Well Kenny called me this afternoon (just before he slopes off for a week on the Lash in the sunshine)...He's ordered a NEW tank from Ford.. 207 Quid... not as bad as i'd expected, and suprised they actually had one in stock, should be delivered to MSD next Wed....So nothing will happen til he comes back, cos Stu is up to his arse in it...and another week wont make any difference in the long term...And thanks to all of your comments and support with my car... But im still after an UNSPLIT r/h dash.... and yes Nick I will still be down to see you....Thanks Wilmot..
