I've got the one that I bought in 1994 for my Dyna-Tech 755Ti on my (2008) Ridley carbon now. - the 755's now used as a work-bike -

Yep!! It's on re-release Not sure if it's been 'digitally remastered' or not though?? The band still makes me smile.. 'Marvin Berry & The Starlighters', & he puts a call through to his cousin Chuck........ :roll: (at least he didn't ask for a long distance call to 'Memphis Tennessee')

It can be mental stuff at times The last biggie I did was a round of the English National Championships around the Holme-Moss area (17 miles/4000 feet of climbing!!) This was the first big climb! :shock:

Go on!, is there any one else out there who's 'certifiably insane'? :wink:

That's nice!!! There's a Monte Carlo near me too, but I've only seen it park up once

Nothing around here either :( I really miss the 'Leeds Classic' :(

Wowee!! What a climb, the late great Fred Dibnah would have loved that one :D (even though it didn't have any masonry work in it) I think the figure '1700 feet' was mentioned, as he got to the (actual) antenna base, so it's not far off the height of the CN Tower in Toronto. And...

I actually saw the fabled 'Old Ned of Wakefield' on Monday morning :shock: I was driving past the end of his avenue, & saw his in his garden, so doubled back to say "Hello" His eyesight must be going, as he peered at the XKR, as though to think 'do I know anyone with one of those, or...

Blimey :shock: That's rare!! I seem to remember 'Practical Classics' stating that there were (I think?) less than 10 still on British roads (or was it the very similar Audi 80?)

Oh hiya oldboy!! Not seen you since the Cyclo-Cross in Thornes Park :D

Looks damned fine!! A friend of mine used to have a 'FRO' back in the early 90's He bought it new,with Acu-Trax forks. If I remember, & can place his bikes in chronological order, I believe he did a deal for the Marin 'Team Titanium' frame he had before hand? (or it may have been the...

Sorry to digress, but is that 'old fart' still going?? I used to ride about with him in the mid-90's, thought he was packed up in his rocking-chair by now :wink:

And not forgetting Vicoria Pendleton in the Vikki B-H role :D

Oh but it was Cameron Diaz (<drools continuously>) with some midget. She's still utterly gorgeous Iwonder if they still produce the 5.0 V10 diesel But it's still not a Range Rover is it? (by that I mean the real one. not the 'drug-dealer' Sport)

Oh believe me!!, that race hurt!! :D This climb, up Laddow Rocks, on the 'return leg' (we went as far down as 'Woodhead Pass'/A628, before turning back north) was just a bit scary

I'm somewhere in the middle of this bunch of lunatics :shock: (last Sunday; the 18th) I entered, & finished, the Holme Moss Fell-Race (17 miles/4000 feet of climbing)

Now that could be an interesting watch- have to remember it Plus, it seems that Robbie Coltranes, very excellent, 'B-Road Britain' is being repeated on one of the satellite/cable channels this week (sorry, can't remember which one)

AC Cobra 427 (just a bit quicker than my present XKR) Audi RS4 Avant (see a saloon at school most days, sounds bloody awesome) 'Eleanor' :D (the Nic Cage/Anjelina Jolie version) Range Rover TDV8 (but on 'proper' 19" tyres, not the stupid drug-dealer 22" rubber-bands) '68 Camaro SS...

Not sure who the fat bloke is, but would have thought that Patrick Stewart was 'above all of thet' When fattie has been in the business as long as 'P S'................. no wait!, I doubt he will be

it's okay, but like you, I guess??, I've got used to the power/acceleration & it feels slow at times :roll: I did fancy trying to find a VXR-8 to px it against, but SWMBO fancies a new shape XKR. an XFR, or an Aston-Martin V8 next year :D
