879, Thanks man. What's bad is that I've owned the car for quite a bit longer than you've had yours and you're so far ahead of me!!

879, yep that's fer sure and I can second that, particularly after waiting since December 28th 2009 up until now for my ride to be finished and any, "well I think I'll just add a [fill in the blank]"......starts to add up in a hurry. 
But happy to say I leave for the USA tomorrow and will be finally taking delivery on June 15th. hooray.
Cheers, John AKA, tin-man

Steve, ouch....................... that smarts. I done put a motor in it and took it out and put it back and took it out and put it back, for a final time, something about it being too big and having to position it just right and then slide it in gently on account of its size.
I do seem to recall I have heard that said before but that's another story for another time.
Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man
