I wish mine was £325 :'(

You can buy them off the shelf ;)


 seems silly, when you own a company that makes exhaust/manifolds for a living.
:y The only off the shelf ones I have seen were for LHD only and with shorter primaries.  Maybe it's the wrong shelf?

They clashed with the steering box on RHD  :y

Put some fuel in it, they seem a lot faster when you haven't driven them for a while on empty roads!

FTFY Mark!  :y

I couldn't possibly comment!

That said I need to pop out this pm to do a SOTA test...........essential work at its best

Filled the Omega up with petrol at 101.9p per litre - which was nice.
Cheap petrol (relitavely) and clear roads. Almost like the 1970,s all over again.
All I need now is hair, teeth and a new skeleton to relive my yoof.

If you want hair, teeth and a new skeleton, it'll mean reverting back to that old Austin  :)

Mine seems to go sideways a lot now. Not sure if the tyres are not liking the limited use, of if the roads are greener.

It certainly caused a major clench the first time it got all messy, but I'm expecting it now.

Excuse me Sonny, motor vehicles don't just go sideways on their own, they need encouragement, normally by excessive use of the right foot ;D

Yep, it must be almost that long since my Omega had a Tech 2 session from you in Ipswich Tescos car park, and you were driving the black pussy then.
