Just got mine back from the workshop, ouch! New clutch etc, battery, suspension mods, service - 1723 euros. Promise me it's going to be a good holiday guys. First thing tomorrow morning I'm off for a shakedown blast down the Autobahn just in case, before I leave. Look forward to seeing you there. Have still not convinced my wife to come. I have one more night to test my powers of persuasion, which are reputedly pretty poor when it comes to women smile

Fab day 2 - Reims GP pits en route & then a 'spirited' blast through the French countryside.

All made it to the evening stop over without any incident.

Cheers from all in France.

So, we made thru rain and shine and learnt how many ways you can put beam deflectors on TVRs. Long day but good....10 or more Tiv's blasting thru France, locals admiring the loud Brits. How many sat navs can 2 people use to "not" find a hotel in Calais.....must go now - "biere local siv vous plait"
