Silver for me but don't hate the carbon. Surely getting them sprayed couldn't cost much?

Thanks everyone. Hes doing good and seems to be getting better every hour back to playing and beating daddy at scalextric

Why are they so chuffing expensive? They can't cost much to make.

Was looking at getting some spares for the HJC but not at those prices.

Overall, I'd say they're the best tyre I've ever had. I am getting on for 6000miles on them now, which has far exceeded any of my others, Pirelli Angel ST included. They are faultless in the wet, yet still extremely capable in the dry. Not done a track ...

How are you getting on with these? I might try them when I need a new set in autumn.

Probably the best and most comfortable boot on the market imo. If these fitted me I'd have them in a heartbeat for that price. GLWS. Someone will be getting a bargain!

... Seems the replacement activity is buying the kids new school shoes (dull) Nothing planned for Sunday, might take the kids out. Looking forward to getting back to work on Monday for a rest.

Not to belabour it...but yes...total lack of emotion on my part, if that's what you mean??

You start getting emotional, you start making mistakes.....'clinical' is the term that comes to mind.... and the job is still the same no matter what.

Perils of dating nurses, I guess....

WTF does that even mean? NZ wasn't a convict colony if that is what you are getting at.

Hmmmm....a quick check proves you are right. I apologise.

Don't shiv me, bro!!

Chicken madras, lime pickle and rice.

Oh and a big fat G&T as a reward for getting through the day I've had without losing it.

... tyres on and engine sliders I just wouldn't be bothered about decking out the cylinders. The tyres have stacks of grip so just hang off when your getting a shake on. Your knee will then go down first and give a early warning of any potential cylinders decking out. But even if they do, they have ...

This seems to be getting worse. I can usually make better progress in lane 1 on a motorway.

Hmmm, Mike reckons it would take him a day and a half to swap the gearboxs and do the engine swap. That seems a lot to me.

By the time I've bought the engine, had it shipped to Mike and had the work done it's getting close to £2k.

Time to cut my losses I reckon.

... the engine is mint. I'm not technically minded enough to know if that's put the engine at risk or if it's just a case of swapping gearboxes and getting on with it.
