Re: Boxer to Boxster
Hi Taz already owned previously the first one to save them the 924S fantastic car that handled really well but prices going nowhere and it was at the stage of needed more regular use than I can give it. Paul, I hear what you are saying this one has really low mileage so I am hoping it will last unti...

Boxer to Boxster
So I will continue to drop in here now and again but over the Christmas holidays I will part ex my BCR for a car. Finally found a dealer who would offer me a sensible price: one exchange offered me £1500! And a West Country bike dealer who already has one up at over 7 grand offered me £2500 straight...

Re: NC500 route
Nothing to do with the actual post sorry but I notice the same thing in Switzerland; passes in 'the season' are chockablock. When I had the Subaru always went first thing after they open and have also been about now before they get snowed in. I can imaging how bad N500 could get in high season. My m...

Re: Carbon lid
Hi Paul, must admit I did not look at the model type or number the sales assistant just handed it to me as an example of the inner sun visor type of helmet. It was a fixed not a flip front. I have tried flip fronts in the past and have never got on with them always found them out of balance as it we...

Carbon lid
I was mooching around in a well known bike clothing store and came across a Shark carbon fibre crash helmet. I have been thinking of one with a drop down inner sun visor for a while as riding through the longer Swiss tunnels with the shades on all the time is a little bit 'off'. I have a physically ...

Stale fuel
So the bike that will not sell (not for any real money anyhow) has not been ridden since 2012 and is on a SORN. Tried to start it and it turns over but will not fire up. I suspect, like I state in the subject line, the fuel has "gorn orf guv" So the question is can I just fuel up to get th...

Re: Tracker
Never used one but there have been ads for some years now for a tracker the size of one of those large flat batteries used in some remotes etc. Stick it somewhere safe on the bike and link it to your phone no company involved. If the police are not interested just take a couple of big mates round to...

Re: Petrol & diesel engine ban
For me the give away is 2040. Current gov just reneged on free school breakfasts outlined in the last manifesto how many other election promises have gone the same way in my lifetime? Plenty of time & gov changes to kick this into the long grass too.

Re: It's a boxer
Hi Mitch1100 yes so unique they could not be bothered to rename it from its development name SVX!! I believe it was the 10th Special Vehicle :) At the time the equivalent Porsche was the 964 '911' and the Carrera 4 the nearest equivalent to mine was only up 16bgp apparently; and mine can seat 4 in c...

Re: Green madness
The Duke of Welling :drunken: ton apparently stood up in Parliament in opposite to the turnpike trust motion and one phrase that stood out was 'how will we control the population' or similar words to the same effect. Even back then we were suposed to 'know our place' so it is today cameras everywher...
