    Glad you enjoyed it. We go every other year as they run the same show two years running in the UK. That helps the bank balance a bit! So far seen Varekai, Totem, Quidam, and Alegria. I'm beginning to understand there is a story behind each show, but I struggle to understand each one!

    Getting a cash offer for the 'busa... it's too low really but at least it's a start. Hopefully they'll accept my counteroffer.

    I find chucking a packet of Jaffa cakes into the deal always helps! :thumbsup:

    Even Jaffa cakes aren't worth getting stuck with a Busa for :p

    Got my GAZ adjustables and fast road tie bar bushes fitted this weekend. 2 more things off the list.

    Getting the 2 year/20k service on a diesel car (for warranty) for £130 at a local independent I trust. Audi wanted £300.

    Since the change in rules, as long as the car/bike is serviced to the manufacturers schedule using genuine parts, they do not have to go back to a main dealer saving Ooodles on silly labour charges.

    Watching some of the recent documentary's about Muhammad Ali.

    What a character, a great man, spirit and fighter.

    Sadly, i think the media do this while the fat day does her warm up exercises..

    The busa has a buyer. I know I should be happy but I'm not. I'm sad. Not helped that I'm only getting enough to clear the finance, no more. :thumbsdown:

    But at least it'll be sold. :thumbsup:

    Know how you feel. I'm never happy with the financial returns when selling as they don't reflect the initial price paid, care/time or money spent on extras. Still keep doing it though:rolleyes:. If it really bothered me I'd buy more secondhand, as usually I think the actual benefits between what I have & what I want aren't that great.

    That`s the problem with buying new. You take a large hit on the initial depreciation. :(

    At least I'm not buying the BMW new - it's got 1980 miles on the clock and is an 11 plate so nearly new. I'm looking at it as though the previous owner has run it in for me! :D

    Not for a few weeks yet. I need to get a few other things sorted first plus given the current weather I don't think I'm missing much! I'm planning on mid February or early March in all likelihood. :bounce:

    Don't think I'll be chopping mine in for a while yet :D , would take such a hit on the purchase price it wouldn't be worth it...not to mention all the clothing I got at the same time to match! :giggle: Still I had my Blade for 5 years, so a while to go yet! ;)
