Only 2 years, pah, join the 5+ year club of myself and Phill and we've still not finished

Don't say that, Sarah'll get upset looking forward lol

Looking good mate, getting it all fitted now before Blyton would be good, i will be available for assistance after the 5th of Sept if you need any help.

That offer will definitely be taken up! ;) Will drag Tim over too, hopefully sober this time.

Jesus I'm in the 2month club!! Got some catching up to do!

It flies by mate, won't be long!

If you need an extra pair of hands?

Yeah I'll pop over let me know.

On a different note I took my ashtray out today to reroute my hands free. I disconnected the cigarette lighter and got me thinking what I could mount there instead! Lol

You could mount you boost controller there. Then buy the optional center console with the ash tray in it for lighting "Stuff" and put another 12v power source in the side, just like this;

The pics not the best but you get the idea.

I've also decided to try and source some LCR\S3 rear calipers for the trackday so that I can upgrade to the vented discs rather than my current solids. Been wanting to do this for a while now and the track day gives me an excuse :)

The last thing for today, my old man turned up in his new motor. Drove down from Yorkshire to stay a few days. It would be rude not to share a pic we got this evening, just another petrol head and big kid at heart really lol
