Haven't been on here for sometime - spent a month and a half touring Europe on my SuperBlackbird which was a great laugh......epsecially the Pyrenees........talk about twisites!.........Jesus! anyways thought I'd give you an update on the motor.............and show you my new toy..............

Covered 9600miles since May in the black Octavia vRS........well pleased with it, it's definately getting quicker and I can't wait to see how it goes after it's first service............girlfriend keeps pinching it though and leaving me to drive her new Toyota Celica...............which ain't a bad motor actually, built like **** though.............she mullered my front left alloy by running it into a kerb.............typical...........anyone know a good place down South that refurbs alloy wheels?

Anyway - here's my new toy..............this baby runs sub 10 second standing quarters. 190bhp - 208kg...........nice. Will change the exhaust system and rip out the air filtration system and she should crack 200mph next month..............

Catch y'all sometime soon.......................Samster

There are a couple of alloy wheel restorers, http://www.wickedwheels.co.uk being one of them.

Nice motor btw.

Cheers Quinten - they look like a slick outfit..........I'll give them a call. If I use them I'll post a before / after pic with the cost..............enjoy the bank holiday..................Samster

Nice Bike. I have just sold mine, it was a ZX9R Blue. Had it from new in 1999 and covered 28000 miles. God how much I miss it

:( never mind a.

Enjoy your biking days and the vRS when you get it back.

Cheers Mr P............sorry to hear you've let the Ninja go........I know how you feel.........I went 6 months without a ride a few years back and turned into the most miserable ****** on the planet!

It's a bit different now i have had the vRS remapped but I am in the same situation as yourself, the wife keeps nicking the car Which is why I have ordered the Fabia vRS all for myself :D

Better than one who keeps telling you to slow down...

But she does when we are in it together and I am allowed to drive :(

Spit and Polish in Tonbridge also overhaul alloy wheels.
