hI

Who starts these rumours then, drove to Zoo on Saturday so not dead yet, had a hose blow on the way there, but had a spare delivered ( by the missus) & was soon on my way.
Car is running 1.6bar at the mo & it goes to Mark on Tuesday for all the desired functions to be connected. Will revisit the Fabricators this afternoon (Monday) as the Turbosmart aint sealing properly. Looking good at the mo to be finished on time, I hope that no last minute probs arrise.
Cheers Rod
