Always enjoy reading updates on this Adam, sweet ride and the BBS's look smart.... Just wondering, might sound like a daft question; but what's the safest way to steam clean the engine bay? Does it not cause bother with the array of sensors engines have nowadays?

I usually leave my engine running and I don't blast the nozel at the engine I use the spray from the jet mostly :)

Looks proper smart it does! Can't wait to get her to some shows with Rosie! :)

Also I've brought in a little teenie weenie bit of negative camber on my rears to get the stretch tucking into the arch a little better, excuse the dirt I've been pedalling it hard down the back lanes :)

I'm glad its this way now. I love looking at cars and admiring the attention to detail people do. Even if you miss it the first time.

Cars spot on Adam, beauty of a car :)
