Well, in seems in better taste than a "look at how much I've been able to afford to spend on my car.....and at such a tender age too!" contribution

PS in accordance with the tendancy to inflate power outputs, my estimate of length may be a bit "optimistic" in the best tradition of being a bloke!

PPS I'm not a bitter old un!!!!
