Since I bought Vinnie I thought I would leave Monty for this year.... On the positive side it gives me plenty of time to get ready for 2012.... :)

So a few new goodies Monty has so far after A long trip to see a friend and get a great deal on a few bits :)

Braided PTFE lines with additional Bosch O44 pump, 2.5 litre swirl pot, normal and high flow filters with Aeroquip throughout...

Quality build and great write up :)

Nice to see someone building a car and actually using it!

Too many people on forums build cars then break them once complete, or dont use them at all lol

:)
