It's doing fine, it's an interesting drive especially when there are tram lines in the road, it likes to follow them, it's also a bit vague on the steering, apparently it's because when you lift it you alter the castor, you can get castor correction bushes which improve the situation which I've bought just need to get around to fitting them. But we all know what replacing steel lined rubber bushes can be like, either easy or a total barstool, the bolts don't look in that good a condition so I figured I's get some new ones before I take the old arms off.
But what has improved the steering immensely is a damper, which reasonable as well, £35 for the brackets & £25 for the damper.
Also fitted a towbar so I can put the bike rack in it & replaced the window regulator on the passenger side which was an interesting feat,
Well it's that time of year again, nobody is religious anymore, it's based on pure commercialism, Jeez I'm getting old, turning into more of a grumpy old man, I think tomorrow morning I'll stand outside & shout at the clouds.

Currently no kit cars at Phaeton Towers, was in dialogue with the owner of my old Bugrat but he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth, I believe he wasn't well after a back injury, hopefully it's nothing more serious than that, but as DVLA won't play ball & providing any information there's no other way of contacting him.
No idea what the currently plans are, ideally I'd like to build a bespoke buggy, not to Rich's standard but a unique one, but TBH I can't see that happening, so will just keep my eyes on FB & Ebay to see if something interesting comes up.
Current project on the drive is this Kubota RTV900 to go down to the field when finished, to say these are designed for the farm people the design is very poor with regards to places to trap the mud to generate rot. This one is having to have new cab floors & a complete new trayback

I don't think I can make a better comment so here is last years.

Little update on the Kubota RTV900, on Wednesday night it got stolen from the farm, they used bolt croppers to chop their way through the big bike chain we had between the chassis & the steering wheel. They then used them to cut the barbed wire on the fence, then using the truck ram their way through the hedge. Crossed the next field & then did the same with the next hedge which got them into a field that had a gate. They were then on the road, what they didn't know was there was a tracker on it, I was alerted so rang 999, they despatched cars to the area whilst I stayed on the phone with the handler. The thieves finally abandoned it 8 miles away on some wasteland after doing the last 2 miles offroad going through woods & fields. I gave the Police the What3words of where it hadn't moved for a while & they were able to find it on foot I then had to go over & drive it back in 3 degrees weather, with a Police escort
