Hi Kevin & Dannuth.. You wont regret it! going to be a good day!

Greg, any sign of country_est & mapracing? I'm sure they said they were coming to the next one?

Oh - and I'm sitting here like an expectant father... 2" lift in the post from fleabay - opened at £12.50 + £10 p&p - no bidders (might have been the spelling mistakes!)...all bolts oiled up and wire brushed (DAILY!) ready for removing, bank holiday weekend post grrrr should have been here Fri - Saturday.

Got the week off to fit it, get the brakes sorted (losing a tiny bit of fluid, but no obvious leaks), do a fluids change.. oh and refit the bathroom according to SWMBO... but first things first... Martha get taller!
