Default A Really Big Thank You

HI GUYS, I THOUGHT I SHOULD POST A THANK YOU TO ALL THE GUYS THAT HELPED ME OUT OVER THE WEEKEND PUTTING MY MANUAL INTO THE CAR.

FIRSTLY A REALLY BIG THANK YOU TO LOW XR ( DYLAN ) FOR LETTING ME USE HIS GARAGE AND DOING A LOT OF THE HARD STUFF.

THANKS TO GTHOFAN ( SCOTTY ), TONYB? ( ANTHONY ), BENTLES ( BENTLEY ),
BRENDON, BJSPENCER85 ( BRAD ), MARK_TD ( MARK ) AND EASILVERGHIA ( DEZZA ) FOR ALL THERE HARD WORK. THE CAR DRIVES GREAT AND THE EXHAUST NOTE NOW IS FANTASTIC.

THESE GUYS STARTED WORK ON MY CAR ON FRIDAY EVENING AROUND 6:30 AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL 1:00 SATURDAY AFTERNOON.


TOP EFFORT GUYS!

No worries Rob. Sorry I had to bail out early but I had a big day yesterday (a Bucks day and night for my sister's fiance). Glad you're happy with it.

No worries rob. any time mate. (within reason) It was a long day/night but worth it in the end. Thrashin the car up colchester rd, pullin skidies and fishies was awesome! we even snapped a belt speeding so fast! haha nah. Being serious, what GREAT teamwork getting this done. And i agree with Dylan, next time rob buy the pizza and booze (and strippers)

cheers
