Here are the exit pipes from my new exhaust. Went for a run on Monday evening did the local 0-70 route and it felt faster than before so maybe I've gained a couple of HP.

It is loud, when I was planning it I was thinking subtle raspy thoughts, but then when I was in the shop I thought for £295 quid I want to know where my money has gone So I've got two small silencers and the smallest twin exit pipe they had (not all that small). Better pics when I get a little more time.

Looks good Matt

As said to KC it will probably have a slightly tinny note for a week or so till the carbon fills the baffles it won't be quite as loud in a few months time but it will be a more tuned note then. The BMW and Barchetta took months to settle down after fitting the custom Stainless.

Anyway I'm sure the smile on your face will be just that wee bit wider when your out for a drive

Quick update on the car, clutch is adjusted and she is running smoothly. General plan is to get some more of the mechanical bits sorted whilst I am not garaged and once she has a home, get the bodywork properly sorted. My Eibachs are really rusty looking so coilovers are probably next on the menu, unless I can cajole Peter into making me an induction kit, in which case that will come first.

Give Pete a nag, I am sure he would be more than happy to help

Now the real reason I am on here at this time of day is that I want to let you all know that Laura and I had a baby girl on Monday afternoon, she weighed 7lbs 9ozs. We have named her Edith Elizabeth and she is lovely. This is her when she was just hours old!

WeY HEY! Congratulations to you both!

Wow! Congratulations to you and Laura - you must be so happy

Nice one Matt congrats m8

Got through MOT today. Great job by the guys at MGC in Nottingham. Got new discs and pads at the back and a new offside wheel bearing £240 including the MOT and VAT. Great service. On the walk from work to MGC I saw a Silver Barchetta with a hardtop and a fiatforum sticker on the windscreen, felt like a really odd coincidence when the receptionist at the garage told me she'd never seen another B!

The silver Mark 2 with a hartop in the midlands. I was sure I recognised the car.

ooo! More than likely me - where was the car? Was it really dirty?

Yes it was me! I was going to Boots but parked miles away to keep away from the other nasty car owners
