    • I saw that. So you pay 50% more than the hammer price. Ouch. And as usual wrong end of the country for me. 
    • Buyers premium 25%!!  Thieves they are. And 20% VAT….     Bargains??
    • Hello, Thank you for that Colin. The tuning man and others,  has a somewhat similar train of thought . I had better start looking harder for another manifold to eliminate some questions. Regards, Michael.  
    • Had a good ragging today. Still ran on. Doesn’t have to be especially hot to do it.  Did burn epic amounts of oil to begin with, but has largely settled now. Plugs are pretty clean.   Idle speed is a bit high, which doesn’t help, though mostly it seems to run backwards, which at least means it’s limited on fuel to what has gone down the exhaust as it winds down….. Basically a nice car that needs quite alot of final detail sorting….. 
    • Well, yes….. but…… my observation is that cyclists have a different relationship with pain compared to lesser mortals  Anyway, I have no doubt he gave his all, but I strongly suspect that .471 is griping him a little. Maybe not as much as his tortured muscles at this point, but…. That’ll wear off.  That .471 may also provide temptation to others. How hard can it be?         (Well nigh impossible!!)
    • Set the valve up again 25mm drop, 15mm closed, now making nice 6 cylinder growling noises again.  RR
    • Buy a steel bench and get 4 vices thrown in.  Some good bargains on offer, if I was close I would be bidding. 
    • If anyone is looking for a dozen or so lathes at a reasonable price (or sundry other engineering items...) https://bidonline.ncmauctions.co.uk/auctions/8848/ncm-au10953  
    • Yes, my gt6 very occassioally runs on. 120000 ish miles, never gets   hot, hot, no smoke, plugs ok, no pinking. Does short runs locally, would benefit from a good run I think. Need to get the dragy out.
    • But last weekend  was the best! Daughter and Son-in-law are both sportspeople, past Internationals in Rugby and Hockey.  He still plays at County level at local Hockey club and No.1 Grandson is in their under twelves team (He's ten, nearly eleven).   And yesterday at the County Championships his team won!   The final went to a nil-all draw, five minutes of extra time and then a penalty shoot out!      Nails bitten to the elbow! Both their team and the team they bat will go on the Regional Championships in April, so more excitement to come! John
