Hi Neil,

Pretty much what you might expect for March, grey and cold but should be dryish. Roads are cold, damp and salty though - tyres aren't warming up well.

Have a good flight back smile

mine made it off the battery tender and out of the garage today. didn't get beyond the drive though.

Keep the cups for the track. The ACR is a little tamer on PS2's, ride is noticeably softer and less lively, you may want to put the splitter fill piece in though as i noticed less turn in grip on the narrower fronts, the splitter fill piece took care of much of that. Either way the car isn't happy below 50mph but is really planted at 70+

Better get out there now thought, wet or not, snowing by Sunday apparently

I thought it looked rather nice around the Austin area? Got to be better roads too, sick to death of hitting pot holes in Surrey

will be after the hurricane,tornado,flash flood, softball size hail (delete as appropriate) comes raging through, if your lucky it may just be a bog standard super-cell thunder storm, but it will still wash the wet paint of your window. Texas is a nice place but nowhere is perfect.

The weather is pissing me off. I was on call last weeken so couldn't really enjoy it, although I did risk it and had the first ride of the year on the Gixer.

This week was like spring had arrived, I intended to service the ZR1 this weekend ready for the summer and now it's back to rain and now they're saying snow on Sunday frown. Arghhhhh
