So JasH, I thought your car was nearing the end of its lease, or am I confusing you with another limey, er I meant to say esteemed citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Damn, that's a long name for a country. We're thinking of changing ours to "The States of America that are sometimes United but usually not". And once the country's name change takes effect, our Idiot in Chief (IIC) plans to build a wall around both our eastern and western flanks to keep foreign, non-American football (aka soccer) hooligans out. Canada is excluded for the time being, until such time as we impose tariffs against the import of Canadian whiskey and Celine Dion. And get this, IIC wants the wall to be built by the same people that built the Maginot Line along the eastern border of France prior to WWII because we all know how well that worked
Are you sure you can't make it to Munich in July? Just think how much fun you, me and Clarkson could have together once we've had a few beers |

LOL
Nope, I've never leased any car in my life. I am likely to hang on to the i8 for a while yet - at least until I find a superior replacement. I don't know about Munich yet. When it comes up for applications, I will apply if I am still able to. So, we will see what happens. People are starting to receive PI cancellations now though, after the 3 years. |

BTW, I also learned from the PI event team in Barcelona that there will be another Leipzig event in September this year. I was going to combine a Leipzig factory tour as part of my trip to Munich in July, but they advised that the PI factory tour will be so much better, so I'm now planning to wait until September for that. Man, retirement is great (provided one has enough Krugerrands to make it interesting) |

I applied for Munich yesterday Last year it wasn't a lottery though. It was first come first served.
They typically do 3 Leipzig events each year, so you will definitely get on that. Both are worth doing, and completely different. You can't compare these two events. |

my experience with cf bits is that over longer period of time, they become a source of squeaks and other bothersome noises...
