...behind me today, as we pulled on to the M4.

I'm sorry that smug look of self-satisfaction on your face, as you sat on my tow-bar turned to a quizzical impression half way down the on-ramp.
I'm sorry it then turned to concern as we got on to the Motorway.

And I'm sorry for giving you that sheer look of frustration as you looked feverishly at your instrument guage to see what was wrong as I left you at naughty speeds, quite conclusively in my wake....it must have made your day.


Pant-wettingly funny though

Richard, MRK_IV had to stop polishing the dub (it had a layer of 3 cm of Carnuba already), so he started on the Leg.

Never mess with people who clean their engine bays. Weekly. Twice

Gary,

There is a guy on here who had a crank made, and builds engines, might be worth emailing him..

Mail me offline.
