It is a lovely little truck, hope the run home wasn’t too cold  Thanks for the video, I didn't realise I looked that big in the cab!  drive home was surprisingly kind actually. On the drive home I realised who you were - i knew the car from your descriptions but hadn't related it to "johnthesparky" i suffer from the name = car conflict every time so apologies for this occasion ans hopefully i'll recognise you next time... |

The sound of a working heater meaning the windscreen won’t fog up, the engine won’t overheat and I can drive without the window open so won’t freeze on each journey! |

That's always a good sound, though I have the additional sound of rustling leaves as there are some stuck in the windscreen vent that I've yet to get round to clearing |

I would so love to be up close with his car, just to look at it, sit next to it and absorb what you have done.
I really like it.

It looks even better in the flesh and its very obvious that Phil has expended a great deal of thought, time, commitment & expense in getting the Acty to this stage - Its very unique & exactly detailed - I'm not very much into the lowered scene at all but this has been so superbly executed it looks excellent at / on any level* * Apologies Phil - I meant to comment straight after the NEC show but have been so bloody busy with everything else around me  |

I had the sound of rattling broken glass in mine but I had chance to shake it all out when I stripped the truck. |

Hoping the new owner hasn’t taken on too much and gets it as original spec. I know I would have done, just with added lows!! |
