Actually, I don't care about the exterior of my M8 as long as the  
innards continue to function and provide with the images I crave. I  
can do without the knee replacements; I did have knee surgery in 2002  
in Switzerland, after following my wife's nagging and joing a fitness  
center for a year...my reward was a luxurious hospital stay after 10  
months. The cycling I do not is much better.

Cheers,
Nathan
