Hi guys just got back from 6 weeks in Sweden so missed this.

Would be interested in some piccies as it was pristine when I sold it. But hey, it's over 5 years back now

looks much the same actually.. bit less red maybe..

I can't believe it's over 5 years since I sold it. The colour was always good though It didn't fade because I did it with polymer sealant 3 times a year and it was pretty rust free as everything was covered in Waxoyl. Gave it another thick coat before it went so it shouldn't be holy

mine's gone beyond pink now, almost white in places!

That'll be the basecoat then

bird shit more likely!

Doc, you're the original antidote to a quiet forum!

Lol, probably mixed with all that cow shit at the farm.

Did it ever manage to rot away that CX John s had?

one of the CX's was scrapped, the GTi Turbo went to the local Citroen specialists, which is where my C5 came from some time later!

Yeah it was a shame as I like CX's. He had a Honda 750 4 bike as well as I remember.
Did that ever get back together?

Must organise a trip down your end again, fucking ages since I met up with anyone and had a pint of buttcomb!!
The college has been taking up far too much of my time. Must send a memo to myself

Fucking RETIRE you old get.

erm, he had a Honda something, Marty had that and I think it ended up with some old boy who put it back together!

Bit late response. Been across to Denmark to check out premises and their visa conditions.
Our Home Secretary has just about killed off our market here.

Yeah it was a 750 / 4 as I recall. Glad that didn't get scrapped. I still need some parts for my '61 BSA yet.

WOWCHA ...easy now you lot ...its only taken me 6 months to log back in on 'ere and I was originally back then gonna offer the Lycra up for sale cos she failed the test....but....The Tank Commander has laid up her Charleston for some desperate resto work...."what shall we buy as a replacement" I asked...nothin'..."I want my Lycra back" she said....so its about there and will be resurrected by the end of the month...long live K39.!!!

Hi Andy. Regretted parting with that car the minute I sold it.
Hows it getting on?
What did it fail on? If the guy who sold it to you gave you all the spares that were with it, you should be able to cover almost anything.

Hiya Phil...hope ya still well buddy...used to enjoy our chats but think have lost ya number mate...let me have it if ya will.Yeh the car still looks kool as..Tank Commander Karina was desperate to get it back on the road so that's what we did and a local guy who specialises in classics did it all Inc the MOT for £200 ..its back on the road for the weekend !!!...I need a spare rim Phil...any ideas where I could get one...or a full set of Speedies would be good...wishful thinking ..take care buddy.

Hi Andy.
Yeah. Still breathing in and out mate. Glad to hear K39 is still in working nick.
Not sure about rims, others on here might know about any speedlines knocking about.
Don't say you kept those shit Pug alloys I stuck on it. I got them free after I damaged one of the standard steel rims on a 12" kerb. that jumped out on me. They were never meant to be permanent, I was going to replace the damaged one, refurbish and paint them and get some original trims.
I'm still on the same landline 01942 238411. and my mobile is 07903412169.

Yep they are still on there...but am thinking of going back to original steel rims mate...would like some of those real plain dustbin lid type rims...don't know what they're called but look proper retro French. ..The front valence got damaged when I hit a fox at 90mph on the A14 2years ago and the car came off the road not long after so I gotta get round to doing that... (put it on the feckkin list !!!!) But she still looks and runs lovely mate. ..are you on WhatsApp on ya mobile ? I'll send ya some pics if you are ...will call ya soon pal .
