A pleasure to catch up with you the other day Phil,the Honda (UK) overalls looked very clinical though.

The man in the white coat sitting with you must have looked odd to the others.

On another note, why the dickens do some people really struggle to jack a 75 up without buckling the sill?? Really, really annoying. Just noticed jacking damage on mine. I think trolley jacks should be used with a licence.

That's a really nice looking motor that Phil, it's surprising how quiet the deezle is once you're on the move

Yes, its very quiet on the move. Just stationary. I don't mind the noise. I wish I could hear the turbo though!

You must be driving like a little old lady

I would have said an old man but have you seen the speed James.uk drives at?

Well well, I'm one classic short now since I sold the Marina TC. Can't believe how quickly and easily it sold - three days! The money is already invested in a Stiga estate 17 HST (JFGI) but I can feel another classic coming on sooner or later. For the time being I'm considering various Citroëns. A 1974 GS Break, a 1985 BX 19 GT (with on-board computer!!) or a 1994 XM V6 Break with _all_ the toys. Strangely enough, all three cost about the same but the XM is the only one that is on the road.
