She's there now, picking up in the next couple of days for Le Mans. Like the feel of the place down there and hopefully have found a local garage that can do what needs doing, thanks for the heads up.
Have to think long and hard about what I have done, she is in basic good shape so do I spend some money on setting up a 4.0 or cut my losses and buy a 5.0. It's just a question of how fast a car needs to be. She does seem "slow" after the Tuscan but am enjoying her in a different way, so not missing the Tuscan at all.

Glad you like the guys at the garage. Really good people. A well maintained 4 is not that much slower than a standard 5. Don't get me wrong the 5 is quicker but is it worth another 4k or so! I don't think so,

Hi Frenhda,

I think it's looks good and funny, defo a nice touch for a trip to Le Mans (probably not for all the time either...).

I like the place where your registration is, mine is at the same place, I guess it's a personal choice, but think this is where they should have put the reg when they first made the car!

Have fun at Le Mans (not going, but a few of us are going to Le Mas classic..).

How do you put the number plate on the bonnet? Is it a vinyl replica?
Any legality issues?
