A bit off topic but we have a ten year old lab - lovely little (she's working stock so small) but last May she developed a nasty lump in her mouth - had it cut out and tested - it was aggressive cancer. We were given a few options and went for a "cancer vaccine" which is fairly new to medicine.
After driving to Wellington (2 hours each way) every two weeks and shelling out a few grand (some covered by insurance but not all) we got the end of the treatment and were told it hadn't worked at all - the other two options were really grim, so we decided to let it just takes its course expecting a couple of months at the most. A few months later she still seemed fine so we had her checked over - no sign of a lump at all and almost 18 months later, apart from going greyer (like me), she's absolutely fine. So basically we had a bit of a mini miracle!

Dont have any spare time due to 4 kids. Used to race 1/8 rallycross, but now any spare time I get is either overtime or washing the Vel so the wife can get it dirty again...
 
I suppose I could have said in my youth I helped out as a mechanic on a class wining Cooper S sprint car, spent two years with a Chamiponship Mini Se7en Race car finishing off with 100 national & international Karts then went scuba diving before gettng a house. In beteen all that I built up minis and Cooper S engines. Once I settled down with my wife & had kids I spent four years rebuilding my Mini , buliding the engine just to see if I still could. Sold it after having it 21 years so I could extend the house, (needed the room in the garage) and we sold the Cali after because we hardly used it. Now I'm working part time I have a little more time to enjoy life with my wife hence what I orderd, so a bit of walking and photography does me for the moment. :)

image.jpeg image.jpeg +1 on the RD500 , I built my dream bike when I was 21 and sold it 6 years later. Not at 47 I had to build another / better one. First one had a CB900 engine in, the latest build has a GSX1400 engine, much better. My Van is mainly as a daily drive, but will take me and my resto-modded XR600r to some decent green lanes, and move the Harris to the odd show.
