The stickers went on Saturday, thanks to the expert supply and application of Rob..

Sooooo, its finished.. I will add a couple more stickers and some numbers later, but for now, this is it...

Here's a pic of what it looked like when I got it and what it looks like now.

Christ how did I miss this.

I doubt it Hoffy. I like to think of our part as "inspirational". ie why would you want to waste your Sundays out riding that lovely green 10 in the garage when you could be in the safe and secure surrounds of that very same garage smacking your head against a brick wall.

And besides if we didn't drink those beers Dave would've just had a bigger hangover. The things we do

Nice job by the way mate.
