how great it is they can run a V8 for roughly the same costs as a derv. A rough understanding of man maths is required as true maths tells you that they are talking bullshit. ;D

I understand the high miles, when I was going to and from work in my RR it was costing about £90 a week in fuel. After getting a company van I now pay that a month.
But I've seen too many people suffer issues with LPG when fitted to modern cars. Couple in the increased costs of LPG, the costs of a kit*, the servicing costs, the kit on a mates 4.4 V8 costs him £120 a year to service. You're not really saving money.
You'll get some people saying "what about the fire risks"... you're driving a car driven by volatile chemicals, doesn't matter what fuels it, there is always a fire risk. Otherwise it wouldn't move.
Maybe time to learn how to use a lighter right foot? The 2.5 should get ~40MPG anyway. That is loads. ;D
* (make sure it is declared to DVLA, you will save around £50 on VED plus insurance will cover it, otherwise your policy is invalid in the event of a crash)

Don't get LPG. It causes big problems with new engines (mostly valve seats wearing badly). Couple that with the increase in the costs of gas make the "savings" marginal at best. The annual LPG service will wipe out any savings you make by running gas. Plus plus plus, you will wipe out what little boot space 3 series have in the first place.
Stick to straight petrol or get a derv. If all you want is the sound, get the ECU remapped for fuel efficiency. It'll sound the same but be much more frugal, obviously at the cost of all out POWA... you know, that or get a job that pays well enough that fuel costs don't concern you.
With my Range Rover being a dick I am looking at finally getting rid of her. Probably well timed as the winter is due soon, so could sell for a premium.
Got my eyes on a 2004 BMW 525 Touring. Although the frugal in me keeps looking at 530D. Sort of want to leave the derv camp, but 50MPG? That is double what I get now.

That can't be a drive way. Where are the oil stains?
I love how the bonnet is this massive extension from the bulk head. It is a FWD car with a transverse engine. The rest is just empty space. Honda, you're drunk. Go home.
A saloon Fiesta? You Americans are a bloody weird bunch.
Not my car, but I thought the photo still looked cool.
One of our team members rocked up late and parked where the pilot wanted to land the bird. As it was the only suitable landing place he did anyway.

Passed, with advisory for weak hand brake, slight play in prop shaft, emissions and you can guess the last item, given it is from the Land Rover stable.
Had to shave off my beard for army. It makes me look so god damn creepy.
(me on left)
Had my hair shaved off since then and I look less creepy now. But still, I miss my beard.

Aren't they reversed on the left side?
Why not put a RB motor in your BMW? It'll be totes amazeballs.

Are all M5s that fast or has his been breathed on? Because if they are, I know what I'm replacing my current car with.
Which is what I do on the roads. Save racing for the track. If you **** up on a track you're in a sterile place, more often than not all you're going to do is bump across gravel and hit some tyres (some exceptions). Driving like a cock on the roads will get you or someone else killed.

You win teh prize.
You win teh prize too, I think you're right on the Firefly not showing the logo. In some of the extras on Serenity DVD they mentioned that they better tech when they made Serenity meant they could make a much more detailed model.
I'll need to rewatch series now, just to keep an eye out for the logo.
I've been using this for a while. Anyone who can guess where it is from gets a cookie.
Not true sir, a lot of imaging software allows for hardware merging. Just as you get with "normal" backup software. So if you change hardware you can merge the backed up system state with the actual hardware on the device and crack on as you were.
It was something Backup Exec was brilliant for and now everyone and their dog is doing it. Saves a lot of ballache as before you had to restore to identical hardware. IIRC, Norton Ghost has good merging features.
But if it only takes you 12 minutes to flatten the machine, probably no point.

True enough, for you weirdos with your backwards cars, imperial is handy. For those of us who use Roman Catholic, metric all the way.
