My car is being finished tonight! Already got engine running smoothly. So excited, but I'll have to wear engine in so only 3000rpm for me for the next 1000 miles.

Can't wait til those 1000 miles are up. Might have to take a few long trips out to start making a dent in that 1000 miles

Ordered a brand new replacement engine off fleabay and the work has started. It's being done on the driveway at home by a friend in the trade and his colleague. Most of the extra bits are now removed from the car (manifolds, battery,...

The excellent RS6's and RS1's have just left the door on their way up to Nottingham with a nice chap called Richard who I'm confident will get a great deal of enjoyment out of them, and I'm down to just a pair of Kef IQ1's sitting on my TV stand.
