Very nice indeed. I've yet to colour sand, mop & polish mine but if it looks even half as good as yours i'll be pleased.

Did you book a space for Holland then?
Get cracking with it so you'll have time for a shakedown run or two. Nothing more tiresome than breaking down on an International!!!

Exactly what went through my mind! It's CDO if you don't mind Darren - needs to be in the correct order! ;-)

The 914 should be with me a week a on Friday ! Am just getting the final orders in ready. Gone for a Scart sport silencer to go with the stainless steel heat exchangers. The gearbox is going to be treated to Swepco 201 oil.
