Hello all! I too believed IME to be "in my experience" rather than "in my estimation". I guess I have fixed my car several times based on someone elses "estimation" of what was wrong - yikes! In order to clarify things I suggest the following: IME - in my estimation IBME - its been my experience Regards, J. Lyons 84 CGT Turbo 86 4KCSQ 79 5KS
