well, i got back finally, it was fucking pissin it down with rain, so me K&N was dripping wet, and kept bloody freezing! Carb icing is gay.

XE went in, 3 of us lifted it in, dented n scratched my rear bar thing wheres the boot locks.

Had no money as werent for me, and had petrol light come on on the M25, run out in basildon (20 mins from home), mate was there with a jerry can full though. :D

Oh yeh and that big dirty old XE went through my back window on the M1, so i was fucking freezing all the way home. :cry:

Bit of a shit journey really :cry:
