cheers for that Rich,

if i put the brakes on,that clicking noise goes,and it only does it 
after a long run,i put 350 miles on the clock last weekend! don't 
think it's been used so often! but to be quite fair i loved every 
mile,and in top gear on the motorway it goes really well!

Mark,
i live in the west midlands,near worcester,so not that far from 
you,i was worried about the lack of speed,but once i drove mine i 
was very suprised! there not that bad!

i'll send you some pics via e-mail,

cheers
