    Brakes - a quick question

    Hi guys I took delivery of my Brembo brake discs here in sunny Oz today - superb given they only left the UK at 1410hrs on Monday afternoon! Cost over here? $3,400, to me delivered for $1150 (and that includes 230GBP for postage as they do weigh a bit!!) so great kudos once again for the SM...

    Oil seep

    Hi guys My 4200 still never ceases to delight and I'm loving every day driving it but about 3 weeks ago, I noticed a small section of the front part of the engine looking a bit 'grubby/oily' so cleaned it all up and all was well again. When I checked again today you can just make out a...
