GasMan Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 On Carbs. Possibly the last one on carbs due to emission reg changes and MOT. Thats all irrellevant to me as its just superb. Despite all the delays its hats off to James Whiting once again. Quite simply the best car I have ever driven. GasMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
