I saw this NOS Manx SR badge on thesamba but was too late as it had been sold. I'd love something a bit different for the hood of my ManxII and these badges were fitted to some late ManxIIs (after Bruce left the company) so it would've been kosher...

I'm sure I've seen a pic of a ManxII fitted with a Manxter hood badge but Winnie won't sell me one as it would be 'period imperfect' so I guess I'll stick with the decal for now!!!

I don't really want to prise Ben's off... My sticker's fine for now and I've got a spare sticker and a couple of sets of plastic badges so enough to last a lifetime really. Have you been at the old Tesco Value Scotish Wine again...???

That old moonshine mixed with a bit of Johnny Cash music last night just had me talking more crap than usual. I would have saved you a drop Dave,, but I know when on the beer you have a tendency to purchase old unwanted buggy projects on ebay LOL!!!

Stranded in Ireland, smashed the car up, am OK but bruised and sore. Cant get home till monday. Dave. Well that was a shock, Thank God he's OK.
