If my 2year old daughter is anything to go by don't let the kid anywhere near the garage!

I put the bolt just there?! where did it go?

After spending 15minutes looking I decide to ask my daughter thinking there is no way she got anywhere near it..

In the oil can Daddy.....

Hmmmm...

Looking forward to seeing all this pipe work on Wednesday!

Once lost the car keys - couldn't find 'em anyplace...

Asked Ez (aged nearly 2)

She went & pointed @ the woofer speaker on the floor

Looked inside & stuck to the magnet were the keys

Last place I'd ever have looked!

Had to take the damn thing to pieces to get them out...

As David will know, my 2 year old loves anything mechanical, and really wants to help his dad, just annoying when he gets a spanner on the bodywork!!

Holy good f**K....thats a lot of hoses......

Make sure the braided hoses are well tied down, so they cant rub/chafe on any other softer items. The braided hose wont rub through, but it will very quickly eat through any soft hoses/wires it rubs on.

David, Amazing project, can't wait to see it in action.

You'll have spent so much time, money and effort on this beast you won't want to drive it incase it gets dirty or the parts wear out

, let alone thrash the **** off it to see what it's capable of

I can picture it now parked in the garage in bubble wrap

Craig.

PS Can you forward me details of my test drive
