Bit of a gay question, but what is that seat out of?

YAY!  First drive tonight and it's sweeeet.

Matt Beavis was around and came out for the ride.  He did gab a quick snap of it pulled up, with the exhaust wrap smoking like mad.

The only snag so far was the accelerator cable not being properly seated and coming out of the hole in the bulkhead, trapping the engine at about 2k RPM.

It needs timing up properly (mid-week, I think) and then the electrical connections sorted on the gearbox (these control the freewheel on the back diff).

Look promising for Saturday at Castle Combe  :cool:.

Picture from Matt:



I am being gassed by the exhaust heat wrap in this photo, while I try to sort out the accelerator cable.

That would imply I attach some importance to how my bumpers look.

Kiwi shoe polish ain't gonna make it any faster, is it?

H'mmmmmm, just looking into tyres and thinking probably Toyo T1-Rs for Germany and fun.  I'd be interested to hear any views on these, or alternatives.....
