Got tyres fitted to the new RL7's and set about spraying them a slightly lighter colour - Plastidip is a brilliant product, even I can get a decent finish.

I would love to play in a smaller band. We only had 3 Alto's last night and some tough stuff...at least for me and it certainly focuses the mind!
Is that a wind up Graham or do you really play,, Anthony have you heard me play these days,,
It's not so pretty!
I was going out tonight but I've yanked my shoulder out earlier so gave it a miss.
Oh yeah I think you told me you blew a reed Anthony,
I'm a very odd drummer
I'm right footed but left handed
Try working that one out.
If you ever hear me you'll see I still havnt worked it out.

Feeling a little sick....they're talking about 5K for its "MOT" and oil leak fix.
Anyone wanna buy a Hayabusa?
Is that Pounds or Yen ? What sort of oil leak ? Thought you'd spent a lot on improvements etc so surprised by such MOT issues, are they a lot more rigorous in Japan ? In any case I feel for you mate !!Anyone wanna buy a Hayabusa?
Pounds mate. Typically budget about 1000-1500 for an MOT, even if nothing wrong. Should have the actual quote and breakdown of the price in a couple of days. Previous shop thought the oil leak was just the rear crank gasket, but apparently not the case. They are roughly saying about 2K parts and then labour on top of it.
This will be interesting.

If it's any consolation your car looks mean as hell mate.
Bring it home,stuff it in the garage and do it yourself while you ride the bike for the summer!!!

Japanese 'MoT' equivalent is notoriously strict on older cars. It's why so many get to sold into Europe through the grey market (especially MX-5s). Details of 'shaken' here although it may not be 100% accurate - dazee will have experienced the real thing!

Glad you're chuffed with em.......
Any catching on full lock??
Hi mate, havn't tried full lock yet, I need to fit the hub-centric spacers and longer wheel studs at weekend. Today was just a photoshoot, no test drive. Any catching on full lock??
Weathers looking good for a run out at the weekend though......
Yesterday got planning permission to build my new garage (showroom )
The stacking idea has worked Ok for a few years, but I'm always worried I might put the roof through the windowscreen. So it's a 3 car "clean" garage for the TVRs and a "dirty" 2 car garage for chassis cleaning and the old beemer. Thinks ... I've always fancied an AJP Cerbie or a Tuscan Racer .
I must stop raiding the piggy bank...but there are NO pockets in shrouds .. so got for it .
