Some more pictures of the mini

New car (again!!)

I've only had the Z3 for 6 months but it's proved very thirsty for such a small car. I was hoping it wouldn't have such a bad drink problem, especially compared with my old 5 series, but i was wrong. I love the looks and handling of the Z3, not to mention the noise it makes, but i'm fed up of feeding it's habit! I was getting barely more than 55 miles from £10 worth of fuel so it's had to go...
I've stuck with BMW but have lost the familiar badge... Here's the new car which i should be collecting on Thursday with a bit of luck! It's a Mini Cooper S. It's all Dawn's fault for buying a Mini One last year and letting me have a go! It has 170 bhp and is only 0.7 of a second behind the Z3 0-60mph! Not bad for a 1.6!

Gemma's new bike

Well, Gemma's taken the plunge and now has her very own 'big' bike. We still have the TW125, which is currently in bits!, but Gemma's main ride now is a Suzuki SV650. Here it is...





It's restricted to 33bhp for the next 11 months but then the restrictors can come out and the full power can be unleashed.
