I bought this for a charity rally and have totally fallen in love. My wife hates it and makes me park down the road. It’s staying until it blows up! If anyone knows anyone near Brighton who can do the belts for a sensible price then I’m all ears. None of the garages I’ve approached have even wanted to do them. ?????

Pm'd you
