  1. Funnily enough, the Multi section is the one I avoid looking at the most, and if I accidentally enter a Multi thread, I usually leave when I realise. It has a different feel to it to the rest of the site. Including its own for sale thread?

  2. Multi owners are like Catholics that believe they are the only ones that go to heaven and the rest either go to hell or purgatory :wink:

  9. Wish I had the money. Needs a bit of welding and a respray but he chuggs along nicely. They are great fun. I always chugg along with a bit of Santana blaring. Great for a day out to the beach etc.

    I saved up a load of wedge for a weld and respray, and then my old saab900 failed its MOT with a list of unmentionables like the dead sea scrolls, so I had to buy another car with the money. Saved up again now and will be looking for a welder sprayer in my area, but its a minefield as no-one will give definative quotes...drives me mad.

  11. I dont want anal (ooer). just solid. I'm not a person who goes for show and go. I just want to use it coz its funny and it makes me smile and laugh out loud when I am driving him. Percy is like a happy pill.

    I went to a zoo down nr maidstone a yr or so back. We were sitting in him having a cuppa tea when these 3 young girls (kids) asked if they could take a spin in him too. So we took them and their parents for a chugg. The kids faces were just full of glee. They just have a warming effect on people.

  14. No excuse Fin, youve got a big garage. Do it...hehe..

    If I ever get round to upping the engine, i'm gonna use it for track days. To tow my 916, which I am considering turning to a track bike only. As it stands it would be quicker to tow the bus with the bike.
