Er spending a lot of money this week. A pair of Sparco Sprint 5's are being arranged.

Sorted through a friend in the motorsport business a brand new pair of Sparco SPrint 5's for £250 including VAT and delivery, a saving of about £75. Result!

They look like this:



He's also sorting me some 3" harnesses for £150 which is a saving of 50%.

Horney is well chuffed.

Horney is well Chuffed.

That sounds scary!  Not as bad as Chuff being well Horney. 

Nice work so far, like the replacement exhaust tip, I miss having a nice rolled tip.

Good deal on the seats and harnesses! 

Have you got much else left to get?

Just went to remind myself of how this car started out and clocked the above.. I recently mentioned my temptation to AKAI mine and pondered on a number, if I were to go for my birth year it would be the same as yours.

Pointless fact of the evening,

2 Forum Racing Reps, same race number?
