Hello there!
I'm Phil from the West Country and I have this wonderful contraption:
Having paid a pittance for it I then found I had to spend a LOT on it to get it through the MOT. Many thanks to Matt of Nippon Tune for three solid weeks of welding at mates-rates and for taking the dive of "learning Landrover" instead of Jap Performance!
