well buy the sounds of it we should have a good day

it seams like your all gunna be ready for usc.

i'm on holiday the week after so lets look at a weekend in september?

if thats cool with everyone, that way with usc out the way its not so much of a problem worrying about braking anything and not making it to the show

not that they will brake but when you've shelled out 40 notes for a car show, you want to go in your own motor

yes mate it will be, i always open my bonnet after each run to try and get the bay as cool as posible even if it means pushin it down the fire up lane.

sayin that with 2 10in kenlow fans it soon cools right down.

i was out in mine yesterday and it felt underpowered because of the sun and lack of air, went out in it about 9 o'clock and it was fookin rapid!!!!

you've got to love em

no mate, the man who created the ZE-VH mr IAN HOWELL who built my engine needs maximum RESPECT

If he named it the ZE-VH then that is what it shall be known as.
