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

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
