Merry x-mass to everybody.

After the Christmas days I expect to spend a few in the workshop.

You're only being unfaithful if you drive them  ;D.  I've driven a Monaro, in its Vauxhall form, and they are awesome.  How they get 5.7 litres in that little Chevy V8 block is one of life's mysteries.
A happy, prosperous New Year, free of all mechanical troubles, to my fellow Matra addicts everywhere.

I can imagine that! It must be horribly brutal with all that power in a light 1960's car like that ;D
