You need a nice Cusco rear strutbrace for it to celebrate....

I planned on fitting my towbar this weekend, initially said I'd do it Saturday, but last minute offshore day trip put pay to that, no matter, I'll do it today I thought, had barely been home half an hour last night when I got the call, back out today so still not done, I can however confirm that it's raining and incredibly cold on the 27 alpha lol
