Arne - superb!

Just one thing thing though - that camera was being held with your ' get me out of the s**t by clutching when I seize' hand if I'm not mistaken?

Could've been interesting near those cliffs :D

Either you've got balls of steel or ultra confidence in your motor - or both :D
If it aint broke.........tinker with it.....

you noticed ;-) after doing 100s of miles with no problems whatsoever you will have the confidence. give it a shot! the adrenalin rush of shooting up towards a cliff with absolutely no leeway is half the fun.
cheers!

Its not stopped p155ing down with rain here in Bristol for about a month now.

But hey- A TV175 S3, the Pacific Highway and "Light my Fire" (preferably by The Doors next time), and you'd think you've died and gone to heaven

Nice one
