I really want to, especially if Alan is going to unleash the beast! The only problem is that I'll be on vacation. The car is running strong...9.75 .

Alan, I think you should wait.

Allan, happy to hear its all coming together.... Sorry to hear about the troubles with the BS3...

With a car like that I have to wonder what "running like an absolute beast" means...

- runs great when you start it up in the driveway
- run greats on the drives to get icecream
- you made passes but have not released the undercover footage

Can not wait to see footage of that beast making passes... It has been a long time coming but I think you will see it was worth the wait..
