And today I did......

Today I got my Microcar Virgo Prestige HSE much to work colleagues amusement as it was delivered to work. Now all I have to do is get it home :shock:

Good points are it looks modern and is very comfy inside compared to my Robin. Bad points are its very small and the engine is agricultural compared to the Robin :roll:

I will report back if I reach home alive

We need pictures of the bike and the motor.

Today was my daughters second birthday

I took the day off work and we had a blast, currently trying to get her to bed whilst fuelled by cake

I cannot be bothered taking photies, uploading them onto my PC, transferring them to Flickr then reloading them onto retrobike in a form our beloved site will accept using an underpowered laptop with not great wireless broadband :roll:

You'll see the car type thingy and the bike eventually and then you can photo them to your hearts content on your fab high powered PC technology

Tuppy (tupperware) is weird to drive but easy peasy, its like a road going golf cart. Suspension is a bit firmer than the robin but doesn't roll as much. Take up of power is a bit elastic but smooth and stepless, vibrations at tickover though is funny, the whole car shoogles as the twin pistons rise and fall together like an old Brit motorbike.0-40 is quite brisk but next 20 or so I suspect will be a tad asthmatic. I can get a bike in the back and I suspect two might be possible so thats great. First impressions are it'll be perfect for my needs

Today I have mainly been at work. In fact i'm still at work and will be here for a good few hours yet. Hoping to be home for three as I'm back in at six tommorrow and need a shower and a few hours kip. Looks like this will be the pattern this week. I'm going to be knackered by the time I get to the Peaks Meet on Saturday morning.

Received my subscription confirmation from Privateer magazine today, saying it would start with issue 2 in March 2011!

Not happy, so have politely but firmly unsubscribed.

:? Hope I'm not waiting for issue 2, anyone got their issue 1 yet?

Haven't got mine - I thought I read on STW that it had been delayed until next month?

Interesting about the March date, when I signed up, I was told the direct debit would come off early next year. Seemed a bit strange, guy on the phone agreed, but thought what the hey ho.

And today I did......
