  Thanks. Its 12.5mm boards and the type of fixings used are the toggle type which you drill a hole through the osb and they then spread out the load to the rear of the sheet. I've been up several times to test it.

  I’ve been a bit slack updating this but I’ve been progressing this on my own apart from getting someone in to skim the walls.
  I’ve done everything else - first fix/second fix joinery, plasterboarding, second fix electrics, levelling screed and now putting the floor down.
  All whilst working full time and separated with four children 4, 6, 8 and 10
  I’m making excuses for why it’s not as impressive as all the other builds on here.
  I just wanted it finished now….

  I'm currently trying to sell my LHD Pelagos on Chrono24. I've had an enquiry from someone in Switzerland who has asked for postage costs.
  I would normally use Royal Mail Special Delivery but this appears to be UK only. Quick google and it looks like £136-£200 with £3000 insurance.
  Anyone have any better options before I reply

  I’m marshalling at the national champs today - the course is brutal. It’s hard just watching

  Thanks. I’m amazed that these only have 115bhp - not really hot hatches. I’ve said put it as a classified ad on eBay for £5995
