She has the perfect voice for BBC commentary though very nice. We're putting Andy Pandy back in the box now it's time to say goodnight
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Fantastic :-)
Quick question, i want to mount my headlights high like yours, caterham style, do you have any pictures of the mounts ?? im presuming i will have to
make them but really like the way it looks.
Ive picked up the caterham indicators & plastic mounts, got the 7" headlights too, its just the mounts im not sure on.
Loving the BMW lump in there too
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.

I'll have a look for a pic of the mounts, its just a bent hollow tube. I've fitted 5 3/4 inch lights as the 7" look a bit big in
this car as its quite small. Its all the m3 drivetrain, rear uprights are custom for the kit and fronts are 'modified' exchange items to
get the geometry to make it handle. Looking at them I can only see the bearing/hub mount is retained.
ETA headlight bar.
