Ah awesome to see everything's arrived/in place  (I did realise a few days ago that the fuel filters had fallen off the "bits to order" list somewhat happy to see you remembered to order them ) 

very much looking forward to tomorrow and sunday  

dont forget to bring tools!  (and a new throttle grip for REV from the spare parts stash, ill also  bring my spare parts sheet with me that tells me what parts are in what box incase we need to run to the parts stash and raid it like last time)

If you ever want to sell that twin pot Visa....?....

I expect there is a queue.

Be rude not to let them quote it then! 

Charlie wants to bring his Frisbee, we tried on the big green by home but it's not big enough and the wind kept catching it 

Has he got a kite?

[Six-cylinder]

When I told the headmaster of the Visa forum I had found a Visa Twin pot I particularly liked because it was the updated front with the satellite switch gear he told me there were only three left in the UK like that and I had better get it bought!

I am not planning to sell it.

Quite right. French ones with CT seem to be between €750-€2000. 

[Mrs6C]

This twin-pot has a stylised outline of Concorde down each side as well, which is an unusual decal. I would like to find out more about that.

Citroen and Air France had a special tie-in with Concorde for the CX and started to build a special edition of the GTi Turbo to commemorate 10 years of supersonic flight... but the order was cancelled part-way through and only a few were completed...

I was just about to post about the cx Concorde. Beat me to it.

[egg]

That's marvellous.  550,000kms in a CX...

A very concorde story, it was great, but didn't quite work out...

Yes there is a French one for sale at the moment I think looks good for €1300 on the Visa FB group.

Add - Anybody wanting to collect a Visa from Europe I will give them a lift, like I did for Hairnet.

Concorde or not Concorde?

[egg]

Woah! That's fantastic. Right in the centre of France it seems. What a detailed useful advert as well.

[AnthonyG]

What time does this start? I ended up not going to Wales as planned this weekend. If it’s not pissing it down tomorrow in Gloucestershire I will make my way over for about 10:30-11. 

I will be in the Jaguar- MGF is not starting at the moment ?.

Yeah, and I was in Newhaven on Monday!

I would probably take you down in a powerful car like a 60 bhp Visa Diesel.
