Extra point if you recognise the exact Suzuki model in the background (it's not common !)
1970 Suzuki T125 Stinger with the black intermittent tail pipe (if all chrome between the silencer and tail pipe it would be a T125 Flying Leopard)
Extra point granted - congratulations !

OK , thanks for the feedback - sort of what I had thought , but now have a better feeling for the why .... pity , it seemed better in the past (probably true of lots of things !!!) Not sure that there is a better alternative ? (Gum tree I have found fine for things like used vehicles , but not sure ...

Has ebay uk market place changed ?

Just curious - if it's my impression or reality ? Go back a few years to when I last posted some stuff for sale on ebay (old motoring related) - within hours / days ... lots of views , some watchers , and sometimes even a few early bids. Fast forwards to last week : (trying to clear out some old mot...

Re: The cost of filling up your car ...

There is a blindness to electricity. It just comes out of the wall and you pay for it, nowadays quite a lot. You just plug in and all is great, few have a power station in their back yard, or a forest of windmills on their horizon. 240v is dirty, you just don't see the source, don't smell it, don't...

Re: Went for a wee spin on the m/cycle ! (21 countries & 6000 miles)

Yes please! I'm off to Dakar (Senegal) next month on my Yamaha T7 Tenere. It's an organised rally loosely following the route of the original Dakar from the late 80s when the rally went through Morocco rather than Algeria. Was your trip invite only? Ok , will organise some photies (the 1010 taken i...

Went for a wee spin on the m/cycle ! (21 countries & 6000 miles)

It's simple really - every year for the last 6 or 7 , the FIM (that's the two wheel bit of the FIA to you Formula 1 fans) organise a get together for Motorcyclists. Usually a different country -the aim being a social event to "promote" motorcycling in the country that is hosting it. Max 25...

Re: Insurance Cover for Hillclimbs

Situation normal , as per rally cars. Yes , you can get insurance IF you can afford to pay for it .... think somewhere in the order of 15 to 25% of the cars value. Yes , not a typo. Just forget it and drive accordingly is the norm

Re: Flares....

Going to be fantastic Darren, solid rockers as well? I've decided to fit Schrick adjustable racing rockers. Given the amount of road miles this car will do as well as track use I feel they're a sound choice and will help when it comes to maintenance. These are forged CNC milled part used in many ra...
