An Englishman, a Irishman and a Scotsman are all in Saudi Arabia, sharing

a smuggled crate of booze when, all of a sudden, Saudi police rush in and

arrest them. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi

Arabia, so for the terrible crime of actually being caught consuming the

booze, they are all sentenced to death! However, after many months and

with the help of very good lawyers, they are able to successfully appeal their

sentences down to life imprisonment.

By a stroke of luck, it was a Saudi national holiday the day their trial finished, and the extremely

benevolent Sheikh decided they could be released after receiving just 20 lashes each

of the whip.

As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "It's

my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one

wish before your whipping."

The Irishman was first in line, he thought for a while and then said:

"Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes before the whip went

through. When the punishment was done he had to be carried away bleeding

and crying with pain.

The Englishman was next up. After watching the Irishman in horror he said

smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back." But even two pillows could

only take 15 lashes before the whip went through again and the Englishman was

soon led away whimpering loudly (as they do).

The Scotsman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the

Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the

world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you

may have two wishes!"

"Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness", The Scotsman replied.

"In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not

20, but 100 lashes."

"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also

very

brave". The Sheikh said with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes

is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish, what is it to be?"

the Sheikh asked. "Tie the Englishman to my back."

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
