Ooh! First spotted for several years

I pulled into the carpark to let a convoy of sheep following a slow truck to depart.

Didn't leave it long enough tho' - still caught them up before Westerham 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

No, really!

Brrrrrrrrr.....

First spotted for ages

Brrrrrrrrr.....

I'm getting these replaced on Thursday morning.

Three have a little mileage left in them, two are just legal/iffy.

Does anyone want them rather than have the fitter take them away?

They can be collected from Kenley - just up the road from Caterham.

And like a twonk I forgot the vital part - they are 185 60 R13 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Thanks for the replies Rob & Simon, very helpful

Brrrrrrrrr.....

My 185 60 R13 A032s need changing and I was going to get A021s as I'd like more grip in the wet for road use.

I've also belted the sump a few times on duff road surfaces so would it cause any problems if I get 70 profile tyres instead of the 60 profiles? It is a VX with electronic speedo which is currently accurate at all speeds, I assume there will be some way of resetting for the new profile tyres? Is there anything else that would be affected?

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Mine is clonky for the first 10 minutes or so when very cold, after that no problems.

So, as others have said no need to be concerned 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Ooh, so cruel 😬 😬

Good idea Myles

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Average 23mpg for mine & tend to stick to B roads wherever possible, think my foot might be 'heavier' than goffers 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Red and white? noseband followed soon after by a yellow se7en with full roll cage

Yellow near Dunton Green - sounded great 😬

A great day for a blat - soon binned a tankfull

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Shiny blue & a big wave 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

At around 12:30 today, with a big wave & a big grin

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Have had exactly the same thing on my VX 1600 for the last two yearsgoffers, only seems to happen on really hot days. So makes a pleasant change really

Brrrrrrrrr.....

A spotted at last

Mind you - the ali looks smart cos it's painted silver 😬

Are you working at DL now Noger or just passing by?

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Shame that you weren't spotted.

Still quite impressive though.

Pushing it all the way from Purley to Warlingham in only 1 1/2 hours 😬 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

This stuff here is supposed to work well but is expensive.

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Nope, works fine for me

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Ah that beeper !

As the steering wheel on my car is too small for my daughter to turn at low speeds without going to a gym several times a week I hired a car from Caterham for her birthday a few weeks ago.

Normally she's quite demure... after not too many turnings we were both shouting 'that bl**dy beeping is driving me nuts!'

Take a chainsaw to it Dave 😬 😬 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Hi Peter,

I could do with the windscreen washer bottle & pump if they are still available.

Thanks.

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Hi James, you mention under £1000 for the conversion, was that with all work done by BB or did you do a fair bit yourself as well?

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Aaah! An expert required - one of those will be along shortly *smile*

Opinion is divided - I will be dumping the sidescreens and putting the deflectors on shortly.

They work for me but not for everyone. Allows me to go about 10-15mph faster than without before it's time to put the XL1 goggles on rather than sunglasses.

But to be honest you quickly get used to it & lose the feeling that your eyeballs are exploding and your brains are being sucked out of your nose. It's all part of the fun 😬

They are listed on CC site under Cockpit for about £45 but an ad on Wanted will get you some a lot cheaper from someone that they didn't work for.

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Almost worked.

Sorry, ignore me, just talking to myself 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

T est from P900

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Wot?

It's not going to happen today?

And I got up at half past five just to watch this space 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....

Option b. Oxted trimming can do the job www.oxted-trimming.co.uk

Or do a search for Jill Judd as she also does competent conversions as well.

I used Oxted trimming as they were a short blat from me and did the job in an hour. 😬

Brrrrrrrrr.....
