    Just had a look on eBay, very nice.....I was tempted to ask the seller how much he would give for the Black Shark in part ex...then thought better of it - I've got that engine & box anyway, the suspension is harder than mine (I'm getting old now) and the nice orangey colour would attract the wrong sort of attention round my way. It looks really nice tho

    Go for it Frankie, chop the X5 in.....?
