You don't have to tell me that. Have a look at my running costs in my profile !
Must try harder John... 36.4p per mile.Mine was getting close at 29.7p per mile.
The M5 is currently at 48.6p per mile, which I have a feeling is about to get worse again.
I still need to talk to you about where you got steering wheel etc. re-trimmed as I'd like to do the same to the M5.

Next major bout of expenditure coming up with a set of Bilsteins I reckon.
You still not done it yet? Amateur. I'm starting to think about replacing my Sachs/Boges fitted all of 2-3k ago for Bilsteins as they are a bit soft. Still trying to figure out if soft is a good thing or not!
It's a tricky one. I've had properly stiff cars before and it makes them a bit snappier when they let go and more difficult on bumpy roads. They feel better 99% of the time though!
Although it's soft, it holds on well and the damping prevents it from becoming unsettled over bumps. As you're local a good example is over the Cumberland Basin, it just soaks up the bumps without any drama. There's nothing wrong with overall grip levels, I just think that harder feels better but am worried that OEM might be best overall.
Although I'm unsure about my shocks, I'm a big fan of the eibach springs and anti roll bars.
