Didn't have time to post up last night Chris as i left Steve's around 9 o'clock and by the time i got home i was knackered, but one things for sure, it sounds the dogs danglies mate, esp with the cams and the new exhaust. :D

And yes, it was another long day for Mr W but worth it in the end once it was fired up for the first time. The guy deserves a medal or a long bloody holiday LOL

Just needs the finishing touches done and it will be ready for you to have some long awaited fun ;)

Looking forward to hear how he got on today esp since the weather has been a tad wet, to say the least...

Oh aye, mind and get some large petrol cans ....we can't have you nearly running out of fuel like the last time when your out playing :D

Safe journey home mate.

Speak soon.
