What system do you guys use when washing ?.

If it’s really manky after rain/dirty roads then it’s snow foam and a very careful, low power, pressure wash. Hose off, and hot air blower to dry it off.

Martin, I agree, it’s a pain to wash.

Washed it in readiness for the RT meet

Finally got round to fitting the new face to my 1964 lambretta winter model speedo.




You cannot buy these speedo's,rare as hens teeth(for the Spanish Winter model)So a kind friend offered to replicate as best he could(very much an enthusiast)and I think he's done a decent job

110 mile round trip to give plasma in Brum this morning. I was taking the train until it was cancelled 10 minutes before leaving home.

Got a 45 quid voucher against my next ticket for the delay. Worth filling the form in.

Just a normal working day for me, I work for a Japanese company, they don't do bank holidays apart from Christmas/New Year.

Same here Glenn. I work in the care industry, it's relentless sometimes.

My 1995 Mustang GT 5.0 was MOT'd today without any problems.

Next year it will have historic status (30+ years) and insurance will be about 35,- euros per year and there will no longer be any road tax.

It was emptying my bank account day for me - 2 new tyres, 3 new discs, new pads and a 35,000 mile service.
