... quite accurate. Both on the result and the amount who turned out if you factor those who didnt turn out as the people in the TS Poll as those who were "couldn't give a toss camp". It was a democratic vote and the result has been decided. For me I just hope as a nation, people and our ...

Re: In, out or shake it all about?

That's pretty funny all said and done. I still think the UK has a pretty good position overall in the EU. And I don't see that if it were to leave that the ill-effects would be as disastrous as the naysayers predict....they're merely pushing their own ideology, and I think that's fine....freedom ...

... this worries me that all the good spots will be designated "Fan Zones" or some such and they will charge to view from there , there were fan zones this year 3 or 4 I think but you only had to pay if you sat in the grandstands they had erected there , I fear they will charge for parking ...

My trusty old Alpinestars were finally laid to rest yesterday after several years of faithful service.

The P4's were on the 998's as well i think there pretty cheap second hand and are a good upgrade i did this on my 996. The motor sounds good and the 853 was plenty quick enough according to Neil.

... 58 torques. I would need to add a slipper clutch and might fit some Brembo P4 calipers as they can be bought fairly cheaply but i think theses were fitted to R models of that era so will give a bit more braking power.
