Did they ever fix the dips coming out of LLangeinor going towards Bryncethin?
Even the Manta used to get bit out of shape at 110+ down there
Thanks PJ, I thought they might be twitchier because they are designed to be nibble rather than stable.
Mate, I am ritually humiliated because of my speed. I was overtaken through Llangeinor by a frikin Reliant Robin. In daylight. And it was seen.
The next time I went into the Blaen I was shredded!
So yeah the dips are still there but at 55 in my truck they are a gentle wallow.
We've been hit by a full on gale tonight, and it's lively out there to say the least.
There's a paper shop opened opposite to the Blaen next door to the Chinese, it just appeared there one day so we call it the 'Freaky Shop'.
(They shut the Co-op on the corner and the one down in pont, and built a new one on the Ffaldau Colliery Site. Opposite the Ffaldau Pub which got burnt down by scrotes. It now lives in kit form (lol) in the quarry on the cows back.)
Anyway, I was just in the freaky shop getting some guinness and the girl was on the phone to her husband, because the roof of their garage was getting warmed up for its maiden flight. I went to my truck to get something and the wind nearly ripped the door off!.
There will be trees down.
Just a little snapshot to make you homesick. ;D
Any way, here is the proof you can dismantle a CG engine with a spatula and a bit of wood:
Only 28k miles, all looks and feels ok. sheding the starter will lose a few pounds.
Bore looks ok, no furrows to plant winter potatoes in. I'm not going any further down than this for now.
All to do next is to pop the valves out down at Braunies, Lap 'em in.
Do some thing to remove or seal the starter motor housing on the side cover.
Replace a snapped exhaust stud. The front sprocket is shagged.
The inlet manifold has split. How ever so far the engine is of a quality I would expect from a Honda.
