Mat,
That is a shame you car is one of my favorites and I do love your engine bay, your engine looks techical but clean and tidy....awesome.
I too will not enter the S&S, just too much work, and as you say I am going for the driving experience, the car will be in race mode and that is it.
I think there is an opportunity for a national Show and shine event, maybe a 2 day event, a bit of a cruise but more of a social week end.
For the smart ones amoung us spell check this:
How in hell do you get your haed so far up your own arse.
