Fook me that's a great little buy . I thought I was getting some good deals this year. Think I'm going down the swirl pot rout instead of baffled tank. Obviously the added range is a bonus in its self.

So, in about 3 days I've spent over £200 on fuel!!! But loved it!!

 

Did Llandow on Wednesday and Snetteron 300 last night.

 

Today was spent at CourtenaySport having oil/filter change, brake fluid change, poly engine mount insert, reverse light switch and a dyno check to make sure map is all good thumbsup

 

Car is running soooo well at the moment, it loves being used hard :lol:
