Going to try and finally sort the exhaust out, amongst other bits and bobs. I'll pop down to your place once I've woke it from its slumber.

Hope all is well with the "co-pilot". Mines growing up so fast its scary. I reckon they'll find the six-pot sound nice and soothing, perfect for getting them off to sleep....
