I noticed in your sig pic you’ve named it Gunnar-after the late, great Gunnar Nilsson by any chance?

You're definitely an Aries Phil and on the day you were born, it was Easter Sunday and the day before my birthday - several other weird and wonderful (or perhaps not!) things happened to me that day, drop me a PM if you're curious to know more.

You are indeed an Aries, the same as me - I was born on the 15th, although some considerable time before you

I do like the wheel design, its just how time consuming they are to keep clean, hence my tendency to choose the simpler 5/7 spoke designs. The Volans on my 850R are a joy to clean

I've named the car 'Gunnar' as this is the name of the 'owner' named by the Danish Embassy on their documents. Its as simple as that sorry!

A little tip to help keep your wheels clean - once you've finished cleaning them, give them a good coat of wax polish and buff off as normal. Then repeat, at least once but having the wax coating on the wheels helps the dirt not to stick in the first place and to float off easier if/when it does.
I've refurbished one of the wheels on my 760 (back to bare metal then resprayed, lacquered etc) and before fitting gave it a good coating of wax polish. While it was on the car, it was the only wheel that stayed reasonably clean and always came up the cleanest with minimal effort.

Poorboys wheel sealant works a treat ! Good clean followed by a clay bar and then sealant will keep em clean





A simple jet wash with a low pressure nozzle after that and Robert as they say

Well thats the first of the 940 parts deliveries hidden in the garage

Valvoline MaxLife 10W40
NGK 6BPRES spark plugs

I already have a Mann oil filter in the garage, along with the sump plug washers, and I think I have a Mann air filter in a drawer there as well. I knew I'd be getting another 940 at some point, so I kept my spares lol.

Insurance arranged and train ticket bought, so I'm set. Just hope it is as good as it looks!!!

God’s speed. Enjoy the trip bud!👍
