Fixed the carb (again) I hope! cleaned the glass a bit and stuffed some new wipers on for the weekend!
Now it's gas it up and cross me fingers time! I wish I would have had some time to work on it

I thought Alex had been on the herbal woodbines, with that great big smile...until I heard that time!
Top car, top result, top weekend all round, I think
Oh look, there's Alex again...
