        More worried about people on mobile networks that have limited data.

              Indeed - about to get a 10 gigabit connection at work! Have to make do with 100 megabits at home ;) Would be relevant for people tethering to mobile phones I guess.

              Very cool link - looking at the e21 front suspension diagram makes me shudder thinking back. The use of the swayer to locate the bottom of the front strut was a bad idea. Keeping suspension "shimmy" at bay was a painful!

                      I thought this was a super thread resurrection.


                      I'm happier that it isn't.

                            I run it.

                            Its a hobby; my way of giving back to the community.

                            I don't make money from it other than some advertisements to pay for server costs.
