Hey Nick,
Nothing better to celebrate than jumping on a 650 and blowing out the webs!

Have a great day.

Thank you all kindly for the thoughts.
I just unpacked my new Espresso machine, seeing as I have the midlife crisis toys already, I shall endeavor instead to make a decent cappuccino.

You know what they say about hitting 40 and being 'Over the Hill? Well forget that: what happens when you get to the top of a hill? You get where you want to go a LOT faster!

Hope you had a good birthday

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.
