Re: Yakushi Show, British Motor Museum 2020 - Saturday 15th August
Can we set a time for the meet up?.. Paul AV tells me he's aiming for 8.30AM..is this reasonable
The R3 has performed faultlessly all week,so the only reason I can see for me not being there is the damn thing going dead..most likely on the M69

Re: What have you done to your RX-8 today????
Pulled the R3 out the garage,spent a couple of hours washing and waxing the gal,fitted a new battery - I fit a new Varta E23 every year - checked and corrected the tyre pressures,as they always lose a bit during hibernation,then took her for a 30 mile run...and fell in love all over again. Been seri...
