You too mate.
Shame I didn't get to show you those VE curves.
Next time I'm in the midlands I'll give you a shout.
Yea, getting more than 100% VE with N/A really intrigues me.

Hello mate,

We had a flying hello and bye as our stuff was flying round the place. I must add to the compliments for the car - absolutely awesome! Must have been agony on those roads!

How was the weather over there?

Better than the UK. It's raining a little.
When the krauts where I work make the usual complains about ENgland and our whether and food, I usually defend our Island, however, I think may be it DOES rain more in the UK relative to where I am now.

That went in Jan ... back into a Griff 500, in yellow this time, but that is in the classifieds to hopefully enable me to return to the Ferrari fold shortly yes

Mine was great too biggrin
Up early morning, a quick blast following a Cerb from Peterborough right up to my house.. how did it know?

Best part was when the Merc that had been tailgating me for miles decided to overtake, turning right at a roundabout while me and Cerb were going straight on in the left lane..
He tried to show off/race, and smashed the fecking thing straight into the roundabout barrier. Oh how I (we?) laughed.

Idiot rofl

Hi Ru,

Glad you made it home ok. It was nice meeting someone else who's tried working with the krauts smile Think changing an engine on a 2CV is probably easier then a wheel on your Porsche biggrin

Hi Charlie,
was great to meet you too, nice to compare notes on the Krauts and with someone who has worked in the automotive industry also.
