    Gee, that's a lovely result and yes, as are your 575 buttons.

    I respect the effort you go to with details, just like Elliot does with his beautiful 355.

    btw the cable with the blue plastic fitting on the side of the intake plenum is disconnected on DMWC's QV, does anyone know it's purpose?

    I'm guessing cold start related.

    Surprised to see that the printed text fills more of the air box surface on your air box than it does in the brochure

    Looks brand new only bigger

    Cold star injector. Doesn't do much in this country. They can all be disconnected now, due to climate change

    if you notice that airbox lid is actually a different shape, and so the lettering is centred differently, hence why it looks different

    It’s crazy what a whiff of paint and attention to detail (plus a new expansion tank) will do to smarten up an engine bay, looks lovely Greg [emoji106]

    I'm there! I have the artwork, but will never get around to making a screen. Next trip down I'll bring my airbox cover in my carry-on [emoji23]

    Inaugural Hawaiian Shirt breakfast run today, but only Pat and I were appropriately attired.

    Chin was a late scratching with man-flu, so the fashion sense was lacking too.

    The Mondial was so COOOOL. Image Unavailable, Please Login
