We are nearing the end, thank goodness. The 900 Turbo has now left 2refinish after ganing an MOT and being finely fettled. Kudos to the team there for continuing to chip away at issues like the fuel sender and reversing lights after we had agreed the final bill and 'cutoff' of fettling.I drove up to Hinckley in the Accord to collect the final boxes of spares to sell, and of course... drive it for the first time. Driving up to see this at 10am as the first rays of spring sunchine cracked the clouds was quite a moment, I can tell you.Very, very happy with this - the new grill for a flat front I picked out looks perfect!
