I'd suggest having a word with Dave Millam. Frank and Dave know each other well. Contacting She Devil Racing As his web site says he is in Crowborough, West Sussex. This is a first hand recommendation as he is building my big block engine. :)

There is a tv series over here called grumpy old men (now one for grumpy old women too). Many of those things are on it. When I was younger I always thought it was just the old gits moaning, but now I'm a bit older I realise its actually the old gits just talking common sense. I think that's...

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

David, note I said an inch of the throttle end stop :D Only the modern stuff gets ridden hard. Riding the olduns is a challenge, as the veteran stuff doesn't even have a twist grip, they have a pair of levers - one for air and one for mixture. The oldest is direct drive off the crank too, so no...

oh dear, I always knew I had a split personality. So which coloured collar should I wear, with bike ranging in age from 1908 to 2008, made in England / Spain / Italy / Japan, generally all ridden to within an inch of their throttle stops, whilst wearing jacket / gloves / boots / high vis...

Re: Gt40 party party party Howard, shame it wasn't the weekend before, I'm in Cali from 10th and fly home on the 26th :( Actually, weekend before wouldn't help as its the wifes birthday, and I'm sure I'd get shot if I suggested we went to a car meet on it :D Shame, but I hope you all have a...

I have had several Ducatis, and still have an ST4S. Its the same engine / suspension / brakes as a 996, but has a more relaxed position & comfy seat. I Spent 3 days last week rocketing around wales on it with a bunch of guys, scaring the locals :D My daily rider is an R1. It can be...

Paul, cracking first hand write up. I've seen and heard one, but never had the opportunity to ride one. So how did you get to Box hill - A272 / A29 / A24, or the smaller roads ?? ;) I'm just off the A281, so know the area well :) The burning question is, how much did he make on the bike...

Hi Crash, just catching up on posts after a few days away. Keith clearly did not hear about this last year, hence the title of this thread. My comment regarding sprouting rubbish relates to your first post, which clearly states you do not know its validity. I have tried to indicate it is...

Crash, I said a client, not me. I have nothing to gain as my involvement with them is satellite based imaging and communications. My point reardless of your opinion is valid, all the facts are out there. Its old news, so lets move on. I declared that my company provides services for them, as...

Mark, that is a bit of a tenuous link. You will note from your attached post that the missing data from the flight recorder occured whilst in the possession of the CAA, and NOT Airbus. Airbus have not withheld information, and the pilot was prosecuted as a result. Details can be found if you...

not true. I recently brought a Dell, and yes it does come with Vista as standard, but you can get it with XP too. In short, it comes with Vista on disk, but with XP SP2 installed. I would strongly suggest you have a look at one of these Ian. From my Invoice: This cost me £335.27 +...

If it helps, there are two gaskets used for the windage tray on my side oiler.

Nice find Doc, well done. ! look at this link: http://allthingscobra.tripod.com/not_forgotten.html It says they were known as 'king' cobras, with only 26 made. Lucky bugger ;)

Hi Ediii, I think it is the D2 (99 -02 ?) and its follow-on. The 2.7t was offered in the A6 range in manual 2wd, and I believe the A8 too (not the S8 though - different engine & trans). I have no idea of parts numbers though. I have a copy of ETKA (the electronic parts catalog) which I know...

Interesting that the CAV made more money than the SPF. What stuns me is the price of some of the other cars. 356 Roadster $170k Shelby GT350 $247k5 Shelby 289 Cobra $605k Shelby 427 Cobra $775k Ferrari F40 $753k5 even with the GBP to USD rate the way it is at present, I see these as...

ediii, The B5 RS4 made 380bhp standard, but with a chip plus a 100 cell cat or pre cat removal, and new exhaust will make 460bhp. To get above this needs turbo changes and engine mods, both of which affect reliability. An S4 can be made to get close on these figures with a set of K04s and the...

Superb. I bet those bikers got a surprise ! :)

Thanks chaps. I think I'll bring the schuberths, and print off a few USA adverts for them to show they are sold in the usa. This web site is in CA and confirms they meet or exceed DOT, so it should do the trick: Schuberth C2 Helmet Many thanks for your replies.

no, that is not correct Jono. Some places like Germany & Switzerland have differing (much stricter) regs. For example, you cannot fit any aftermarket parts (wheels, exhausts, etc) to cars in Germany & Switzerland unless they are approved and TuV tested, and this applies to imported pre-reg'd...
