looks like it will be monday boys, neals tied up up until the back of 5. I am well up for the consumption of food and was thinking about it last nightm, and this morning.

Anyway Doc, the army fella you knwo the one that protects ourt country, i'm sure you recall his muppetness when we got his ph2 hatch and he has no sense of direction.

Well he said it was london, the bristol now apparently its in brighton! lol

So yes the heads being driopped off with neal, then the cabby will be worked on back at docs.

well there in lies the problem neal.

chets not the best at head assembly by his own admission and his seals have been removed.

I am more concerned by the snow and more to the point the engine for doc thats under it!

I need to get the box off it and try and sort out the broken manifold to downpiep stud in it!
