MOT booked for Wednesday morning. 1st of the month, conveniently, so, all being well, it'll be taxed and on the road on Wednesday. Couple of days commuting as a shakedown then Newent, Glasgow, Aviemore, an undisclosed location on the West coast of Scotland, possibly a visit to John o' groats, Kenmore, Harrogate and back home.

Let's hope for some better weather. ;D

We love Kenmore :y :y We get there at least twice a year. next time we are up for New Year, they have a fabulous firework display in the village square, followed by a moderate amount of drinking ::) ::)

Well, I'm happy to say that it's now back together, MOT'ed, taxed and it has brought me 20 miles to the office without incident. :D

Couple of niggles. Judging by the handling it needs a slightly better suspension geometry setup than I was able to do with bits of string and spirit levels  ::) and the clutch pedal stop needs adjustment as it's dragging a little. Other than that, it's well and truly back on the road. 8-)

Top Job Kevin  :y
BTW, the 'undisclosed destination' on the West Coast of Scotland wouldn't be Loch Ewe would it? Every time I was sent on a course North of the Border to an 'Undisclosed' Establishment, I ended up there! ;D :y

That would be completely unfair, because when you back in the Omega it would feel like it was going backwards all the time. :y :D :D
