You are assuming Andy, that he was wearing them in the first place... In fairness that is unlikely though, after all the Sun made an appearance, albiet brief, and any inappropriately dressed gingerness will go from blue complexion to white in a nano second when exposed to sunlight, and then will go bright red and burn within a further 50 nanoseconds... Unless of course that said gingerness had applied a suitable sunblock prior to the exposure... ...such as this

I like that the "moment" has a name though....
THE TROUSER INCIDENT
Makes it sound like a train smash or something, when in fact it was an occurrence far more worrying for those directly involved.
Poor old Ross has never been the same since...
In fact it prompted him to spawn two Chavlets, in the hope of improving the gene pool by some miniscule percentage...

Well done mate, good to see it back on the road.
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 hereWork in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you....

Finally got Truck back on the road following the recent sad passing of the DMF Flywheel. Truck is now sporting a Trooper Flywheel, clutch and LSD Rear Axle. Oh and I swapped the gearbox as well while it was in bits. I've just come back from the standard 'round the block & through Shilton Dip' test run (it has straight roads, bendy roads, bit of track, water and the steepest hill in the area on it) and theres no reportable squeaks or rattles which for a high mileage 2.8 aint bad Next job is the winch and a 2" lift.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh....................................................... Took Truck out today, all works well apart from an annoying rattle sort of noise when stationary, out of gear and the engine running. It goes when the clutch pedal is pressed. Just had a quick look to find that the clutch release arm is not level, it seems that it has come adrift from the release bearing on one side as I can see one spring but not the other and the arm is definitely not straight. B******r..... I'm hoping that I can get it lined up without removing the gearbox again. I aint holding my breath though F****n hate gearboxs

Fitted my repaired Speedo cable. Snapped over Christmas, only just round to sending it off for repair. Sent Tuesday got it back yesterday. Works a treat. No more using my phone app as a Speedo. I can just get in and drive.

Collected my 3 muds off bobbinsjob this morning. Cheers for getting and storing them for me mate! They look skinnier than I expected considering they are 265's but that maybe because they aren't on the wagon. I'll have to line them up with my other bfg muds that are the same size
