Thanks Gents
Yep massive fixed grin all yesterday evening...
It’s the county show today and the roads are ‘choca’ but once I got a few miles under my belt I’ll post some driving impression...
However things feel bloody good from the first few drives...

All the best

Hi Keith
Sadly not this year, I’m going to stay off motorways until she’s run in, maybe next year! Image

Hi Guys
Thanks for all your kind comments
Next weekend I’ll try and put pen to paper with a few driving impressions...
But for now here’s a bit of ‘arty’ Car Noir! Image

Bit of a drizzly day so time to get wet and refit my cleaned up engine grills.
Shinny new ‘stainless’ fasteners replacing rusty old bolts.
