Thanks for the kind comment skippad...tempted? 
Sorry nick, it isn't Pat but it is Pat's car - my dad and I bought it from him back in January 2008. I'm just hoping that everyone
who contributed to the build (and I know there are many from looking back through the threads that Pat created before buying it) feels our efforts in
developing it since then have done his justice.
Fantastic car and a very sad sale
