Hi Derek
Thanks again for your kind words.
Have been out on the road a few times and some people have just stood and gawped as the car has rumbled by which is such a good feeling but am having the usual teething problems with an almost weekly failure of new parts which is really peeing me off big time but i will get these problems all sorted out.
The car does feel very fast of the line even though I have yet to hoof it in anger.
It is also really quiet and is only pulling 2000rpm at 60 mph so that is going to help with the mpg on my trips away.
Work has been intense this year but we have caught up now so I am going to try and get the splitter painted and final fixed this coming week.
I will post up some pics when it is all fitted.
Cheers
P

Hi Mate
I do plan to be at the Retro show with my little wagon (as long as nothing else packs up) along with some of my mates from the Manta V8 Register.
I hope that we can meet up then.
I won't be running down the strip although I am sure the calling will be great and my resolve will be tested

Will catch up with you soon.
Cheers
Paul
