Pink Pipe result

I called Allens Performance who let me know that Mikuni only sell the 3mm ID hose in 12" lengths. This is to stop people from using it on any old application, and to make sure most of the hose gets used on carbs, as it was intended. Even though the spec is fine for non pressured lines carrying fuel, brake fluids, coolant, air, pretty much anything not under pressure.

However, 4mm ID is available on the roll, and I scored 2 metres of it. Nice. Bloke there was REALLY helpful and if you need anything carb or EFI related, use them.

Carbs.

Nice.

Pink hose?

Need some of this, about 3 metres of it would be fine. Yes, it HAS to be this colour. Why? Because I happen to like it. ;o)

It'll replace the hosing for the rad overflow, and the drains for the fuel tank and breather. If you do locate a supplier can you please let me know?

Oh, and I've found this to replace my HSM overflow bottle:

Cars I like - Pictures of the day.

There is lots of talk about fashion in cars, but way back in '05, Suzuki knew how cool a satin black finish really was. I am pleased that inspiration from it was taken and applied to the cars below, which just happen to be a couple of my favourite icons.




The 5 series is no longer with us:

Purton Hulks.

These ships and barges were all beached by the canal at Purton to be allowed to fill with silt and then act as a natural defence against the Severn eroding the canal infrastructure. An amazing place.

We had eaten all of our picnic by now, but the place is so amazing the pictures kept on coming.

It got colder as the wind came up and tide came in, so just a couple more.......

A day out with my ladies - Berkeley and Purton

A few pictures from our trip out today.

Berkley Castle is occupied by the Berkley family and is a great few hours out at a working castle with masses of history and wonderful gardens:


This old cast iron gear winds up the sluice to enable the meadows to be flooded making the storming of the castle harder. I could not find the handle to open it though...

Fountain the old swimming pool, now a lily pond....

Poppy and I, crouching out of the way..

Castle and the lawn. All very English and very quiet. Lovely way to forget the work and home routines and yo actually feel quite privileged to be there in a kind of odd way.

So, we all made out way to the butterfly house which was built in the 1970's by the current owner. It was warm, moist, and full of butterflies and quail. Yum.
