Not fitted yet, last 2 weekends have been ******* it down with rain :(

Rain?

I was fitting a full catback system in my drive two days after taking delivery of my Mustang in the pitch black, freezing cold surrounded by snow of Winter and fired it up at 11pm, oh the neighbours loved me but there again we all need a loud exhaust, brakes are just for wimps I guess. :D

P.S. I cannot talk, still not sorted exhaust on Ferrari and I've got a garage to do it in, think it will be done this weekend. :D

Well its in for a service at lichos in a few weeks, will use the opportunity to change the brake fluid to some SRF as well, may just have them do it at the same time.

Makes sense Ferrari going for its MOT this month and I have being wondering do I just let them do the exhaust mod whilst its on the ramp, but don't think I can wait and its a small job anyway, just need get it up on ramps and rear diffuser removed and then just yank the vacuum line.

I guess getting it in the air will be easier just for the access more than difficulty in the job. Fortunately the vacuum line controller on the G is easily done from the back grills.

Must be a Lambo thing: I had someone report me to the police for supposedly running over his foot in a Gallardo I was driving. All got sorted out in the end but it was an enormous waste of everyone's time. I guess some people are just jealous or try to take advantage of you to make a bit of money.

That can't be real. Contact West Mercia Police and ask. Why is there no reference number and why is your name misspelt?
If it is real, then they should be ashamed of themselves for sending out such appallingly written letters.

That is insane, impersonating an officer surely? Can't be legitimate, unless they hire toddlers nowadays.

Erm, this seems thoroughly legitimate to have come from the actual police. Remember, not educated...

Edit: that's one to frame though, fantastic work! I presume it's "OMG how loud is that car, must be going 203mph in a 30", best report to the police.

I'd contact them directly with it. I mean, if someone is falsely making claims like this, then it's equally a waste of their time as it is yours.

Horrifically bad letter if it is real though.
