Hi Martin

Get the paint out lol, yes it's a long way from the maestro
Be great to get out together at Bristol and Swindon Combe
John got the AP's from you last year so hopefully it will stop and go well
I will give you a call in the week about some brakes for my road car (PM if you get chance AP 4 pots and 350s B&R to suit Audi A4 B7, same as VW MK5 fitment I believe )
