Picked up another old 2 stroke, an Aprilia etx 125. I knew Aprilia's had a reputation for being quick but this one is really slow compared with the kmx. It has a restricted CDI unit and doesn't seem to have a power valve on the cylinder head. I was quite disappointed with it thinking it would be faster I would palm off the kmx to the Mrs and keep the Aprilia... Maybe when I manage to make it quicker I will have it...

We had some rappers down shooting some scenes. Nothing says "money" like a Chevette with mismatched panels and broken headlights...47674e82a3b92b821aaeb8b1d2fea8ed.jpg

I'm not usually in to rap music but saw them supporting Deaf Havana and they are one of the very few support acts I've actually looked up after the gig. Rather like it.

I don't remember seeing it, or I forgot, so it only slightly counts. What's happened to it ? Is it on the road ?

Not yet I don't think, he's doing a balls deep restoration

All 4 tyres as flat as a fart.  That has to be a square on Autoshite bingo surely?

Well bought!

You do know about it, I used to own it and you helped me to find parts! I think Garbaldy is restoring it and putting a turbo xud in it.

It's an e reg, the guy I bought it from only bought the van for the plate and has transferred it to a BMW. I have the v5 for the new registration.

Are you going to fix it (just to say you have?)

I'm not entirely sure what to do with it, I have all of the spares required to fix it but have a major case of CBA and think it might be better just to sell it along with a couple of other 305s.
