Passed through 60,000 miles, and broke it ::)

Need to jack it up later and refit the under tray to the nearside suspension arm by the looks :-\

Took out my frustration with the DVLA on the poor ol' Silver Bullet. Its ridiculously tail happy currently :(

Then put some fuel in it, 16mpg.

3.2 Air con gassed after changing the valve, set super cold  8)

Oil change on the 3.2, seriously over due! Is it me or are engines much smoother and quieter after a change? Placebo effect maybe.

Yep, thanks for that.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least, it's been surprisingly reliable for the last 6 months. ;D

Wow

Seriously impressed by the neatness of the welds. Presumably it has been TIG welded.

Is that your handiwork CEM?
