'Slim J' sounds like the sort of name some sweaty 74 year old who drove a yellow Hyundai Amica with a glove box full of Werther's Originals would call himself.

This Suzuki was on my watchlist about 6 weeks ago and is still for sale. I guess the market for retro 2 stroke enduros is quite small, and that anyone wanting to go green laneing would be looking at a 600 4 stroke single which is 25 years newer.

 

Always wanted a PE 400 myself, but I think that was USA only.

'all major work has been done'

 

Yes, all the major work of hacksawing the inner wings off and balancing a painted C20XE lump with bits missing on top, and some wiring that looks like an explosion in the Kerplunk straw factory.

I CBA to google it, but WHO is paul walker ?

e

 

Paul Walker was the son of Johnny and Annie Walker he met his untimely end when he was in a tragic crisp lorry accident in 2013.

Gary Linneker didn't realise that he was running towards him during the filming of a Walkers TV ad, assuming he would'nt be running.

Hence the epithet seen on this special edition ' Salt and Vinegar ' Focus.

I see no mention of Crisps or Gary Linneker, aside from the fact that he was burnt like a crisp.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Walker

 

 

 

On November 30, 2013, at approximately 3:30 p.m. PST, Walker and Roger Rodas, 38, left an event for Walker's charity Reach Out Worldwide for victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)[50] in Rodas's red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. The car crashed into a concrete lamppost and two trees on Hercules Street, in a 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) speed zone near Kelly Johnson Parkway in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, after which the vehicle burst into flames. The crash was caught on film by a security camera.[50][51][52][53][54] Authorities determined that Rodas was driving the car while Walker was the passenger.[55] The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department declared both victims dead at the scene.[52][56] Rodas died of multiple traumatic injuries while Walker died from the combined effects of traumatic and thermal trauma, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office. Both of their bodies were burned beyond recognition.[55]

The curve where Walker and Rodas were killed is a popular spot for drifting cars.[57] The coroner's report stated that the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT was traveling at a speed possibly as high as 100 miles per hour (160 km/h) before the crash. The coroner's report further stated that no alcohol or other drugs were found in the systems of either man.[58] Furthermore, it states that there were no hints of technical problems with the car and neither a damaged surface of the street nor parts on the street played a role in the accident.[59] Police investigated as to whether drag racing played a role but were unable to find evidence of a second car's involvement.[60] A piece of the car was stolen off the tow truck as the wreckage was towed away on a flatbed. Two men, Jameson Brooks Witty and Anthony Janow,[61] were arrested for grand theft.[62] Walker's autopsy showed "scant soot" in his trachea, leading investigators to believe he died before the car was engulfed in fire, where Rodas was killed on or shortly after impact by head, neck, and chest trauma.[61][63]

Grave of Paul Walker at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills

In March 2014, further investigation revealed that the speed of the car was the main reason for the crash. The car was said to be traveling between 80 miles per hour (130 km/h) and 93 miles per hour (150 km/h) and had nine-year-old tires that were seldom driven on.[63]

With Furious 7 in the middle of filming at the time of Walker's death, Universal announced an indeterminate hiatus on the production, citing a desire to speak with his family before determining what to do with the film.[64]

Numerous friends and movie stars posted tributes to Walker on social media.[65] His body was cremated and his ashes were buried in a non-denominational ceremony at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills.[66]

In December 2014, Walker's father, Paul III, filed a lawsuit against Rodas's estate seeking the return of, or "a proportionate share" of revenue generated by a group of automobiles that were jointly owned by both Walker and Rodas.[67]

In September 2015, Walker's daughter Meadow filed a suit against Porsche for wrongful death of her father, claiming that the Porsche Carrera GT had numerous design defects including a history of instability, and that seat belt placement can cause harm upon impact.[68][69][70] Porsche's response denied any wrongdoing and blamed Walker himself, stating: "The perils, risk, and danger were open and obvious and known to him, and he chose to conduct himself in a manner so as to expose himself to such perils, dangers, and risks, thus assuming all the risks involved in using the vehicle."[71] In April 2016, a U.S. District Court ruled in favor of Porsche in a separate lawsuit filed by Roger Rodas' widow, Kristine.[72] The ruling has no bearing on two other cases against Porsche which have been filed by Walker’s father, who is also the executor of the actor’s estate, and his daughter. Both are pending cases at the Los Angeles superior court.[72]

The first thing they taught us was that one in 3 of us were "in the closet homosexuals"  (A students union presentation to freshers - thanks for that wasted 2 hours of bullshit)

 

As accurate as Wikipedia, given that there were 30 lads on our production engineering course and only one of them turned out to bat in a strange game of French cricket.  

 

The second thing they taught us was that The Japanese were better at making stuff efficiently than the British, and we were the future of UK manufacturing and it was up to us to make industry change.  Given that 100 % of all the companies I worked for in the first 15 years of my career are now closed or transferred abroad, I think neither bit of learning was taken on board.

When we bought this car .............. it was sold to us as a cat C with low level freshwater flood damage, .............................(stuff)...........................................................................

 

 .....................it has been brought to my attention that it is recorded as a cat B not a cat C.

 

.........................I have never had any problems insuring it and of course I have the v5 so it can be used no problem.

 

A car of this spec would retail at around £13,000, reserve is a fraction of that.....

...........it would be a great car to export

 

I say "Go on then.....IF it's such a great idea...twat"
