    The manifolds are Zircotec coated but I wanted the end cans doing in black.



    Also fitting an EWP at the moment too.

    Leigh, you don't have to be in a Strat to attend these do's, y'know! Haven't you got an interesting Aston Martin V8? Or come on one of your bikes, if you think you're hard enuff

    But I have got a Stratos and it would be good to attend in it!

    I have a V8 Vantage not sure how 'interesting' it is tbh.

    We don't mind if you come in your Strat without any silencers on, but can't say what the locals might think
    All I'm saying is, if you fancy the day out, just come along. Be good to see ya!

    Yep would definitely be good to see you and I reckon any AM V8 is interesting enough or any car/bike for that matter We’ll all be driving round on Duracell power soon enough.

    Well the chances of me coming on the Vantage have just died a death.

    Took it for a service and MOT yesterday. Wasn't expecting any issues. However.....they found that one of the front springs has snapped, right at the base. No signs whilst driving, no noises, tracked straight etc.

    They want ?700 for a spring!! But it got better. I pointed out tht my car had the 'sports pack' suspension fitted as a later upgrade. 'Ah well you see sit with those you can't get the spring on it's own you need to buy the whole damper - that will be just over ?1500 please!

    Really we should do the paid but seeing that the car is such low miles (the suspension has only been on it for 17k) they reckon I'll get away with just doing one.

    So with the ?700 service, the MOT and the new shock I'm in for a hell of a bill when I collect it next Wed.

    All set for Sunday.
    Current forecast looks dry if a bit cool for Sunday. Hoping this kickstarts a series of wider meets. Looking forward to a gathering. Hopefully I can double my cars pathetic 1700 miles ( since registering Oct 2021) this year.
