What - no pictures of Larry polishing it yet ?
It looks great - you must be very happy to finally have it finished (?) & back home.

Any chance we might get to see it at the curry night?
Dont think I could stand the temptation of not taking it for a spin, how long does it take to get it registered?

says on the forms to allow a month (4-5 weeks)
hopefully it will be quicker than that .
might see if i can borrowsome trade plates off someone. it needs running in. the trip up for a curry would be great for it.
