  1. Feeling tired today. Up at 3am yesterday and went to Wigan to collect a 3ltr engine and manual gearbox for the mates Capri. His car started life as a 30ltr auto Ghia. Last owner swopped engine and box for a 2.8 auto out of a Granada. We've now got everything we need to make it a 3ltr manual. Chap we got the parts from has this in his garage amongst other things. Today I will be mostly knock out an old brick fireplace, resting and heading for the pub.
  2. Gonna have to change the oil a lot if you're depositing clutchs in it.
  3. Just guessing. Running in oil's not so slippery to allow the engine to bed in. I shouldn't think it'd allow the clutch to wear faster but you never know. If you had that little play at the lever then it should be fine.
  4. There's a couple of sportsters near me, one belonging to my brother in law. They're good on the twisty roads.
  5. Yes it's good on twists to but it's done over 500 in a day and I'd only really need a better seat to make it more comfortable. I get a numb arse on anything. I get your point though, maybe as bike sales have plummeted touring bikes have suffered more.
  6. I guess it's possible the cable was adjusted wrong but would think you'd notice it sliding with your experience. I also wonder as it's a road going model whether its not as good a clutch as the off road.
  7. Called progress. Sports touring sounds faster. My Tracer gt is amongst the Yamaha sports touring range and does it well.
  8. Bummer with the clutch but I guess it wasn't expecting that ride at the beginning of it's life.
  9. Looks more like he's had a tantrum
  10. Know what you're saying but we're all different. I'm really not sure more backbone would help him because she's just an angry nutter. My Andrew is a softie and always has been but I'm a "you made your bed type". He hasn't asked my advise because he knows he'd get something very much like what you'd say I'm sure. If I opened my mouth and it stopped our access in some way it would destroy Mandi and the son.
  11. That's just wrong. I guess I'll have to think we're lucky and keep my gob shut as we have plenty of access to ours.
  12. Got talked into picking up a bed for my grand daughter yesterday. It was only a few blocks away so no big deal. What did get up my noise was the earache the mother of said grand child was giving my son to get it put together in a room already filled with another bed and untold books and stuff you'd find in a 2 1/2 year old bedroom, and yes she didn't think I could hear her. So I stayed and helped him get it all sorted. I know she's trouble being a red head but that'll stick with me for a good while, nasty bitch.
  13. Dylan would be so much better if he left the harmonica at home. Also the use of music in films really does give you a second chance at something long forgotten.
  14. Talking to a find yesterday who's looking out for a house locally for a family coming back from Spain. She said there's lots a expats trying to get back here.
  15. That's a big lump of the fosse way I never got to do although maybe the TDM could of managed it.
  16. Don't think I've seen that one, she was a good looking woman.
  17. Going back through some of this and can't believe I'm the only one who liked this.
