    I hate that bike at the moment. The engine is coming out soon for a full stripdown, 100 miles after thoroughly overhauling the head.

    Hate hate hate. Burn burn burn. :mad: :shocking:

    Love it though. Nice to ride, good power, and a lovely noise. :thumb:

    You ride?

    No...I did pass the CBT a few years back but never took it any further. My dad's always ridden motorbikes so kind of grew up with them and do love them - maybe one day!

    To be honest I wouldn't bother with a GSi silk violet is nice but people are asking STUPID prices for GSi's, even ones that need work to make them road legal, a white one was going on ebay not long ago for £500 and it needed welding and other little bits to pass an MOT, silk violet ones are priced even stupider than that due to them being that colour.

    Buy a 5 speed 1.2 and make it how you want it. Or even better buy a van, already stripped out, there is a 1.5 TD for sale in Melrose £500 (Scottish border regions) and it already has drive shafts that would be perfect for a 1.6 conversion.

    I'm still driving the glacial blue Prius T4. I'm trying to sweet talk the Boss into replacing it with a Vermillion Prius TSpirit, with the LED Headlight Pack. It's not going well - looks like I'll be getting another T4

    An ancient diesel 106, no power steering or central locking. Can't wait til I can afford an upgrade but will probably be waiting until at least after uni :(

    It's the aerial and water getting under the seal - get some bathroom sealant (or some decent glue) and put it all round the aerial on the roof (and the bit of plastic / rubber around the base) - bob's your uncle, dry in the car!
