Yes, while I was waiting for the power to come back, I went looking for this paper.

Interesting article, but as you said earlier, quite a few glaring wives tales and infactualities in it. Brake and ABS problems caused by overfilling the LHM reservoir? Dirty LHM indicating the 'spheres are shot'?? :lol:

Still, overall it wasn't a bad writeup, and does praise the car quite well.....

Cheers for scanning it :)

I'll have to find the one I did of the magazine one Peter was quoted in.

Well it did download from Fileden and open in Acrobat for me AFTER I'd uploaded it Dean!
It's a chunky 29meg and in fact could've been twice this size!! In the meantime, I'll pop the
scans as jpegs as big as I can get them online here!

Apologies for their being random sizes and piecemeal - think that's Photobucket.
Turns out almost actual size on my screen though!

Thanks for that Andrew seems like a good positive writeup if not a little misguided in places.

Yes, thanks for that Andrew, I don't think that even with the inacuracies it will harm the XMs reputation, its nice to see that normal people like them as well. :D

Goddammit, that's three times I've downloaded it myself and it's been fine every time.
Must be a Mac thing syncing with Fileden. The original file on the Fileden resource must
be working OK though so likely some corruption on the link I posted earlier.

Are any of these any use then?
