I dunno how that works in England, but here in Portugal the law states that the insurance certificate must be sticked in the bottom-right of the wind screen.

Rich suburban people and their #firstworldproblems :D

My 488's got Ferriari Historical Gun Metal Grey paint, chrome wheels, red calipers, charcoal and dark blue leather seats, yellow stitching and horses and badges and seatbelts. Carbon Fiber everything else.
Classy and low key, just like every Ferrari should be ;)

You could still buy a Fiesta R5.
It’s street legal.

For a “normal” build, to use the truck on a farm or some other truck duties, I’d put some sort of a diesel engine: VW 1.9TDI, Mercedes 2.5Turbo D, PSA 2.0HDI.

For an “crazy” build, I’d put some sort of a big motorcycle engine: Suzuki Hayabusa 1300, Honda CBR1100XX, Kawasaki ZZR1400

That’s the kind of people I jump to offer a ride in my car. On the first occasion I slam on the brakes and laugh at their blood running down my car’s dashboard. :D

Nop.This tune.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive

My favourite part is that Sapphire Cosworth out of the blue.

Rover 200 BRM, anyone?

Outstanding photos.
Amazing place.

Credit Agricole?

Dremel away! :D

And here you stand, writing for a living. You’ve done well, sir.

So it is fast and light and good looking by modern day’s standard.

Because you never saw a 405, is it?

There are two kinds of riders:
a) The ones that have crashed
b) The ones that haven’t crashed, YET.

That gearshift mechanism is beautiful!

I never rode a Z800 nor I know anyone who owns one. But a friend of mine had a 2010 Z750 and it was ace. It had the same problem you talk about in the Z800: the sound of the exhaust is a bit tame. He put a danmoto Carbon GP on it an it roared down the road like a thunder.
The greater problem with that bike is that is…

Great writing. Thanks Sean.

Btw, am I the only one who instantly thought: “Just put the damned Bridgestone front and Michelin rear and call it a day, ffs!”
