Gaday,
Just thought I would share some motorvation I received the other day.Last Sept. the FC went down for its certification plate & due to major braking problems it failed.(elsewhere under Anyone else own a possessed FC? I think)Anyway after all the work & meeting  many deadlines along the way it all proved too much,& I decided i needed a break, so for the last 6 or so monthstheres been no work on it,no working till 9:30 every night in the shed, no spending every weekend hour on it,just a drive round the block every now & then.
I've got a lot of other things done like remembering my wife & sons names again & some landscaping & stuff.  The other day I decided I better take it for a run to keep the tyres round. I fired it up (which is a fair amount of motovation in itself) & took it for a squirt down the road, reached my turn around point, chucked a euie(is that how you spell it?).Decided to give it a bit of a "squeeze"up the big deserted straight & ended up sideways holding it on opposite lock up the road(no the road wasnt wet)we wont go into the following few seconds for law-abiding reasons,but needless to say I got a huge adrenalin rush followed by the "shaky legs"(its been a while). Anyone who saw me for the rest of the day must of thought "whats that idiot grinning about!".  I know it may not be available to everyone but I highly recomend the motovational benefits of a few gee-gee's!!!!!!!!!!!    Grin    Daz.l

I know what you mean, I was down on my FE because although the motor was running it was a rough as guts. Scott (collecta) came over for a look and gave the motor a tweak or two and she is running as sweet as honey. A few things to tidy up underneath and I will be getting a temporary permit to drive her out for a wheel align and proper exhaust.

PS spelling of "u"ey depends on which side of the Tasman you come from  Grin
