I used to have a Kawasaki 750 Turbo Stav there fetching between £15/20 grand and all the RD 2 strokes well if I’d kept them I could have retired years ago lol...

Thinking about it we’ve all got stuff now that is going to be future treasure it’s knowing what stuff.

Was the Kawasaki a GPZ, they were nuts, they only made them for a couple of years 

a mate of mine has just bought a Audi S3 2010 to put away ( it’s immaculate) because he said they are a future classic, he did the same with a series 1 escort turbo about 30 years ago, he just refers to that as the pension, his brother has got a standard RS500 and he refused 60k a few years ago

Every time I’ve been there fox shooting I’ve seen between 2 and 7, they can be tricky to get near because  they tend to see you across the field. We’ll have to have a night after foxes on his land when we are allowed, he has hundreds of acres in different places, but are all within 5 minutes drive of each other

Look forward to that mate ,I'm climbing the walls. Foxes and suss out the best way to get onto the roe.

Yes mate it was the Gpz the turbo used to kick in at 5 thousand revs and it was like a Catherine wheel all hell used to break loose I used to drop gears around roundabouts and used to go around side ways lol the bravery of youth

I am not really into cars but I did like the old Sierra Cosworths and was partial to the Capri 3.0

Stav. I had an S plated 1200 bandit from new! Handled like crap until I dropped the yokes 1/2 an inch. Much better with an open can on it too.

Pretty much my last 4inline and what a lovely grunty lump it is. Fell in love with italian v twins after that.

I couldn’t get on here for a few days , don’t know what happened. I was wondering what happened to FH , glad to here you are still drawing breath . 
         I went to a cremation on Friday for a very good friends wife . I don’t normally display my emotions ( stiff upper lip) but when someone who was 48 dies leaving a husband children and parents, I defy anyone not crack . 
        Glad to see everything is still going along as it should. I didn’t realise it but when I couldn’t get on here I was at a big of a loose end , I even talked to the Mrs and daughter, and went on a walk , without a gun , just the dogs and not even going anywhere, just a walk to have exercise!!!! Unheard of !!! 
        

Sorry about your friends mate.

Rotten int it.....

All those cars they just don’t make stuff like that any more the xr2s god they were quick and that other little car the Renault Gt turbo I think it was so fast I had a race with one on one of my bikes, and why anybody would burn out a Capri 2.8 turbo doesn’t make sense your mate must have been devastated.

Ah yes the m1000. I always wanted a ss1000. There wasn't many about.

Mrs had a m695. That was fun.

She went around scotland on it too.
