You're not gonna need a bigger boat.
Looks good - now you've got started you'll need to work hard to fill that with all your offspring.

By "offspring" do you mean "pay-per-view boat whores"?

I now need to work out how to kill the rear ones to get those swapped too. I have a trackday booked for Rockingham next month. And I'd obviously definitely no way whatsoever in a million years at all take a lease car on track.
I've got a pass for 17th Nov. ok if I join you and the northloop lot? Will give me an excuse to buy that decent brake fluid that's been on my amazon wishlist for a while.

I'll have to try me a set of these PS4s, sounds like I'm missing out
Being pedantic but PS4
Ss. The normal PS4s are not as good.
This is key - quite a difference between the two by all accounts.
Good to know chaps. That said I suspect this car won't get new boots in my ownership, the last set lasted two years.. Next car though..

Got to go with your gut eh, it just didn't feel right letting it go and being boatless like a bloody POOR. This sits with me just fine now.
The part that really sits well with me is I got 5k for the CBR600RR - I hate turning possessions into cash as it just feels hollow, so only 1k on top to put into the boat to make it mine, albeit by using a rather odd form of maths.
(I bought my mate out for 6k, not 5k - brainfart earlier trying to convert into GBP
)

Yeah of course mate, the more the merrier. Think there's 40ish of us.

Don’t need a lake to enjoy a good motorboat session.

We all know what JL means now when he tells us he's running low on fluids following a prolonged motorboat session.

Yep - totally get all that - plus it’s a boat you know, engines you know etc...
No brainier with the cash to spend really

The trailer has brakes, doesn’t it ?? I can see it doesn’t have normal (European style) overrun brakes.

It has no brakes
After a year or two of being dunked in the sea, it often doesn't have axles - twice now we've had the leaf springs just rust through and one of the lackeys has to go into the sea to retrieve a runaway axle. For reals.

Fuck! I thought, there’s no way he launches it with that trailer! Must use a crane or something....

We used to launch it like that all the time, it was a doddle. Now it's in a marina and they use a tractor but back in the day I used the LC most weekends to chuck it in and drag it out.
Say 4 tonnes of weight on the back and a slippery launch ramp - 4 Low and you'd still need to change up into 2nd after the first few metres
The ole Toyota got a big set of nuts
