It's gone manic here with work!

I got two sites on the go and this morning I was contacted by a very prestigious classic bike dealer in the UK.

What he's got is all screwed up and the twats can't sort it out......so he asked around for somebody who can actually do it properly and my name came up.

So I'm doing a Demo for him now as well.

Me too, but it's more convenient than the 2 day drive from here back to blighty. Fortunately most of our local airports are fairly small, so it's never too much of a problem,  but coming back from Stansted or Gatwick are usually a nightmare! 😂😂

Stanstead!...Will they ever finish building work in that place. 🤔

I flew from there plenty of times when it first opened and it was brilliant, because it was so quiet in there. I used to fly UK Air to Glasgow, Edinburgh or Aberdeen on a weekly basis, or even several times a week at times, and at that time you could park out the front of the terminal building, stroll in and be on the plane within the hour! Not so, now!

It has been a few years since we used air travel, would have to renew our passports, and I don't think it is really worth it.

Looks like Jersey or Guernsey is the furthest we could fly, but I hear its damn expensive there, so that rules that out.

What is limiting you on how far you could fly? I've not been to Jersey or Guernsey for a good many years now, so I don't know how prices there stack up these days.

I had a yellow 1300L. Wasn't long before I stuck a 2000cc engine and gearbox in on the 1300 axle. Used to get to a ton in no time but would go no more as it was out of revs.:classic_laugh:

I did a similar thing to my 1300 Escort van . I put engine from a Mk2 Cortina 1600GT in it.

Quick up to 85mph and then it ran out of puff 🙄
