Markos,
Most of us who own and love older bimmers are not pricks.
I don't know what brought on that nasty comment. But I'd take a guess that it's part of being young, successful, mechanically inept . . . and Scottish. Or, it might have something to do with the blitz...
In the interests of full disclosure, most of the Jag guys I hang out with are Scots. At our Christmas parties the men are showing more skin than the ladies (legs that is). And there's always a bottle of fine Scotch whiskey in someone's trunk when we get together. And, I happen to be applying to become an honorary Scot so I can legitimately wear a skirt at the Xmas party, but I'm old, not very successful, and mechanically not bad for a shade-tree kind of guy.
