If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I reckon I will have spent about £2.5k after insurance/RFL/SVA etc.

Could have been cheaper and done substantially quicker.

Next project will be to modify something else. I have an idea, and you'll never guess it
