I thought my hearing aid was buzzing. Either that or the haemmaroids. Hard to tell these days.

Stan, son... How are you traveling.

You must be getting close to needing a Zimmer frame like me these days. Without it, I find myself regulalrly on my side with my legs cocked up like a poodle.

speaking of which how are your poodles going? or was that just one.....my memory is starting to fade in my old age.

For everyone benefit ....we should dig up that thread where you sold the Unicorn SP within a few hrs at a top price.

[quote="PB"]Glad to hear you're still looking after her Tezza! I'm still waiting for you to "downsize


Lol. Hi there PB. Hope the world is treating you kindly.The old blue bomb is still running well but not getting a lot of use these days. I'm just enjoying being able to take her for a midweek run without having to deal with mamil's when I get the chance.
And yes your details are still filed away in the unicorn folder. 8)

Stan I think he was the original Billy bunter, before there was a Billy bunter...

His threads seem to have gone to the mx5 archive sadly

The black on on Facebook we just did had about 5% of the emissions its allowed and it runs on regular pump 98.

So it's not as if it cannot be done.

As a long time casual observer I find this discussion fairly interesting (intriguing would be a better word). Never realised there was any divide (be it small or large) between the 2 turbo options. For a factory backed turbo (ie, warranty, service, resale etc) it's alright. Never taken a fancy to the turbo cars.

That being said, the only turbo that made me think twice was a diesel (which I'd consider as a daily if they ditched the DPF).
