Nice motor that Mike. I have always liked these cars and nearly purchased one a bit back but my Octy VRS fits my needs more. However my Mrs is going to pass her test soon...hmmm...second car me thinks

Did the aero under body mods this afternoon. Piece of piss and hopefully save a euro or two on the autobahn in fuel.

Strange, I know I commented on your thread earlier today?

None the less, Your Seat is turning out great. I do like the new colour for the CH's.
