  1. The que for Wroxham started before the railway bridge on A1151 the other sunny Sunday!
  2. A friend of mine has 3 originals, beautiful bikes. My bike gets so much attention, a lot of people ask what year it is... Thinking it’s 1970’s! People recall trips they had on originals in the 70’s & 80’s... People that have walked past my house for years and never spoke will stop and engage in conversation about the bike. Bikers are a friendly bunch.
  3. I can picture Rob on a BMW K1600 GTL touring the UK! I enjoyed your Trixie video yesterday btw, looks a lovely boat.
  4. Despite my Dad always having bikes I had absolutely no interest until last year when the appeal suddenly hit at the age of 32, so time for you yet Rob! I done my CBT, Theory, Mod 1, Mod 2 Tests and got my license in May 2018. Like you I do not do things by halves and I’m now on my 5th bike! A Kawasaki Z900RS. I really enjoy riding but also enjoy looking at the pros and cons etc of all the different biking kit - leathers, textiles, helmets, gloves, luggage etc.
  5. I’ve had 2 SLKs and would have another one tomorrow! The 350 is definitely a drivers car. My Auntie ordered a new 320 in 2000 and took delivery in June 2001, 18 years and 35k miles later she’s still got it. The first one I had was a 2003 2.3 Kompressor, it quickly became apparent it was a dog and hadn’t been looked after, everything was botched, but I still loved it! I like the view out of the windscreen on the older models, a long flat bonnet with 2 humps. The second one I had was the same as yours Robin, but blue with cream leather. When I first got the car I took it to Pro Shine in Norwich for the full works, it looked brand new after 2 days with them. I used to use Pflege Rubber Care on the seals etc, totally cherished that car! My girlfriend and dog enjoyed it too!
  6. Screwfix have Karcher K2’s for £58.33 at the moment
  7. Our coastline is disappearing at an alarming rate!
  8. I passed in a manual and had manual cars for 10 years but have had autos for the last 4 or 5 years and now prefer them. As Grendel said modern autos tend to be better on fuel than manuals. However I do prefer a manual in the snow, with a clutch pedal you just feel like you have abit more control.
  9. Robin your first post makes me laugh every time! Your description of a knackered Micra is very comical! I can picture it now!
  10. Weymouth webcam link - http://www.love-weymouth.co.uk/weymouth-harbour-webcam-watch-old-harbour-live/
  11. I have the MarineTraffic App, I’ve found Independence but it won’t allow me to add to fleet or follow? Ive also noticed it is shown as a different symbol to other boats? Any ideas anyone? Am I doing something wrong? I’ve added other boats no problem.
