Engine and box in the bag

Yep - That was me filling up in Hungerford. Managed to burn through 3/4 of a tank yesterday. That VTEC is SOOOOOO MOREISH! Lots of nice motors about yesterday.

Really Tom ? Don't tell the wife that !! LOL

I travel a lot and I'm doing 500 miles a week now in a 3-series and you know who the worst drivers I see are? Categorically Insignia and Astra GTC drivers. After the Peugeot drivers that have all but given up on life that is. I actually don't even acknowledge 2nd lane hoggers any more and if you drive like you should (ie keep left and to the speed limit) you'll find, like I do, that you undertake more people than you overtake

New run added, 2nd April, Emley Moor, The Strines Inn, Carding Shed with added Cobra.

Might be a classic case of gummed up carbs - bikes have small float bowls so the fuel gums up quicker than on cars. I always drained my bike carbs before any Winter layup to try and avoid it. Are the plugs getting wet - try and place a removed plug near the plug hole - if its getting fuel it will ignite and blow the plug away from the hole - sounds dodgy, but is a good visual indicator that fuel and spark are working!

lol, better thanks, still needs a good geo setup though. Roll on alignment day at BTEC!

WHAT A DAY Left Inverness at 3:45am, arrived at the lads at 10:15. The second I spotted the car on the drive I feel in love with it. The bit I was worrying about was sitting in it, jamp in and even have a wee bit of room to play with, VERY comfy so was delighted. He took me a run in it and it has made me realise I have wasted so much money messing about with cars when I should of had one of these. The smell, handling, noise is immense. The induction sound off the carbs is mad. Car has EVERY receipt from when it was built, including the build manuals, photos of it just finished ect ect. So I bought it, loaded it up and made for home along with 4 13" wheels with NEW tyres, 4 13" tarmac tyres for trackdays and a massive box of spares, (brakes, pads, starter, alternator, bushes, wet weather cover ect ect Car doesn't idle well and also has a wee flat spot at 2500-2600 like a splutter, needs set up (we have a specialist quite local who I will get to set this up) Got back to Inverness at 5:45 tonight, unloaded it, insured it, taxed it then got the wife in it and went a wee 10minute run, then me and my mate went a run. What a bl**** buzz. Words cant describe how much fun it is. Well I need to go to bed now as off to Edinburgh for the Scotland game tomorrow then Aberdeen to fly to New York for my birthday. I'm "buzzing" hahaha like a big kid. LOVE IT
