My pet hate too - no lights, no reflectors, no brain!!! Usually we see them at work after they've been 'scraped up with a shovel'

I got the 'All Clear' on Saturday afternoon, & they had suitable lenses in stock, but glasses will take 2 - 3 weeks to arrive (due to frame; Oakley! & prescription I did manage to run the 'PECO' XC on Sunday, but suffered badly, after a week 'off the feet' :roll: Couldn't see properly to...

Sorry folks, I think I'd put this in the wrong forum ('Yorkshire Area Groups'), perhaps it was better in the 'Rides & Races' Sadly, the event is tomorrow now :oops: Still, one or two of you may fancy it, if only to watch As suggested by me at the end of This thread, how does anyone...

S'nice! As for the noise, before buying the XKR (had it 2 years + now!!), we looked at a RS4, & the noise from the V8 in that installation was superb :D

It's probably mentioned already, but I've not looked at pages 3-5... Dan, as in 'Daniel the Spaniel' I know someone with a Cocker Spaniel called 'Yushi-Ted', great for when he's run off in the park - doesn't half make all the chavs think he's calling them :wink: Perfect :D

Aren't you forgetting the truely wonderful 101FC They're great fun to drive, both on & off the road (even if the gear-change is awkwardly placed behind your left shoulder) And, with that V8, they sound wonderful & go like stink (for what they are)...

Re: Fastest decent. Blimey!!, that's going some!, especially when you take into account that sharp left corner. I've been down that a few times myself over the years, & up it too. Scary, when there's a strong wind blowing The northern (Holmbridge) side is a nice descent too, so long as you're...
