Morning all
A drive out to Bristol this morning for a meeting and have stopped at Fowlers motorcycles as someone recommended the cafe and I am a sucker for an all day breakfast.

I have never seen quite so many motorcycles and associated accessories in one place - this place is huge!

It will be a long day and my last meeting is early evening so won’t get back till late - must remember to pay attention to the various temp speed restrictions on the M’way as I drive home ;)

Hump day and it's a wet one here.
Kitchen being delivered today so got an area ready to store it in the workshop hopefully it will be fitted with in the next couple of weeks.
Arguments on going over the new French windows but they will not be any use when 7cm of insulation gets put on the floor.
Living the Dream :)

Morning, all...road tested QPV yesterday late afternoon and inspection today. If all goes well, may come home with me tonight. Otherwise, another long day in the salt mines. Last thing ended at 8p yesterday and first is at 7:30a. Selah.

Wanted it. Everything checked out. Then the consigning dealer told me they wanted to hold my cheque (and the car) for ten days because it was drawn on Navy Federal Credit Union and there's no local branch...and despite Charlotte being nowhere near a naval base, they have "had problems" with the bank. So, they kept their car.

Now back on the hunt.

But it did crystallize for me that I would prefer a QP in the stable to the Spyder. So will also prep that for sale.

And also home sick from work. But working anyway. Fever last night...some sort of recurring thing. Yay.

Gah, shite, man!

Good luck, then, with all woes and activities (especially where the two coincide).

I was floored. And it was a Sport GT (not S) with the carbon fiber, DuoSelect, and one-owner. Blech.

Thanks...still a little feverish so outlook for tomorrow is much like today.

Good morning everyone and got a lot done yesterday.
The kitchen and appliances arrived and now in my workshop.
New windscreen in Ms French's 500 and the glass guys appreciated it being in the workshop in the dry and that they could get their van in too.
A nice couple of Petrolheads who enjoyed my facilities.
Today I'm having an easy one.
Enjoy your day all.
