not much done on KUH this weekend, my HB estate BDH hadn't been for a run for a couple of months so i fetched it from it's lock up & checked the brakes over, Sunday was spent going to a car boot sale & tidying up the garden so it was handy having the estate to run about in & go to the tip, Heres a pic with KUH
and another at home with TMD

I take my hat off to you - that's an excellent job. Wish I was as neat as that - and as thorough.
