michael,

even though i rate mana along with bmw's as perhaps the most overrated thing on the planet (i just had to with both you and bub in the picture  ). Yes bub i have heard it in a decent system albeit not mine.

i'm sure that as you are back and forth so much between the uk and portugal, something could be worked out with jw on a trial basis - he does seem to be a quite reasonable bloke as i'm sure bub will testify. just watch the leather in your bimmer those spikes are murder.

just a thought.

cheers

julian
