I see darren has invested his interests into someone elses car rather than his own haha :p Tom im very jelly of your bus, from what darrens told me it seriously moves... your making me want to get another 205! Absolutely mint project, it was a mint car before, and now has a mint well setup reliable engine with a solid bottom and top end. I envy this, you can use this as a daily with so much power and I bet its pretty bullet proof (Until your cups drop out :p). Well done to darren for putting up another epic video of the build, wouldnt expect anything less. Time like this I wish I was local again just to see this in the flesh - I want to see more videos!!!!!

I found a cable tie around the phone and interior mirror worked well...just stick the end of the phone which has the camera out a bit, means you have access to the screen and a movable mount in a sweet position. doesnt give revs mind.
sent you something first class Tom
