Ypu gonna enjoy some light reading this evening. Hit 75 miles in it and bounced it off the rev limiter!!!!1

Most of the miles have been pretty steady, but opened it up on several occasions.

Nice one Oilman, hope the wait has been worth it, although I think we know the answer to that one!

Any chance of some close up photos of the strafes ... and BTW did you get brushed or polished strafes?
