Money to be made on them that's for sure. Parts a pretty cheap.

Alas he's not a qualified tester!

I use hand signals.....

It's cheaper than buying the genuine semi slicks. As stated, passed its mot and only advisories were the front tyres which I knew about so happy days. Also got a deal on a re gas on the air con so mot and air con for £60 nips.

It's a price worth paying for 200mpg!

Yeah, I'm hoping it scrapes through on the front tyres. They're close to the limit!

When I drive convertibles I feel like a total bell end.

Just dropped her off for the mot. Fingers crossed...

Oh and check out my shiny helmet...

Honda badge turned up today to fill my little holes.

My advice would be to steer clear of them unless you like repairing them. I'm sure they're good ones out there but I think the majority have had issues and turn into money pits.

I'm well happy.

I won't ride it if it's wet or damp so have never really noticed if I'm honest. It used to do it on my push bike so I'm guessing it will do it on this!

Looks great.

New swing arm came the other day. 2cm longer and aluminium rather than pig iron. Jam was extra.

Respect for owing that long! Lovely car.

Give over.

That's proper neglect!

I haven't seen one on the road in ages and saw one yesterday. What a good looking car they are now! Didn't use to like the front end on them but much prefer them to the 172 now. Only ever had one before which was an exclusive but seeing that one had me heading to the classifieds.

Mine has got the 110 head already. If I'm changing the engine I'll go for a 140 or 160cc pit bike engine. I'll obviously declare that as I'll obviously have to do my full license to ride it then.....obviously.

First clean today. Been commuting to work all week and the thing runs on fresh air!

What power does the 2L make?

I think the 350 would be a bit of a let down.

Not even close!

I can't hear the exhaust over the sound of someone shaking a box full of nuts and bolts that comes from the engine bay.

Wash and wax today. Still enjoying it for what it is - a nippy commuter that does 40 plus mpg.

BB were reputable mate. I stopped caring about belts about 5 years ago. Bought 4 that were done by (dare I say it) non specialists and they were all c**k on.

No, @craigyt built his from a box of rusty parts and I bought mine from some chav in castleford. There's a few like these on eBay though - potential money maker for Restos as values appear to be on the up.

First ride today! Loved it! So easy to ride and nippy enough to keep me happy. Will pootle along at 50-60mph with no issues. Couple of pics. Shame about the gay as L plates but got to keep it legal.

Ouch.
