Just got back from Boston.

Fed up of crap TV (Dog the bounty hunter making an ass of himself on national TV laugh and bad news on Aqua Dots toys!), too much Steak dinners and sitting around airport departure lounges!

What I missed?

Jeff, ended up going to Boston with work, actually a small town outside of Boston called Nashua where one of our label printing plants is at.

Really pretty part of New England complete will fall colours on the trees - didn't see any witches though......only bloody big chicken burgers, you'd have loved it!!! lick

Got a gun pulled on me in the hotel car park as well - which was nice. The guy must have realised I was Welsh and was about to throw him in the stingies and turned around and ed off. Welcome to America bejusus!.

Wyn, try spraying a little silicone type lubricant spary on the front ARB bushes. The 350i used to squeak when going on undulating roads when these got dry (until I changed them for Poly ones). The squeak got louder when it was dry, really annoying.

Just a thought.

Now, gotta go about selling the Grief... ;-)

It needs a few quid spending now, & to get a curvier model, in the same condition, with more go, would cost double what I'd realistically get for it.
Plus it's signed by Mr Lilley + I love the way that engine hurls me down the road...blah blah + seeing the advert live on PH made me want to buy it hehe

Next time you go, try the Union Oyster Bar in Boston, and sit at the semi-circular bar facing the front.

Also the Lowell brewery is worth a visit - I used to stay in Lowell so's I could go there for my evening meal & drink beer on expenses!
