Yea, out of curiousity, I looked at the results at present. Generally most mail in votes (ie the ones being counted now) are democrats, so I'd say its going to be a democrat win, but the margins are so close its not funny. Like one states 5.2 million votes, and the difference between the 2 parties is 30 thousand votes. Its going to be a close one, and you can bet it'll be a recount. That said though, Trump doesn't leave until 2021, so we've still got at least another couple of months of dealing with him. Hows everyone going?

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

That sucks mate. It’s something you hope never happens to your near and dear.

I hope he manages to have a decent send off if he doesn’t pull through.

He's still hanging in there, hopefully he will find peace soon.
Eight years battling brain cancer, was doing so well up to last year when it came back.

This was my trusty (not really) steed back in the day. I put 350cc head and barrels on it and modified the cylinder casting showing displacement so it showed 247cc not 347cc. 

 

Anyone that rode it thought it went like all fu@k for a 250!!

Used this one every time the above one broke....  The 'R' stands for Race or Really slow, can't remember which but you just couldn't kill it.

Yeah, the RZ was a '85 and the XL was an '82.
Must have been around 1987 to 1990 I had them. Sold them both with a month of each other.

You still into biking?

The unit I would’ve loved to make a move on has sold. It was low km, well kitted out and a good price - the usual for the hindsight stories later on...

Nah, haven't ridden in years and haven't owned any since those.

Looking back it must have around '92 or '93 I sold them so I must have bought them in the late '80s.

Too long ago.....
