nicely, bout same power as my classic, but its bit less refined then yours  newer ones are so smooth you dont realise how fast your going. had a go in a 400hp newage, its plenty for a road car.

still love the classics, think they have a much better rawness about them but just hard to find decent examles nowadays, they still got for megabucks to for decent type RA's etc.
for an everyday road car they are awesome, even better on quiet b roads at night

That looks great mate. Nice way of washing it as well lol. The only thing I'm in the habit of now doing is using the 2 bucket method, you'd be amazed how much it actually works lol.

Yes, and you'll be amazed at just how dirty the rinse bucket does get - especially this time of the year.
As a result it does also help to keep the paintwork swirl / wash marring free - but obviously harder to notice on non corrected paintwork.

and nath - you say running costs but realistically the only real expensive side is the petrol! only takes 50 quid to fill the tank though. servicing and maintaining is infact quite reasonable. unlike the and i hate to use these 2 letters in this thread but M3
quick question.
how does it take 50 quid to fill up a 60 litre tank, when fuel is minimum 1.20 a litre?

ok when i say 50 quid thats when its about an eighth or quarter left in it, dont let it ever run really low so i worded that a bit wrong.

I use 2 aswell, you don't realise how much grime, crud etc you're rinsing off.
