Finally got a couple of videos up on to Facebook. Not sure how to publish them so hopefully this will work.

Some have had problems loading the videos so removed links from here

Thanks for the kind words Darren and love the pic of Neil.
I'll email it to him, he's great with engines but struggles with forums :roll:
cheers, Mike.

Mike I am so sorry that I didn't get to the event but it looks like you had a fantastic day out. I'm so please that I got a chance to see the car earlier in the project.

For those of us that didn't make the event perhaps you can explain this :shock:
Mike wrote:The third element is obviously you guy's my fellow DDK'ers. I can't think of a nicer bunch of people I would rather
be with, there is something about these cars that seems to bring out something in their owners, all I know is I'm lucky
to have had you all there on what obviously was a very special day for me, not only celebrating the finish of the build
with me but saying goodbye to it as well. Thank you all so much for coming.

I hope not to be car less for too long but in the meantime I'm carrying on watching and contributing to the forum if
you don't mind because you all are the nicest of people.

cheers, Mike

This is the best shot I've seen of the car but forgive my crop though, great work and well done.
