Yeah matey- i got in about 20 mins ago after taking him down to get it!
Once he's given it a clean after and polish it should be spanking!!!!!
Oh, and it goes quite well too!

4i goes on saturday

the new car... i LOVE IT i thought my old 12vs were torquey but fuck me this is in a different league...

unfortunately i keep accidentally hitting the limiter in 2nd and 3rd gear as im not use to it revving so quick... lol

reverse gear is a BASTARD to engage tho the lift up thingie is underneath the gaiter n its bloomin 'orrible... lucky the quickshift willbe fitted saturday eh! lol

there's only one problem... THE REAR TYRES ARE TOO GRIPPY
