Started driving my mums' Mk1 Golf 1100 and then bought my own 1.3 Ford Escort Mk3. It had a spoiler and spot lights and I was king of the road. Only cost about

Thanks for that.

Recorded delivery doesn't mean much apparently. If you send something to big organisation then they can sign for that mornings post with just one signature and your item may never show as being delivered. Apparently special delivery has to be signed for individually.

Do they come as complete kit then? My boy would love that

Got anywhere to run it? Electric is much less annoying to non-boaters and is less likely to get you kicked off your local lake, pond, whatever!

I see. Shall just have to Ebay it as a repairable I think

Styling reminds me a bit of Subaru's BRZ GT car. #!

No towbar I'm afraid and it costs a small fortune to have one fitted to our Voyager.

I'm looking at relocating from one side of the country to the other and tucked away on my drive is my old Impreza Turbo 2000 that I've had for years but is now not roadworthy. I kept it with the intention of sorting it out but never have and it's worth more to me than to someone else, or the scrapyard. So the question is, does anyone know if people transport non-roadworthy cars and how much it would likely be to move it 300 miles? If we're talking hundreds then it's probably not worth it! How she used to look.

There's an article by Richard Hammond in this months TG magazine about him buying an old KR1-S off the net and getting blown away by the all-or-nothing performance! He loves it, even though it's old and past it's prime. Nostalgia's a wonderful thing...............sometimes

Stan Stephens and Bob Farnham, that's two names I'd forgotten I was riding pillion on a mates 350LC and an XR3i ran up the back of it and ejected us up and across the road. Bike was knackered but we were fine. Turns out the car driver worked for my sister and she never let him forget it!

Looks like you had a lot fun there I did static line parachuting once from 3500ft and that was enough for me. I do believe that the plane I went up in crashed not long after with several fatalities!

Hell, I was 22 by then

Looks like these in the picture but I don't think their description is right. http://www.tantronic...-tam-min2p.html

I bet he was seriously nervous the first time he tried that

Sean, how about these!

RD350LC powervalve, now that was a torquey beast!

I met a banker at my mother-in-laws 80th at the Hurlingham Club in London last year. He was thick as s**t, drifted his way through private school and Cambridge Uni and only got the job because of who his family are. He only stays in the job because of who his family are and openly admitted he didn't know what he was doing. I'm not saying this is common but it's not very reassuring is it!

The AR80 was like a bicycle with an engine, it was that lightweight! Tyres were thin and the seat was low. I stopped in traffic, my mate on the back put his feet down to stretch his legs and I rode off and left him standing there. It was rather funny at the time I had a micron exhaust on mine so it did about 70 but the acceleration was bad. Put the original de-coked exhaust back on in the end. 2 friends of mine bought new TZR 125's at the same time in 1988 both with the powervalve option. One was run in by the book and the other was canned from day one and the abused one was much quicker. We checked everything to make sure there wasn't a problem and couldn't explain it. A mechanic told us that you need to bed the rings to the bore as fast as possible so after that we gave up running our bikes in and it seemed to work. Never blew one up that way!

Now you're showing your age

A friend of mine had the MC28 and it really was a brilliant bit of engineering but was limited to 40 HP. The full-power card really was only for the track so the lights and indicators wouldn't work and a new wiring harness had to be made or bought in from Japan. IIRC there was a similar spec RGV 250 import that needed similar mods to run full-power. I have had a lot of bikes over the years but the 2-strokes really do bring back fond memories as they were very involving in keeping them on the road and made such a great zing-zing sound. Let me think: KX80, MTX50, FS1E, AR80, MTX125, KMX125, RG250 Mk2, NSR250 and probably a few I've forgotten. The KMX was a brilliant bike, even got it clocked by the police at 90mph on the motorway, only got a bollocking cause they couldn't believe it went that fast Had a modified exhaust and the KIPS valves turned but that was it. Used it for trail riding and even managed to fill the gearbox with water on a river crossing and it just carried on!

Yes a TZR250 motor in an upright bike probably years before anyone had heard of the term Supermotard! I did have an NSR250 MC18 import for a few years which was fun but really wanted the MC21 as that was such a good looking 2-smoke. MC28 was really a race bike with programmable ignition and required a custom harness to run on the road with full power and lights.

I'm getting into the ammo business just in case he does become prime minister and carries out his threat. I'll be as rich as him

I always fancied a TDR250. Now they were supposed to be mental Still a few around on Ebay.

Looks like they jumped on it!
