I said to myself I wouldn't spend loads this month... well that didn't work haha and all because of a few road related issues.
I hit a creater in the road the other week and it looks like is busted the spring (thanks for the help with that guys) so the moto builds where brought since the others looked tired as well, hitting the creater also fudged the old exhaust so I have had to get one as well rather than waiting.. won a brand new full scorpion system for £185 and Neil (Enright) the legend has said he will collect it because the seller is being a mere on times for the courier.. you have to love the people on this site :group: Then I can get it collected from him.
Along with a few other bits I have spent loads and I'm watching a set of black rims as well haha
Nice to see the insurance is lower this time round though... Sky just done me a good deal £575 fully comp with 4 years ncb and they let me have the lowering springs and exhaust for free :trampoline:

Seriously though sounds like it worked out well for you, clouds an silver linings etc lol. Those new bits should make a great difference when they are on:)

I think, if I read the other thread correctly, he's waiting to see how everyone else finds them first - after a year or so...

Not a bad Idea getting everyone else to be guinea pigs first ;) lol

Fair enough :) Motobuilds give a decent enough drop and will be less maintainance. They are stiffer too from my experience.

hope you have a ZS wedding car!!!

Actually trying to decide what to have...

Wolseley 16/60 in dark Blue

1938 Wolseley 12 in black

Have been offered an ex-UDR LandRover 110 complete with armour plate, "bomb flaps", sirens and blue lights... Not quite the romantic thing though...

Could borrow a Mk2 Escort RS200 Mexico from her brother-in-law

Could get a lime green Focus RS

Or could have both a TB ZR and Black ZS?

The main issue is that they'd need a 350 mile round trip to get to the venue and have no way of moving on a trailer... And I can't bring them back up until after the honeymoon!
*Sorry for the thread hi-jack!

Take the Mexico and go for a good thrash between the church/registry and the reception (or even slip in a mini track evening)

I want to survive my wedding!

As it is, the ZS is scary for her in corners, never mind if she's looking down the road going sideways!
