Hi Folks

Just recently got myself a 450. 4 litre, 5 litre...? Thought it'd be a good compromise!

Got lots of stick cos my fiance is 9 weeks off giving birth, but to me that means lots of driving alone whilst she's on maternity leave (we work at the same place) so no worries. Had loads set up to view...the one I got in the end was the third one I saw. Needs a couple of minor bits doing but otherwise sound.

Did I read somewhere that there's a meet at Street this Sunday..?

Here's some piccies (hopefully!)






Cheers!

Matt

Was lucky with the indicators - already done. He'd had this speaker unit built for the back as well, although it wasn't fitted. Had it done at Sextons in Hereford but they haven't done a very good job - it whines like mad. It's going to Sextons in Bath on Saturday to be redone - hope they do a better job!

Since i got mine, i've never regrettet it.... well, apart from waking up on the monday morning and thinkin' "what the heck have i done!" (first car bought that cost over £2.50) then i got into her, drove her to work, grinned a heck of alot, parked up, then thought to myself "cos it's bloody gorgeous, fun, and ruddy fast. THAT'S WHY!!"

Keep grinnin'
