Who gives a rat's a.s what the hell you were looking for?  Did you
really expect someone wouldn't search on that?

Besides you missed the whole throatwarbler joke, asshat. And it was a
good.  But forget it...

Between you and the Peter Turtill putz... and all this MI5 smegma being
broadcast.  This really is the last straw.

I'm not going to even bother kill-filing you.  There hasn't been a
decent thing discussed on this newsgroup in over 6 months.  I'll just be
unsubscribing so you and your betheren can discuss whatever gets your
panties wet.

After over 4 years of reading and contribution, this newsgroup has
become useless.  Inept.  Retarded.  Inane.

Buh Bye.

Any silly twit can do *that*.  I wasn't looking for someone to crank
up a search engine, and then post a link.  It was more to ask people
who didn't know to do what you did, and maybe find out something new
and interesting in the process.

There's no way that anyone could credibly claim here now that they
knew that before they looked it up.  It's not another dick-size war.

It is pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove".

Can there be any such thing as trivia in this day and age of Internet
search engines?

The e39 handbrake is not the best one in the world.  You can lock up
the rear wheels at speed with many handbrakes, but don't expect to do
*anything* like that on the e39.  Even when it's brand new and fully
fettled.  It sucks, as they say on the leeward side of the pond.

Why?  As my dearly departed mother used to say, "Because that's the
way it is."

Trivia:  The "correct" way to pronounce 'leeward.'

Have any E39's got good h/brakes?

Had new rear discs, pads, and shoes fitted today. Handbrake is still very
poor.
I'm nor exactly a weakling, but without using the footbrake I can't pull it
on hard enough to stop the car creeping on tickover, which is only about 750
rpm.
It did pass the MOT though, which was my main concern.
