Now it's your turn to chill out! Firstly, AFAIK, you can't close a thread. Once you start it, it takes on a life of it's own, so if you don't like whats happening, all you can do is quit posting and come back some other day. Secondly, it pays to read your responses. Heres the answer to your question:
We better start wearing our tinfoil hats pretty quick! between this and the "may 21 2011" bullshit, the sky is gonna be falling real quick. Don't want anyone picking up our waves................
Hey, no kidding..! If I stop posting in a couple of days, you'll know that I've gone to Heaven and that you didn't make the cut. I've had "Stairway to heaven" on repeat play for weeks now and I just cant wait for the festivities to begin! Heavenly chariots and me riding one on sunbeams straight to my just reward! A brand new /2 whenever I want one, free gas and slingers that never need cleaning. Forever! Never a flat tire, roads that go on forever and the Babes...! All the chicks, errr, make that Angels, are wearing these slinky, white, semi transparent robe things, while they dance on solid gold poles and they're all smiling at me!! Never figured out who does the cooking though... Oh well! Who cares? Yep! 6:00 PM on the 21st and I'm outa here! I'll miss you guys but not that much!
Six Pee M?? Crap! I was hoping for it to be a bit earlier. I'll be soaring, and I counting on some spiritual thermals! Wait.... What time zone is that 6 PM supposed to happen in?
That's the first I've heard about may 21st being doomsday, I had to look it up, Must be an American thing along the lines of certain doom if you don't have a circlip in your output shaft. There's been nothing in our newspapers, on the radio or tv. You guys sure you haven't muddled the dates?
This ain't Doomsday, it's the Rapture!! AFAIK, Europeans and Brits haven't been invited to this particular party but if you've repented for your sins and changed your oil and the filter lately, I guess you can tag along. I'll put in a good word for you at the gate but after that, you owe me big time. Got it? Thats big as in extra large! May 21st, 2011, 6:00 PM at my place. Be there or be square! Don't bother packing any clothing or deodorant but some Single Malt Whiskey or a few hits of Owsley Stanley's best, might be nice. Just remember... Going to heaven is going to be a Hell of a lot better than the alternative, the chicks are better looking and you'll be able to forget about that burning lake! Check it out. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/us/20rapture.html?hp
Thanks Chris, Just recieved this from Sylvia: Hello This cam is the BMW cam. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Silvia Israel Israel GmbH Hauptstrasse 54 D- 56335 Neuhäusel Guess now I'd like to know if they're the Chinese mfgr'd pieces?
...'zactly, doesn't mean BMW didn't farm them out, doG nose they've had enough 'bad batches' of parts on so many models. ...so those 'angels', are the bad models too...
Soooo.... in answer to: Hello Sylvia, Thanks for your reply. I bought this cam from Moto Israel believing it was of different manufacture than the BMW 336 cam. As you may know, BMW has sourced manufacture of their 336 cam to China which has resulted in serious quality problems. Please confirm place of manufacture of this cam before completing my order. best regards, I recieved this reply: Hello I have no idea where they come from but we have no problems here in Germany. Please confirm or cancel your order. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Silvia Israel Israel GmbH Hauptstrasse 54 D- 56335 Neuhäusel So, I'm really no further ahead. Does anyone know more than Sylvia about where she sources her cams? ie: I bet you a doughnut they're Chinese.
My email: Hello Sylvia, Is your camshaft from BMW or your own? Thanks, Chris Here reply: Hello BMW and I do not know if it comes from China! Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards, Silvia Israel
