Sorted now though

I'm kind of hoping that inline with some of your other awesome work on this car, you didn't have an A8 horn to hand so you modified one off a ship to fit

I think the horn on it I took of my land8 (land rover) for the same reason one year

I didn't have any A8 horns, but I did have Mike's old Passat waiting to be scrapped. Guess what horns it has now?

Mike, I still have exhaust from your old 8 that I won at 2012 A8 parts open day. I have been changing my mind too many times whether to fit it to my car or not and I think I have finally settled at not using it. I have decided to sell it but I think it would be only fair if I give it back to you if you would like to fit it to Dezzy's old 8 as I got it for free so might as well give it back for free and I don't know more deserving car for it.

Now I've had the Rat 8 for a couple of days and put a hundred miles on it I'm very pleased that the car has been save. The 4 speed is quite a different drive and it's running very smoothly. Plenty of life in the old bus yet.

Every day is a school day, I did not bu Arco gloves as it was working a bit dear with the postage but bought similar from e-bay Polyco Orange HD Nitrile disposable not powdered gloves and they are much stronger and durable than regular blue nitrile gloves I used before. Thanks for the tip.

I was not planning on going to Christmas meet but if you are and it is at Leamington Spa i might go as well , just need to measure if the exhaust will fit in boot of 8.
