Thanks to good ol Brexit (not) it seems that it would be almost impossibleContinue reading "By trailer, by road or…….UPDATED!!!!"
The plan……well some ideas anyway
2024 simply must be a good year and I am making some very sketchy plans in terms of what I should be doing with my fleet of vehicles this year cos I am spending tooooo much cash on insurance and stuff for some of my fleet that I am not really using enough to justifyContinue reading "The plan……well some ideas anyway"
My lovely Audi S4 is now up for sale sob…
I purchased my 2005 Audi S4 Avant in early 2020 just before the dreaded COVID hit Europe and closed down the world as we knew it. The car is a petrol engined V8 4200cc automatic and makes 350 horsepower which is then distributed to all four wheels via the amazing Quattro system. She was firstContinue reading "My lovely Audi S4 is now up for sale sob…"
Car repairs in the Amalfi coast area anyone??? This man is a true genius….
Since I was a kid I have always been scared of crashed or damaged cars or bikes. I thought that they were all death traps to be avoided at all costs mainly because I had never had anything to do with repairs of any kind except some very simple mechanical stuff. My first big mechanicalContinue reading "Car repairs in the Amalfi coast area anyone??? This man is a true genius…."
How to make lemon pasta Italian style anyone….

Motorcycle suspension, a black art becomes a little clearer perhaps???
I have owned and enjoyed motorcycles for more years than I care to mention and over those years I have owned and enjoyed perhaps 40 different road bikes, all Japanese Honda or Yamaha. I learned many years ago that the Japanese bikes suspension standard set up assumed a rider weight of 70 kilos (which IContinue reading "Motorcycle suspension, a black art becomes a little clearer perhaps???"
I just bought what??? ANOTHER motorbike??? Goodness….
Is your garage big enough?? HOW many bikes have you got now?? Surely this one is FAR too fast for you at your very advanced age? These and many far ruder comments have been heard from my mates as the news creeps out about my latest folly but I say what the heck, she isContinue reading "I just bought what??? ANOTHER motorbike??? Goodness…."
Our YART visit….WHAT an experience!!
As previously teased, Brian the Barnes and I visited the YART HQ in Austria last week. I had kind of invited myself when I chatted with Manfred Kainz in France during the Bol Dor 24 hour race in September and so the plan was hatched, as they say. Barnes was keen to visit too soContinue reading "Our YART visit….WHAT an experience!!"
