There are a lot of things in this world that use the letter M to mark them as special.

There's MI6 for a start. That's the outfit which James Bond works for.

The M is a letter with history.

Some have made mention that with my British accent and love of classy cars, I would be the perfect candidate for them. Hey, maybe I'm in their employ already, and this journalist gig is just a cover. I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you, wouldn't I?

Then we have those lovely little M & M candies, one of the greatest food substances known to man, and being a person with a sweet tooth, a personal favorite of mine! (It is a little known fact, that one can survive a nuclear holocaust simply on them and a few cans of A&W root beer!).

Naturally, I should also mention the M16 Rifle, to many camo clad-boys and girls, the ultimate weapon of choice. It's tough, durable in all kinds of operations, and potentially deadly in the right (or wrong) hands.

Which, of course, brings me to the subject of my story...the BMW M5!!!??
