I seen you on Saturday Mainsy not far from Knockhill, I was in the blue S2. Your car looked mega shiney then, can't believe you spent 13hrs on it afterwards !

Well worth the effort though, looks fantastic :thumbsup

:wave yeah i saw you, i had to nip off early, had an errand to run in the burgh. the car was cleanish but needed stripped down to the bare paint, it was covered in dead flies and tar spots :x . its now wearing 2 layers of wax, so that should see me right for a few months :D

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Youve shamed me into action Mainsy, shiney or what! Still on holiday so will give my car the works today :wink:

Didn't see you at Knockhill on Saturay to say hi, I was up with Blaque from the Royal Burgh.

Still got my hard-top on :oops:

Cheers,

John

Next week and a half is the target just need to collect my block from Livi (getting liner heights sorted and liners honed) and bang my new head on it (thanks Mikie 711) :thumbsup then get it all popped into my car and a wee bit of running in required due to the liners being honed and new rings being fitted
