Great to see

I've been to Stamford Hall VW show today, I need another aircooled VW in my life.

I thought that was probably the case. Fine for a hire vehicle though.

It's a shocking engine, they eat injectors for fun too.

The aircraft industry has a fix, get the wood saw out.

Back yet?

Mine is an ebike but it’s only low assistance, a bit like having the wind behind you on a climb

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that. I don't have much natural padding but it did stop after the first week.

As it is now lighter in the evenings I've started riding to work a couple of days a week again. I've hardly used a bike over winter so fitness is down and waistline is up I'm hoping to rectify both but advancing years certainly slow gains down.

Four new spherical bush/bearings fitted to the rear of the Mazda this morning and we now have silent suspension again

I'd forgotten what fun removing and fitting bushes and then lining up all the various under tension suspension components was

Chris Harris has 4 SXW on his yellow Touring. Any one have any guesses what that is supposed to represent?

Plates with an X in tend to be a bit cheaper. I've got 2 TRX and I think I paid less than £1500 for it although that was years ago.

Zed, is that you?

That’s a blast from the past, anyone still in contact with him?

It goes without saying (don’t know, travelling the opposite way to me on the motorway).

Yes the latest ND 184. The repairs aren't too expensive if you can do them yourself. Mazda insist on fitting a complete dash cluster for some reason even though the screen is available separately for less than £200, the bushes are £325.

New dash cluster fitted to the mx5 today after the screen displaying the engine info failed. The mileage must be stored in the cluster as it had one mile on the new clocks when I collected it. The repair is recorded in the service history but I may look into having the mileage "corrected"....
