What I did today. (MX5 and Motoring)

I shall be taking the 'Graphite' a short hop to Lotherton Hall in Leeds to look at lots of shiney 70's Japanese Motorcycles...

I may be some time!

Washed and 'hoovered' out the Graphite.....

So you know it's gonna rain tomorrow!!!...... :stomp:

Wasted £20 of V-power while trying out the new in-car camera .....

Always used to put the sat-nag in the same position too Dewi, it works well there to me....

Find it a lot more awkward with the 'Grapite' in it's centre location.

This morning ....I went to pick-up the latest of my e-bay purchases (Usb-turntable)....Pulled up to find a Z-4 in red outside, before i knew it the lady was almost sat in my drivers seat, and drooling over the Aqua-blue!

Called in at the petrol station again....(Another £30 of V-power)....Only to be accosted by an elderly chap who wanted to talk about his 'new' (20 year old Mx he'd just bought) and wondered what my colour was and was thinking he might get his re-sprayed!

The joy of the Mx!....

He didn't say....He was too busy looking at the 'graphite'.....And musing over how 'quick' his was!...But then he would climbing back into his Hyundai i10!.... :rofl:

And which side of 60 would that be?

The younger side Wrangler.....However I wouldn't mind being 60, I'd be retired & still have hair & teeth!... :rofl:

Fine piece of kit ya got there Steve.....

I bought a compressor a good few years back from a local Netto supermarket, and it is probably the most used thing I now have.

Gets used regular for 'blow-drying' the motorbike as well as checking tyres pressures etc...

Nice one Chris, great to get out for the day eh? :thumbsup:

Sadly this means I may be back at work on Monday!!..... :stomp:

Thx for the info Dewi....

Think I feel a re-lapse coming on!!..... :rofl:

Dewi should recognise the bridge....Usually viewed from below!

Is that Scammonden? Ruddy bleak up there, even in Summertime.

It is Roddy....Well spotted! :cold:

Most people just see the bridge from underneath......Shortly after I took the picture they closed the motorway as someone was threatening to throw themselves off the bridge (again)....

Mrs G took me to Weatherspoons for a large breakfast, (It's a long standing tradition)...We had a quick shop for some last minute items, then a 10 mile topless run home the long way as the sun was out.

Was going to look at a 'vehicle' but it's owner was too busy at work, so it'll save for after the festivities....(and tell you if I buy it).

Came home, stuffed the Turkey and now sat enjoying a beer with my mate Bud.Weiser .....

Jono said:

Don't be embarrassed by the type of 'vehicle', Garfey. I've already admitted my leanings in that direction. They're an understanding bunch on here...but break it gently to Steveti.

Sad thing is I'am ....But not as a replacement for the 'Graphite'.... (It's hardly a Bowler Wildcat!!)

No pound notes have changed hands yet!..... But I'm sure I'll be suitably villified if it does!!

Thanks for the 'Support' Jono....

Please feel free to stop me if I start posting about roll bars, bigger wheels /engine swaps.....

Either of Exodus, or watching a battery charge is more fun than dealing with insurance companies!

Which is what I've been doing all afternoon!....

Trying to sort some (cheapish) insurance for the Pajero so I can pick it up new years day.

Hoping A-plan can rescue me at the moment!

Finally sorted the insurance for the Pajero.....

Adian Flux...£328, Might sound a lot, but couldn't get anyone to take on the no-claims from the motorbike (and those that did wanted a fortune!).

So settled for a 'classic style policy', limited mileage 5,000....Excess £100, windscreen cover, and legal cover.

Phew....Need a lie-down now! :hot:
