I washed the Minx on saturday morning..... but then went up to see Soggy and Hickster, so by yesterday afternoon she was filthy again!

I took her for a full valet She looks all shiny again too!!

Might have to go to High Wycombe this afternoon.... got a printer down up there!

Let them do the modification.... if it is the offcial warranty recall that I've had its okay so far No marks at all!

Or you could wait till the spring and get it done then in time for summer

yeah, I am thinking wait till the last bit of winter has gone, but I don't like this dealer and I don't think I want them to do the work

Glad to hear that this might finally resolve the problem and mean no more marks

Love the spec but not the s spokes! I have them and they are very heavy (dent performance) and I wouldn't go for them again.

On the other hand they do look good!

Oh and I couldn't see JCW upgrade on the list

I can't see that either I'd rather buy another classic or spend on the current one than on that at the minute...

Never had S spokes, other than for about 5 miles on the S... like the look, not into performance really, we only pootle about town and do the odd mini run....
