Sorry Drew to hear the news on your motor mate , but we dont want people buying sidecars just for a spare one, we need new people to get it if Pate doesnt do something with it for next season. I understand Pirate maybe selling 1 of his sometime so that would be good

New motor is crated and on it's way. Should have it running Thursday night.

We'll do our best mate. Things are getting sorted.

It is the first season of the outfit, we just weren't expecting quite as serious teething problems.

Take it slow ! If that's possible...and good luck Boxing Day.

ps I mean approach everything (eg prep) a bit slower. I'm guessing you hit everything flat out ? lol.

Ummm, isn't that kinda the opposite of the point. Made worse by the fact that we managed to actually get along pretty quick at the weekend before it blew up.
