Excellent, 4.6 as well Look forward to seeing it.
The wedge, well, should we say it's not going anywhere at the moment, I'm a bit busy getting wifeys alfa back on the road....Mind you the wedge did shoot a 4' flame out if the air intake the other day when Dave and I were trying to start it, so it's fun and games...

well only little me turned out yesterday for the fish & chip run...in fact might have been the only S there out of 22 cars. Anyway, clocked up a couple of hundred miles...so the new cam should be feeling comfy now.

Perhaps see a few more next time out eh ?

Not sure!

Just my luck, post once in a blue moon and still manage to upset someone.
