Mark,

Looking good, I can’t wait until I am that far on.

Will you be at Stoneleigh with the car?

Cheers Ginge

Looking really good Mark, silencer doesn't look out of proportion too - looks just right.

Bet you've been out for a sneaky drive around the estate, if not then bet you can't wait to. I did tried it at your stage and came across a cop car passing at the end of the street, soon got back into the garage. You can get it booked into a local friendly garage for a pre-mot check which you're allowed to drive it to. As long as you don't book it into an actual mot you can get away with it..
