As we used to say in my amateur bicycle racing days - "If it works, don't mend it!!"

After what youve been through Robin lately, that one line made me chuckle!  :wink:

:laugh: - Yeah, when it stops working, that is definitely the time to mend it!!

It could have been a lot worse - Worse things happen at sea!

Robin, we keep hearing little snippets about your past on this and the other forum!!....I am becoming very intrigued! Any plans to do an autobio?! Sounds like you have had a very interesting time during the years!! :) :)

Funny, but recently a friend said the same thing. I might not be afraid to stand on a darkened stage under a spotlight in front of (very small) crowds, but I don't feel worthy of a bio. Besides, some of the more interesting stories I could tell might have some very serious repurcussions indeed!! And I mean at national level! The red top press could have (yet another) field day. Perhaps I should write something with a proviso that it's not published until after I'm gone.

Btw, I'm still having an interesting time occasionally - Life ain't over just yet.

Currently running Stage 1 Revo with a Forge DV... time to move on  :evil: :evil:  The following is scheduled for Wednesday:

   Full Milltek System (Resonated Cat Back) with torque arm insert
   EVOMS Cold Air Intake (dropped the Carbonio)
   APR Fuel Pump
   Bilstein PSS9/B16 Coilovers adjusted to 20mm drop or thereabouts
   Eibach Front and Rear Anti Roll Bars
   Whiteline Anti Lift Kit
   Stage 2 Revo with RR before and after

   Plus Powerflex bushes and an aftermarket engine cover next week - as the EVOMs CAI kit means I have to take the engine cover off

I have to wait for anything else like brakes (will have to drive gingerly  :grin: :grin:)  as the cost is mounting.  Probably get brakes and Quaife LSD done early next year in February.

Yes although that was because I might have a long term job in the Middle East, but I just thought, 'sod it, I'll get it done'.  I always planned to Revo the car and put a few things in but not as much as I am doing....  but as RR says, its a slippery slope and I have fallen off the edge  :kiss: :kiss:
