Re: A bit of spit and polish

Looks and sounds good too!: Loved the 'twisty' torque. HM wasn't part of the crew filming was he? No, I guess it was just nature's wind being collected by the 'mike'. The engine sounds and looks great, so you deserve a nomination on BF's competition.:

I was thinking about getting a stainless steel exhaust system for it at some point and was going to enquire about one from BLS as they are local to me
