    i'd say it has to be a volvo body and it don't matter what engine it has, not that anyone has changed engines for something else

    I'd love to say yes - but the triplets will be in the first few months of being at home, so running off for a jolly sounds as delightful as it is unlikely. Still no harm in asking. As long shots go - it is pretty far fetched.

    It's surprisingly good on fuel , for the size of the engine, only used half a tank of fuel on Sunday, that's a 200 mile round trip plus all the moving about and 5 runs up the strip.

    I think Jim's started something there...

    Pretty soon she'll be launching quicker than him!

    Lol

    Think I'm gonna try and persuade Mrs Sideways to have a go, then hopefully she'll be hooked and then modifying would be actively encouraged rather than accompanied by much swearing...

    Somehow doubt it, but a fella can dream right??

    Oh, yeah get the vids up
