Is it a 130 or 150 I can't see the lettering on my phone.

It's a 150

Your going to be so happy with that turbo :)

Nice one, wish I waited for a 150 now. Still haven't had my 130 mapped in yet it's been over a year now :D

Something tells me I'll not be pushing you round Combe this time round :( ;)

It won't be fitted in time for Combe unfortunately so you can still push me along :D

My 130 is mapped, but it's such a smooth "safe" map it has virtually no smoke. Everyone who sees it on track compliments me on how clean it runs

Sahara dust to blame for 'dirty rain' in Northern Ireland

_73879383_cecilia.jpgBy Cecilia DalyBBC News NI Weather Presenter

_73920290_dustycar.jpgThe dust on cars has travelled all the way from the Sahara desert

Was your car dirty when you woke up on Sunday morning? Blame the Sahara!

The term Sahara dust refers to the sand and dust from the desert that can be transported northwards in the air when the wind is in a certain direction.

It results in a fine layer of dust being dropped when it rains - what we call dirty rain - and it can undo the cleaning of the car from the day before.

The predominant wind direction for Northern Ireland is west or south-westerly and most of Northern Ireland's weather comes from the Atlantic.

_73920292_freight.jpgThe view out to sea from the Long Hole in Bangor was very hazy at the weekend

This means that air is travelling over a clean, unpolluted surface.

When the weather turns colder and the winds are in the north, there is also a relatively clean air mass.

So, the wind direction is the key to not only determining where our weather is coming from, but also the state of the air that we breathe.

You may have noticed how hazy it has become recently when you look towards the sea from the east coast - this haze pollution is trapped within the south-easterly airflow.

You might think Africa is a long way from Northern Ireland but Saharan dust travelled from Africa all the way to the south of Florida - about 5,000 miles - in the summer of 2012.

Last summer, a massive Saharan dust cloud covered part of the Atlantic.

The wind direction will continue to be in the east or southeast over the next few days; so expect some more "dirty rain".

Hey Adam, missed your post sorry.

Just time for a change. At the time I chose the hybrid pd130 I was doing close to 20k a year mainly motorway miles as I was in a long distance relationship, so didn't need all out grunt. Since the split I've had more time to myself and started track days etc so I can go for more power without risking the existing turbo

Shame it won't be on before Combe and i likely won't be going in September, so will have to make more of an effort to get to Prept or a midweek Kent meet. B)

Are you going to the mega meet? I'm sure I'll be there :)

Nope, too close to my holiday. :(

More importantly Mr Hero, how come your name hasn't cropped up on the 2014 How Fast day?  :wonder:
