Duncan, surprised to see it was Sept 05 when I got the Dart from you. Where did those 5 1/2 years go? My lad Charlie nearly a teenager now and still well into Mopars. We have had some great times in the car together. Charlie still talks about when he left junior school and went to the leaving night in the Dart with some mates. Gave him plenty of street cred.

Cheers Duncan-but most of the credit must go to my mate who is helping and the inverter mig we hired-fantastic bit of kit.
