Just thought I'd let you guys know I got some new wheels. Some may already know the car, it's H8OAG's. It's a very very nice 111s, only had it 24h but I love it already. Can't stop the stupid grin on my face
Thanks to the NE SE'ers for a great run yesterday.

How do you fancy the first Honda Conversion with driveshafts that align with the rear hubs (No Angle) with an ECU that uses RPM/TPS rather than manifold pressure. Me and Mike were talking about it on the run yesterday.
LOL at Tut and Mike

Alan, how about you and Mike doing me a charge cooler upgrade for a final fling?
Reckon 370hp now that I am used to 300 would be just tickety boo.

Thought so, chatting away instead of watching the road, and then got lost.
I passed Gav and Cheez at the BB garage at Huntly just before I turned off left. How far were you in front? That was after I screwed up and we went via Keith and Huntly rather than Turriff. Eyes at night ain't as good as they used to be, especially with the candle power of an S1. Craig could not even see which is why we left you at the Cabrach turn off and I took the lead.
It did not help with the number of bloody potholes on the road, the last one I hit was so severe that it snapped the interior mirror off and resulted in steering wheel vibration, and as a car had already knocked my outside mirror off, and the inside one was cracked, it was mostly guess work as where you were behind when I was overtaking. Still it kept me concentrated after eleven hours of driving. Left home at 0800, got home at 1900, and Jamie and I only stopped for fuel, plus coffee and chat at Iain's.

I nipped on at a section of road I like then we went straight for Huntly as I was late for dinner. I heard there was a slight mishap when we went our separate ways ?
