TERRIFIC !!! I love how you Brits do roadtesting on muddy gravel on a rainy day, when others wouldn't even think about opening their climate controlled garage door in that conditions.
And who would've thought, the old Lady looks classy on stock suspension and tall 16s....love it !
Go on have fun ! Very Happy

Nice one Dai, keep at it. Looks like you are a few days ahead of me with your running in! My 55 ran for the first time on Monday and now just about to book a ferry ticket!

Fingers crossed for you! (if not, fingers oily and a bit more muttering should see it done)
