Possible Replacement Bike

Never had an 8 series my nephew had an 820 Vitesse but I never got to drive it it was totalled when a new Michelin tyre failed at 60mph sending into the arnaco crash barrier a police car was following and witnessed it all. I had two Rover 75s nephew had one mine were a 2000 75 2.5 Connoisseur auto in White Gold with Aubergine leather interior later I bought a non runner 75CDT (2.0 BMW M20 diesel engine BMW owned Rover for w hile during the design of the Rover 75 model) auto in Red with charcoal cloth interior Classic trim the ECU had been flooded had it repaired and it was remapped to 160bhp. In the past ha a couple of Ital's a 1700 estate and 1.3 saloon and of course the Triumph Spitfire Mk2 (1964) my first sportscar.

It's bloody cold outside just knocked up a wooden ramp so get the bikes into the "workshop" it's 41cm wide and 120cm long will do until can get a proper concreted one in place.

Edit : weather forecast lied again as it's snowing again already got more than they said.

 

That reminded me that I missed out the Triumph Dolomite 1500HL.

Dad had an Austin 1100 (TPA 495F) that was nice car and he had it for many years he got rid of it after the ear subframe rusted the repair was more than he was willing to pay.

Now the weather is not cooperating it has actually stopped snowing right now but the clouds are still there so we probably will get more and the frost is not helping but ......................... Thursday and Friday they are saying it will actually get above freezing assuming there are not wrong yet again those are the days we have been aiming at for registration. Have not heard from the dealer yet as to if the tyres arrived and are fitted or not I did not go out today but tomorrow have to go and draw money to make sure have enough to pay the balance and the insurance and fees for registration and get some tablets if I don't hear by tomorrow evening will have to call and see if there is a problem.

Update ........ the dealer had to go to hospital today told no heavy work until next week so tyres not getting fitted until next week now looking at forecast Weds or Thurs are best days then it's more ice and snow. Oh well have to wait bit longer does not matter really as cannot ride it yet.
