Sprayed the spi tank with a clear coat. It's drying outside*happy*

there is nothing wrong with a A-series that a turbo can't fix.

Glad we inspired you mate! Nice picture sir, looks like you had nice weather, Nic and myself might be sorting out a TM trip later on, so watch this space.

What did i do, well OMG i'm all shaken up from having top fuel (7000-8000 bhp) car runing past me at over 100 mph only about 2 meters from my lense.

Isle of Man

got very ratted on thurs night, and went hungover mountain boarding on friday morning, got a bit battered bruised

took a good snap of the open classic overlooking Port Erin though:



then managed to open the drivers door into a big rock that night in the dark, damage isnt too bad, but the whole street heard my swearing!!

Spent all sat on my bike doing a few laps of the TT course

then sunday went to watch a stubble field race, of course we took the long route and manages to fit in another lap of the TT, weather was terrific!

helped the rents take a load of crap to the tip int he transit this morning, then pisses about doing little jobs on my boat this arvo

Hope this weather stays!

Started lightening my car car trailer by drilling shit loads of holes in the bed, what a fucking pain in the arse job! and finally rigged up some working brakes for it, which was nice.

ETA!

Went and had a look at a '63 mini for sale on ebay that was fairly local, and had a guided tour of the farm, that was FULL of cars, 'about 400'.

went up to Knoydart, a peninsula off the west coast of Scotland for a bit of hill walking and biking with a group of friends. Good food and plenty of beer.

Me and the lady went upto the Isle of Skye for a long Ester weekend!! Apart from the car throwing the tyre off on the motorway, the 1400 miles we done were perfect running and a dream!! And all those miles we saw not a single mini!! Hers is a standard 998 and i loved all those windy roads from Glasgow to Skye, and we even got a tan!!
