It's a 302 ;)

What a wicked daily though, when I was at school you were "doing alright" if you had a VN exec or EA GL!

Got any future plans (short & long term) with it? I spose with going to school not much changes will be made, but I'm sure that you'll be satisfied for a whiles yet :D

Cheers Fellas, took me a year to get the money for it.
Short term plans get it serviced :D
Long term plans would have to be getting a Boss 290 in it if i can :mrgreen: , and getting a respray to a much darker colour and new rims
