Is he MIA or has he been mentioned in despatches since Friday?
I saw him on Saturday, very happy he was too. I am waiting on an email from him and I'm quite surprised not to have received one.
Strike that. E-mail received and he was somewhat hungover yesterday. That monotreme has much to answer for.
Not answering his phones either. I was on the Dell site you mailed tonight. No XPS laptops. Is it just me being a fuckwit? the dropdown doesn't list the model type at all.
On the Outlet? You don't have much chance really, the resellers have them pretty much stitched up. They only appear on the drop down list when they're actually in stock.

Ummm so how do I get one then? <hopeful> You were telling me you saw tjhem on the system, or was that a different system
Very nice. Elevated tickover when hot was resolved by slacking off the tight RHS throttle cable and resetting the idle screws to a half turn out, rather than one-and-a-bit. I sorted the tyre pressures and took it out for a spin. Lovely light handling, decently nippy when shown the whip, responded well to clear direction[1]. I imagine the suspension could be improved, and the "comfort saddle" had the plush, luxurious depth of an excessively-laundered nylon shirt. The centre box was probly Keihan, but the rest was rusty OEM. The service it had may not have stretched to changing the gearbox or bevel box oil, and the oil cooler connection over the oil filter didn't appear to have been disturbed. The spark plugs looked a bit hot, and the paint was not a little purple. Apart from that, fine, clean, nice to ride. [1]Like the Wermacht. Given the proper orders, it would go clear across Europe, stopping only for petrol.
The easiest way would be to ask someone to find you one. You would need to tell him your minimum spec and maximum price and he could try to find one for you. There was a stack last week including a very reasonably priced Core 2 Duo.
So does it out-GQ the GQ? Sounds like the pattern comfort seat. They never seemed anything like as good as OEM IMO
Apart from the pop-out gazoombas. It doesn't have gazoombas. You'll remember I fitted a nold /7 saddle to mine. Much better than the one it came with.
Was that the old model seat with the space for a First Aid kit in the front? I never thought of this. The /7 has the seat cowl etc integrated IIRC? so the OEM topbox would be out but it is a more comfortable seat and looks nicer.
No, this was the really old one that was a plain ordinary saddle with a chrome hitching rail on the back. Some /7s had the cowl. Mine didn't. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ukrmplatypus/detail?.dir=1990&.dnm=45ebscd.jpg&.src=ph http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/ukrmplatypus/detail?.dir=1990&.dnm=52f8scd.jpg&.src=ph Tended to sit a bit low on the Mono sidepanels. Abraded the paint on the RHS, popped the LHS one off somewhere along the local roads. But, comfy, and quite smart looking, as you can see. No fucking around required to fit, either.
