Tbh i havent really drove the m30 much .I was having bother with keeping the temp down after doing the conversion.
When i finally solved the problem (sh*tty ebay fan) the mot had ran out and the winter was closing in.

Hoping to get a fresh mot on it in the next few weeks and going top try and get them both on the 1/4 mile strip.

They are two totally different animals tbh .I'll be in a better position to answer once the m30 is back on the road.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Like you don't mind showing of Dezzy :cool:

I'm liking the look of the M52's and the Hartge rocker cover is a nice job as well.

How do you all get your washer bottles so clean?

Or can you still buy them new?
