sideburn parties with Harry Potter

engine hunting roadtrip

New engine for the manta + mini BMX roadtrip.

John in Mansfield who sold me the engine drives this 3.0l straight-6 beast in rallys round Wales with his son. Awesome

Thanks to Matt at Woburn & Jamal at Nottingham for being so accomodating. Even did jumps with gaps! Good day.

It's what real men drive...

Not hating though, as I was rolling at the time. White transit for the win.

New York don't need no wetsuit

What a weekend. Amazing. Drove to Sheffield on Sat for a big family party. Great cakes & tea. Me, dad and Uncle Phil kept escaping to see Cav gain a 2nd place in the sprint all on his own. And apparently he misses Mark Renshaw in the bedroom... Funny

Dr Pete came over and along with Pugh we went to a random party and ate the cake we took for the birthday girl. Bar1 next for D&B sounds and then home to bed with a wobbly head. Low key but high fun.

Alec -

the only person who can legitimately wear boat shoes and no socks.

You can too when you've sailed across the Atlantic.

Bolehills the next day went off. Almost everyone showed up, the weather held off, the wind was right and ATs chili chicken was smashing. Best session there for ages. Thank you everyone.

Monday was pretty spontaneous too - went wakeboarding for the first time. Warren is a bit of a regular and showed us the ropes. Like being on a really fast drag lift, on water. Crashing doesn't hurt till the next day. My neck hasn't ached this bad since I saw Pendulum at the Brixton Academy years ago.

Great fun all weekend except for the drive home. New engine needed for the Manta. No really!

Gutted.

Will be right.

365 stylee

Friday night. Chilling with Pugh and a face mask, skyping the Denver familia. It's all good. Sheffield tomorrow for good times and bicycles; cannot wait. Here's a 365 (sort of) post...
