Looks really clean and tidy mate. Andy said it is proper quick. Run her in and up the timing and she'll really fly.

[J5KE F 0]

Yeah, its all about running her in for now.

miles and miles and miles and miles and i may get a tow bar fitted and use the trailor for a few weeks, wont take long that way either that or i'm never gonna get a chance to drive it and it'll sit in the garage from one week to the next

Any way, Lookin forwards to meetin up with you saturday fella,

Just a bit fella! its kinda real lively under foot but feels so smooth, i reakon roads should be made just that bit longer and we'll be fine!

Got some cheeky Jake touches to do once back home.. But the nos setup for one wont be required for now

[Eat this 2]
