Hello Petavius,

Great to have a lady (female) on board. :D

Funny how the 340 attaches like a lovable pet, have just spent some hours pampering my own.

Hope you enjoy the forum

Its a B14 1.4. I put a second engine in it 3 years ago when the other had too many problems to put right! Also i have changed the carb, exhaust, clutch and handbrake cable! I have had him nearly 6 years now and have lots of pics, I'll post one soon.
