Cleaned front and rear screens and side windows on the car with wire wool. Lovely to see through now.

I had a 600 watt solar panel system fitted to the roof of the boat.
I am currently making ice from the power of the sun!
Some say...

Took the cage out for a drive, as its the only fun I get at the moment as a "petrol head"... its definitely feeling a bit ill what with the exhaust being somewhat unattached...

I thought the hole had just gotten bigger, turns out the problem was slightly more severe than I had first thought...

(You can see the original hole in the top right)

110 miles round trip on the XJ600 to meet a 'friend?' at a cafe between Shifnal and Kinver. Due to meet at 11-30am. I arrived at 11am, waited until 12-15pm, still no show. He only lives about 12 miles from the cafe but don't have his address.. Sent him a 'pissed off' email when I got back. No reply.

Modified an FZS600 hugger to fit the FJ1200 as it would appear that no-one makes one for the FJ.

Damn bloody t'interweb on my phone keeps jamming up!

And yep, it's a 01 model plated as an 02 with 20k in it. Absolutely immaculate!

Me too. I had a 98 for nearly 7 years and missed it when I sold her. This one's a keeper.
