Build should be finished in about 2 weeks but then there is some faffing around to get the IVA.

I'm sure I could take delivery in February but this is a Birthday present to me and my birthday is mid March, so I'll pick it up just before.

I will be tracking it.

Tbfh, they shouldn't even use them in shear like that no matter what orientation, but as you say, it's common in kit cars.
's also why my mate went sliding down the track backwards at Oulton when the joints snapped...

Awesome. Great colour choice.
I hope Kelvin doesn't come into work with a hangover in the next few weeks though!

^ My thoughts exactly!

Still, if something did go wrong with the car at a later date you'd know who to twat in the face when you go back!
