“Just like the one I used to have” and inserts something completely different….

If a 986.2 in speed yellow pops up, I would be very tempted……

That looks fab and I do like the yellow. I took delivery of a cobalt blue big bro Frameset last month. Looking forward to building it up over the winter.

986.2 looks so much smarter than 986.1, the clear lights and the updated bumpers really set it off IMHO

Sold sorry

That’s because you’re sub-zero.

Cinelli above Giant please

M-739 v brakes for my Saracen build

I would need these posting to Somerset.

It was cool before I negotiated a tractor down a lane this morning .

Also WTF happened with the previous owners, someone has been here before with the filla.

Has anyone got experience of rehoming a dog with hip dysplasia?

McTwunts

I bought these recently from the Levi’s outlet at Clark’s village for £58 over the £80 rrp main Levi’s stores.

They don’t really fit me, and I have bought them again in the size up.

I’ve only worn them around the house, and they haven’t been washed.

The purpose/intent was an SUV Dog Somerset cruiser

I live in the middle of nowhere, most of the locals lanes are shot, and have subsidence. It’s a bit nightmare in my daily Audi A4 B9.5 avant.

I’ve had it since end of January, and the only thing that has gone wrong, was after refuelling at the petrol station, it would struggle to start (replaced purge valve).

Touch wood, it’s actually been very reliable, and I think that’s down to me searching for a low owner, good history, good example.

MPG is appalling which is the only negative, and puts a downer on ownership.

New stem awaiting v-brakes

Spot on with the v-brakes M739, I have got my setup nailed yet. So I am on the lookout for some M739 brakes.

New Billy Bonkers tyres fitted, which have helped with the soft sidewalls and a replacement alloy finish post for aesthetics.

Period cranks will come at a later point, as these sram cranks just work

My Dad always said he’s 5ft 11 and a quarter

I’m the worlds tallest 5ft 11 and smallest 6ft 0 kinda guy

Nothing to report

One gay beer for my gay friend, one normal beer for me because I am normal

Big day of driving, we set off at 7:30am and arrived at 5pm. Belgium motorways are full of tailgating, no signalling nutters. It’s also dead straight so it’s easily to let the mind wonder.

We stayed right in the market square, had a few Trappists and ate at Ribs n Beer.

Day 4
Mercedes Benz Musuem
0 miles

This place is absolutely brilliant, you need a full day to see it al. We arrived at 10am and left and 4pm. Lunch was at Bistro, we both had the currywurst.

We walked 3.5miles each way to the museum and felt like we did the same inside. The evening was spent enjoying Sophie’s & Carls Brauhaus.

Day 3
Luxembourg to Stuggart and Porsche Musueun
215 miles

Left early in the fog and took the semi scenic route via Pirmasens. Utilised the Autobahn and got the Cayenne to 120mph, it really didn’t like it. 100mph I would say was the most comfortable max speed.

The Porsche museum was decent, quite small with nice food in the Boxenstopp Bistro. My brother had the 911 Carrera (schnitzel) and I had the zuffenhausen maultaschen.

The highlights for me was the 993 Turbo S, 968 CS and Green 930 turbo.

We sampled some lovely Helles at Sophie’s brauhus, took in a steak at Block House and finished off in the smoking restaurant of Paulaner

Somerset to Luxembourg, Stuggart & Brugge

Day 1 & 2
Somerset to Luxembourg via Walton
455miles

Set off at 6am and headed to Walton to collect my brother, full up with a full tank and onwards to the channel tunnel.

Traverse through France (boring) towards Lille and Charleroi. Quick stop for a continental McDonald’s, Big Mac and Cheese samurai burger, delicious. Drop down to Arlon on the Luxembourg border. From here we picked up a scenic green michellin map route to Luxembourg for 2 nights, beautiful city but not a lot to do apart from sample the local the beer and eat good food.

W124 E500 spotted in the hotel car park this morning in Luxembourg

HVAC motor decided to give up this week right before we set off on the trip. It was still producing heat, just not blowing, so I took the gamble and replaced the HVAC Motor resistor (blue hedgehog) and luckily everything is working and back to normal.
