Folks, my very good friend is the UK distributor for SImpson & Craft Helmets. If you'd like me to look at a group buy for all you Stig-a-likes, can do.

Shall we gauge interest?

His site is http://www.fstorm.co.uk/

@ LouCyffer:

Extremely cool and also very original design concept and execution. Very clever indeed. Love the subtle "Andy" Arai logo.

TYVM Robin. Ian was awesomely talented at design. Sadly he makes better money in the software industry and so EN Design is now defunct.

I've had the OK from Firestrom Distribution to set up a Group buy for Simpson or Craft Helmets, and negotiated a bit of good old forum discount. (See my previous post in this thread).

Anyone interested, drop me a pm, or go direct to Firestorms website and quote 'Mk5GolfGTI'. :happy2:

On the paintjob front, a mate of mines has done some nice work on my Arai....Have posted these before but im a pic whore!  :ashamed:










The guy who painted mine also painted Gordon Sheddens helmet and did a one off for Stuart Easton (BSB rider) It was for a competition at the knockhill BSB round.
Rennat design FTW!

This is a personal favourite of mine by troy lee designs

Got myself a peanut cover today. decided against Greeners advice and gave the half an M&M a miss, thought it might melt.  :innocent:

I plumped for this one it fit's really well, and i got a great deal at Demon Tweeks, as there is a Mag 7 out now which came in at double this price.  :happy2:



All ready for Oulton on the 25th now.  :jumping:

Robin, before you pull the trigger - I only paid that for my Mag 6 from Rallynuts

Might be worth asking TC what he paid too and getting the same deal for a better lid?
