    Each to their own.
    Personally I'd rather get out in mine every weekend than spend time building an engine for it. Not that I'd have a clue where to start.
     
  3. It has...

    If you leave it closed, it'll act as an air brake and slow you down by a good couple of seconds over the 1/4 :eek:
     
  4. Does this mean I've got to take the fire pit and awning off of the roof rack? ;)

  7. I would check out Jake Raby, his name is synonymous with performance Type 4. Seems he is more focused on Porsche, but still Type 4 power...
     
  8. JR doesn't recommend what we do with our buses over here, and he certainly wouldn't agree with how I build them :lol:

  16. I'm sure you quoted me for that sort of head work. Can you pm me a price as I can't find it
    :)
     
  17. You mean you tell your wife how much you spend on your cars? I would have been dead a long time ago! At least mine has a handbag habit that I can use in my defence, but she never knows the whole truth.

    I bet she thinks you don't really know how much the handbags cost as well, I know my Mrs does!

  20. Don't talk to me about *****ing handbags. And shoes. It's like living with Imelda *****ing Marcos here. I've got 3 of them. We have a *****ing shoe room for ***** sake!!!

    No, I don't tell her how much I spend on cars, although it's pretty obvious, the drive and garage are full of the *****ers and I've got engines crammed in every available space :lol:

    Although she did buy me the Doka. Of a fashion

    :)
