I have followed your M3W story Q8 and respect you for showing the world the necessary and preventative work that you have had carried out on your car. The company and others have been more than happy to keep everyone in beer goggles lets face it..
The fact that the bill was a little higher than you expected does not surprise me as when working overseas (as I have) you lose sight of UK labour costs very quickly.
Although you stated this I didn't think you seemed unhappy with the status quo, so I am a little puzzled about all the foregoing unpleasant rhetoric it has generated from others.
Enjoy many more miles in your Blue flying machine
