I was thinking about it for mine, I've seen it done on other classics and it looks great, just not sure it'd work with my shade of red.

Anyone got any opinions?
It does look good - Ive got a number if you want it of a guy who painted my spoiler - he did a cracking job let me know if you want it - its a place in manchester.

I'll speak to you later (today) about it. The guy I use for bodywork is about 1/2 a mile from the Unicorn. We pass it on the way to the Cat and Fiddle from there. He's ace. Does a cracking job and charges about half what everyone else wants for the same job. I'd recommend him any time.

Sorry guys, the jetlag caught up with me and I have only just managed to extricate myself from my pit due to offers of chocolate etc.

Hope you had a good one and I expect a write up for the newsletter

Big thanks to Pete for the run today. We'll let you off the one U turn in Settle!! We were on some fantastic roads and the weather, especially this afternoon, was just perfect.

Thanks again Pete.

Sorry ste, you said you were going to get back to watch the Match, so i assumed thats what you were doing, i did shout bye as i left. Spent an hour romping up the M6 30 mins on an A road and caught them up. Good roads, i wish i hadn't gone though as I made a very very big mistake born of fustraction at lack of progress passed traffic ending in a very very stupid & dangerous overtaking manouver, i had to cut in on a DR.P tried to put my hand up to apolagise but in return i got the old waived wrist routine which really pissed me off and ended in a very nasty arguement. But **** it i've had my wrx for 2 yrs now and not crashed yet so im allowed the odd error and anyone who says they never make mistakes when driving is a liar. Thanks for th route pete the run was good when i was following you and paul.

You don't realise how close to taking my front out he came on a hill as we were reaching the crest as well, madness but at the end of the day know one has been hurt so may-be it's best left alone.
And i say again them road's "HOW GOOD WERE THEY" they had everything fast straights and nice curvy bends s*** hot.
