Here you go Mike. She runs!210bhp wrote:Nice moment Paul. Were you there to hear the first start up?
Let's hear her when you get a chance to record.
We have discovered a faulty cold start mechanism so that needs to be sorted but aside from that the engine sounds great.

My thanks to a tip-off from Ryan for this (http://blog.eurocarrera.com/). Cheers Ryan.
Here's your chance to own a lime green Carrera. But only if you act by 5th June, 2014.
GT Spirit make a wonderful 1/18th scale model of the 2.7 Carrera coupe but it's only been available in a gold colour (with Carrera graphics & a flat rear lid) or in a pretty copper metallic (without side decals).
However - on offer this month only - is a unique, 1 off, exclusive lime green version.
Answer the questions, give them your email address and you're in with a chance.
I'm so taken with the prospect of owning the prize that I've asked Nick to re-paint my Fuchs wheels to match.....

You need a lot of glue (one pot wasn't sufficient).
