thanks everyone for your input if i do change it will be later in the year . my p38 has 250000 miles on it and i have a lot of work and rebuilding done to it and while it is running and driving like new it beginning to look a bit worn and i was thinking of buying a 322 for "herself" keeping the p38 for my own driving and tearing about . you have helped me a lot the only thing thats an issue is the price of parts i dont have to worry about garage costs as i do my own work. once again thanks for the advice. john.
