I went and did one or two lanes. Pulled my mate's Vitara out of the mud, and enjoyed a few hours of fresh Durham countryside air.

PICS TO FOLLOW.

[BoxCleva]

Picked my free caravan up


Then drove it straight to the weighbridge and scrapped it But not before stripping the cabling, lighting etc out of it.

Got home and fitted the front prop UJ that came from Milners (this one has a grease nipple )

Then took it up some very gentle lanes for a quick trial - Noise gone !

[BoxCleva]

[colley]

Let me no how you get on

[BoxCleva]

Will do bud.

[AskDean]

after further encouragement from the wife i finally took a trip the weight bridge and scrapped 2 v6 blocks, 3 heads, 2 sets of common chambers and carbs, shed loads of pipes and fittings, engine mountings and old springs and assortment of other metal laying in a pile next to the shed as the gardeners are in this week to sort out the garden ready for spring.

i know screams of horror but i had a post up offering the lot for sale for months and only takers was for one of the heads.

still have a full set of coil packs 2 tps and various electrical parts

As promised, some pics of when out laning earlier today.....






Then we decided to go to a local, somewhat secret little place (coz the owner doesn't want loads of people going there).....




Kev about to get stuck for the 1st time...


Kev now getting himself unstuck...


Me hooking up the tow rope to pull Kev out...


Me and Beasty to the rescue...



Me and Kev having a natter after I rescued him.


The best bit of all....NOTHING GOT BROKE, and we went back to Kev's for a cuppa, before returning home. Nice way to kill a few hours on a lovely sunny afternoon.

Fecked if I can remember past 22.00hs on the first day

[drinksoptional]

aye its a good for a weekend away plenty of boozers glasgow used to be great but the council a holes decided to get all snooty and done away with the street entertainers by creating allsorts of licence and conditions it killed the city center then the smoking ban and load of other stupid ideas just killing the pubs n retraunts they seem to forget glasgow was and still is working class folk but we not good enough any more

[Drift]

At the risk of OT
Smoking ban ..nar not a problem..dont smoke
Liverpool rocks wit free street entertainment, it makes getting the whole 12 yards to the next bar more fun

So tomorrow in between forecast rain I will be , greasing props, serving brakes and re-greasing hubs, changing wheels from muds to AT's for the road, changing power steering fluid and a bit of rewiring and re-securing a light
Oh and oil change
