Early April by the looks of it. Current contract runs out at the end of
March.

Something like that, although I'm hoping to reduce it to a couple of
bikes (the Morinis and the Laverda) and a couple of suitcases.

The Integrale - if deemed worthy - might follow once it's old enough,
the rest doesn't make much sense as they're either too new (R1150RT,
Elise) or can be purchased in better condition for similar money over
there (911).

You're welcome to it. Only one more day before I return to
civilisation.

I'll keep the battery charged on the Elise if you like[1]. Then you 
could have a little run around available when you pop back over to the 
UK to replenish your sanity.

[1]no charge for the charging service

Good idea. I'll do the same for the 1150RT. It'll need a good run from
time to time.

And I'll keep the Integrale ticking over until it's old enough... they
really don't like being left standing and I suspect the Welsh mountain
roads are the ideal place to keep it happy. The positive side of this is
that I am the anti-Timo when it comes to Wop vehicles, so I can
guarantee it'll be running better and be less broken when you get it
back.

That's what either the 911 or the Integrale will be providing.
Unfortunately the Elise is on the "for sale" list for March.

> [1]no charge for the charging service

You know, if you buy it off me you can charge it as much as you like :).

That's on the cull list too, unfortunately. But if you're interested we
can talk about that - Brian can confirm it's a good 'un[1].

[1] I haven't managed to break it, and I've done 40k on it so far.

And mine's a good one - ask JackH, he's seen it in the flesh. In fact,
he helped me collect it. Good very early ones aren't easy to find
(mine's #53) and most of them are nasty rattleboxes.

As mint as you could hope for in fact IMHO.

Coo... wasn't expecting you to get that all sorted any time soon.

<looks at timescale>

You should be able to get the first one of the year in at Lydden
before you leave, if you'd like to say goodbye to the Elise in the
style to which you'd hope you and it would have become accustomed. ;-)

The whole process suddenly sped up quite noticeably. I guess the queue's
a little short atm.

I'll try - I guess I'll advertise it for sale from early March
onwards. I've already got some hints as to what sort of automotive care
packages would be welcome on the other side of the pond so things might
change.

Thanks! Currently plan is to land at SFO, probably spend a night at a
certain B&B before travelling on to Vegas. Sounds like a dinner
opportunity to me.
