Thumbs up

You never asked for a passenger ride last time! and with the amount of clutch slip I had at Brands you would have fallen asleep! I did when Jeff had a go driving her! I have finished taking all bits off and am now putting (most) of them back on! Will send a pic later! Keep up the good work.

I might need one of those twin side exits if the DB is correct and I can find some clearance!

How much work was it to fit them?

RE: sounds interesting mate. never got any pics though???

Sorry Ronnie, I didnt get as far as I wanted in fittting bits back on last weekend, and an empty engine bay albeit clean and a shiny looks, (frankly) sad!

Regarding Brands, I think if it was scary explosive quick then Jeff wouldnt have wanted a drive as he does scare easily. Ask him about the various incidents over the years 1: TVR Griffith Incident in Cambridge. 2. The Rallycross Incident in Germany! He wasnt in the car for the infamous 86th lap of Nurburgring where I also got it wrong!

No human or any car was even scratched in any of these incidents! but they were very close calls! (Jeff reads this thread!) I get my crank back today so will get on with it! You will (continue to) love it mate!
