I'd love an APR exhaust if they can make it sound like that!

I think you're gonna have to now Fred  :grin:

Now that I’d love to watch.
But only if you didn’t edit your appreciative expletives every time a large SUV cut you up or an artic did something unfathomably dangerous.

Well when I do it do please tune in. It won't be suitable for PG audiences and even experienced sailors may learn some new words.

I might also need to blur the speedo.. A bit.

Interesting -and I love that colour they have wrapped it in  :cool:

I've never really looked at wrapping, but suspect its quite pricey to do the whole car like that.
