Cheers Guys,

Never despondent because there's nothing that can't be made perfect…..more the eager anticipation of having the finishing line in sight!….I'm GAGGING to drive this car! :bounce:

A fantastic day and the start up was very straightforward in the end…..first ever time seeing the engine run. :)

Nick was pleased with how things went and said the engine sounds spot on…..all being well I might have an MOT by the end of the week! :cheers:

Exciting times!

That's great news, but the video clip won't run on my ipad. I will have to turn the PC on.

Kind regards.

Sorry chaps, the ipad doesn't support various formats to save battery life - I'll see if there's a work around. :?

Now that, as they say......is an understatement - enthusiastic, truly gifted, as fair as they come and wonderful to deal with. :)

A few things still to sort but it's looking likely.....even if I am on my own! :wink:

Thanks for all the comments, really are appreciated.
