Nice one Wyn.
I did have a little hoon earlier (If you can call driving through city centre Birmingham a hoon).
Was nice to rip the tarmac up and create a lot of noise in the presence of unsuspecting shoppers.

The mesh job looks very tidy Wyn - something that was in desperate need of being done!

I think you B&Q mesh is ok, but I have read that if the mesh is too small <10mm then you can affect how much air gets to the rad, and can make your can run hotter.

Decided to go to the Shops yesterday around 11:00 ish, you know run a little errand for the Wife, earn those brownie points.

Came back after 90 minutes of glorious hooning around the peak district, Hathersage, Hope, Castleton, Winnats Pass (Should see the sheep run) then back up Froggat and Carver.... Spotted a few decent motors, and a lot of Porkers wink


Needless to say, not many brownie points were earned, and I ended up cooking Lunch (Worth it though).

Just been winding my mate up, as he had to do jobs, and his missus wouldn't let him play with his Cobra rep..

Will do Wyn boyo.

Still trying to make my mind up about these roundy thingys. Turn in is much, much better. Goes around corners better as well.

Loads of things more 'modern' about it and better though out than Wedges, but then again a load of things worse as well.

Finally figured out why you don't see many Griff owners with the roof down and the centre panel off - You can't get the fracking thing in the boot!!

I would also say about three times the heat!! aqbout half the noise and also about half the clout as the 450!! At least this thing hasn't tried to kill me at every roundabout....yet!
