Very nice, it just needs to be off the drive now with you in it.

I'm sure it was worth the wait

A nice complement for the S2000

Am I right in recalling that you're a sparky, soulcrew? Or have I got the wrong person completely....? Assuming it's right, business must be good at the minute!

Only about 400 foot pounds of torque. Oh petal, how ever will you wear them out?



Looks so in yer face, it's great!

Have fun re-encating "the cars that ate Paris" or "Mad Max" or "Back in Black" or whatever!
