Looks like the weather has come just at the right time for you to get out there and get some roof down miles on your new beast. All you need now is a pic on your profile showing your new motor.

Hi, wasn't your last post about a Griff? Did you trade that in? Didn't you get these reactions with that too?


As for the rev thing... I get that too but it doesn't seem to be a problem? Although I guess one of the Brain boxes will come on now & tell us we both need new engines/cars???

Might see you at Mania then...... have fun...

I'm taking my 9 year-old to Mania. The Chim.

Also taking my 53 year-old brother and a pair of crash-hats (but I hope we don't!).

Vinty - about the rev thing - They All Do That Sir. No worries. See you there.

Drum4it2 - great to see you the other night Grahame - hope you found your way to Maccy-D's OK. Washed the car night, now the dash lights don't work or the brake lights! - and I drove to work in it today!
