I'm supposed to be taking part with the Oxford ride if my back holds up. I sneezed on Tuesday and it went into spasm, something I haven't experienced since before covid which is just my luck. I...
I believe the chances of other civilisations, that are sufficiently advanced to travel across the cosmos and be capable of visiting earth, existing at the same point in time as earths civilisation,...
My 997 is indeed Cobalt blue, I believe there's not a huge amount of difference between the later aqua blue and cobalt.
The fastest colour is whatever colour my current car is painted!...
Congratulations, you've got the fastest colour and the best wheels, here's my 997! :thumbsup:

Met another one at my tea stop yesterday, he only bought it 2 weeks ago - looks very nice!

Ouch! I hope there nothing permanently damaged. With you, the bike needs a slight refresh obviously! :thumbsup:
I don't know Baddiel's views but Skinner said recently “We've squeezed all the blood out of that stone now, and we've squeezed it hard. We've had a really good run. I feel the song is done really."
I didn't want to list them all, I did spot a fair few changes!

Don't trap your fingers with it! Cool as f*** though, many congratulations :thumbsup:
My son completed his third full marathon yesterday, he normally does half marathons but last year decided to try a few full distance ones to see how he gets on.
He didn't run the London marathon...
A beauty.
Go for the garage Tony, the cost is soon forgotten where lack of space isn't!
We have a Horman double up and over door with a Horman auto opener. Our garage door is constantly up and down like a whore's drawers and we've never had any issues with it. We've been here 3 years in...
Thanks for the info! :thumbsup:
I do tend to geek out on this kind of stuff....
Lovely, the pair of them! It looks like yours is a DBD34 model running a monoblock carb, does it also have the close ratio RRT2 gearbox?
Bingo, I thought it would be.
Do you also have a goldie or did I imagine that one!?
For the ultimate in not signaling your intentions ride a vintage machine. My Rapide has 6v electrics, no indicators and an anemic stop light only operated from the rear brake, however it does make...
I don't like a fuss but for my 60th my son took me to Istanbul for a few days which was memorable. He also arranged this which was great:

My dad had one installed in his 1960's bungalow in 2019, along with all the upgrades the system and bungalow needed to allow it to be fitted it seems to work very well, but energy costs are no...
