Jim,
It's all about power to weight - if you two fat fucks hadn't have been in the car, you would have TOASTED the 106 .

right for all you moaning gits
friday night painted the grill spats and under side of bonnet
and today gave the spats and grill one more coat and did the top of the bonnet !

top of the bonnet still needs a bit of work as there was so much paint going in the air setting and falling into the fresh paint
but it wil do till the slightly better weather comes then ill drive to a mates paint shop and it will be flatted and given a nice smooth top layer !!

heres a few pics may be fitted monday









nice and red ay
