MrToms truck is spritely compared with Dans...Dan has to always put a YEARS tax on his sooner than 6 months...just to make sure it doesnt run out before he gets where he is going...
Even the slowmo of the NCAP crash test for a fronty was quick compared to Dans truck... :shock: :shock: :shock:

It could be close... :shock:

We could have a "challenge" on the way to the annual to decide it once and for all.... 8)

by finding a Gatso in a 30mph Zone and on an incline, and seeing if either of you can set it off! :lol:

oi oi oi oi oi wait up a second guys!! (maybe not the best choice of words) since when has it been pick on me and my truck month?? :axe: :lol: The truck has its ups and downs....costing more so far than the dti put together....not saying I hate A's or anything :P but when its going, it goes fairly ok.....Ive owned faster cars, and even trucks....but hay....none of them rattle in the same loveing way (or at all lol)

Due to the nature of this apparently more robust A, I cant put my name down till I arrive at the gate lol and even then it might be on a flat bed :roll:

My 2.8 shorty - now sold, and comments here
My old dti - now sold

I think i may have to miss this years, with the missus deciding to plan a wedding a 6 months ago for june this year and the truck not getting any of the mods i had planned (or even with axels on it at the moment) funds are going to be next to impossible. :evil:

Caravan? Yes, from Brize Norton way. Same route as last year.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

I really want to go this year as I missed last year, but as the date is much later than I thought, and given the fact that June is my 10th Wedding Anniversary, and I have told the wife I'm taking her away for a holiday (1st one for about 7 years :shock: ) I really don't know if I'll have the funds. Especially with an impending house move in the next month or so too! For chuff sake! :twisted:
