AND IT GOES LIKE **** OFF A SHOVEL!!!!!!!!!!! Boy was it fun scooting thru the traffic and leaving every car for dead cant wait to get it remapped now and have a bit more:devil::devil:
yes all taxed and got its mot with no advisories and got my mate to go over it with a fine tooth comb in fact i had the whole garage round it for the first hour and a half of being there so it got well and truely scrutinized.....everyone was amazed by it and my mate who did the mot drove it afterwards up the road and scared himself and there aint no ditches to go in round wembley
all i can say is if you are thinking of doing it dont think JUST DO IT

Superb ! Might have to go for a spin on Thursday
Just curious what your insurance is like compared to a 1.1?
And nothing at all wrong, even the rear arches? No advisories?
