A BA 777? how exciting! I hope it enjoys it's new weather. I vote you find a way to put the new plates over the UK plates with out altering them. Then you can wear those distinctive plates like a ba

Won't you have to move the steering wheel/pedals to the left side of the car to make it a bug-i? Other than that lean the inital mixture about 3 flats and advance the timing 3-4 degrees for altitude.
