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'??
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.

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?
