Sure for that R&G, am goin' into the city today to get the stuff. Might also get NS1/NS2 which Chris swears by ...

Sure will do

On the way home from the airport I decided to get the split out of storage and drive it to charge the battery. Went to fetch my daughter from school with it and on the way back it died in the center of the traffic intersection and did not want to start again. I had to push it to the side of the road with people honking etc. Found that the starter solenoid wire had come loose. Still could not get it started and almost drained the battery. Eventually got it going by pouring some fuel into the carb, but it did not want to idle at all. Luckily I could get home by keeping the revs up. So a fun drive turned into pain in the ass. Tomorrow I need to clean the carb and fit a new brake slave cylinder as on top of everything, I saw that the right rear wheel was wet with brake fluid.

Thanks guys!
Uncle? As long as they don't say "No, uncle".

So hopefully after the weekend I'll be able to add something to this thread everyday. The cabrio is coming out of storage tomorrow.

Mocked up my exhaust and spent the day putting on heat wrap
