It does have the right colour like Chris van, the right engine like Chris and a madman at the wheel like Chris. :good:

Best of luck with it and look forward to updates.

That was a lucky find H. :good:
Not many merits around with red tops fitted. :good: :good:
You made me a bit jealous with the last one, the only thing that could make me more jealous now is if you get a black one. :lol: :lol: :lol:
