Not really, had to take a big paycut to keep in employment so funds for this are tighter than ever + I'm taking the Mrs to France for a week. Probably no mods this year and just a couple of Trackdays and a few Auto Solos.

Got it running and took it for a blast. Looks like one of my coolant hoses has perished over winter as it's cracked and weeping. Other than that there's a slight blow from the exhaust and the brakes need bedding in properly it seems ok!

Good news, that doesn't seem too bad for 4 months of inactivity.

Nice to hear it sits well in bad weather... is it covered when not in use.......

Shame you won't be able to use it much this year.  :sad:

Covered? :grin:

It sits on the side of the road outside our flat with zero protection, hence the moss that has taken root in my polycarb windows! :grin:

Problem is it'll flap in the wind and scratch the poop out of the Polycarb windows. Ideally it needs to be dry stored over winter. I just don't have the money to do it. Cheap council garages round my I can afford but cars get lifted out of them all the time.

You would think wouldn't you. Problem is the pikey's like to set fire to the garages they can't break into. It is honestly safer parked on the street where everyone can see it.
