I need to see it HP. The Manchester one went before I got chance to drool over it....

North Wales trip? ;D

Yes. I'm going to stop off at DF's on my way or way back from seeing Daron (TMC). No point drooling. You're more than welcome to have a go. :)

Hmmm, where you getting the ferry from?? ;D

I just hope we get some dates soon as we're booked up pretty well. I would reserve the best room, but obviously can't do that without dates  :-\

If you can get some dates out of the Italian government, you're a better man than I Gungerdin :-*

actually nice road to drive, especially if you get the midnight ferry BACk to holyhead then a good run along the A55, at that time of night you will have some fun  :thumb: long drive though, plenty of stops needed, at least M6 will be clear  ;D

Maybe a before and after TMC test? You can be the official test driver ;D
It seems you are fitting a TMC straight away HP, do you have an idea what difference you expect in the performance? It would be interesting to compare our unconverted and your TMC'ed 695?   ;)

Update: Italian paperwork has now arrived in the UK. I am now in the hands of the good old DVLA :-\

All being well, I should be able to pick it up on 9th of September. :o
