call me silly,but.lol.

mine still getting rebuilt,but seeing as how i live on a quite street,i took it out for a wee blast,just to hear the new peco backbox. it was however,without any bodypanels/nose/bonnet/seats/screen/lights/belts/mirrors etc etc and unbeknown to me,someone had reported some wee chavs bumming about on an old quad in the street behind. can yer see where this is leading?lol.anyways,the nice policewoman,on learning that i work for a police contractor,agreed to let me off provided i could show her an mot cert.couldny find it,so she settled for the fact it was taxed.passed go/collected £200/got out of jail free.

wont be doing that again in a hurry.

Just tee them together & carry a can


OR

Run it till it's dry on one side, then when you stop, get out put the buggy on it's side & let the fuel change over  ;D ;D ;D

Ha, Well I put mine all back together tonight, bastard thing wouldnt start so pushed it out to give it a jump from the van still wouldnt start then realised that the fuel sender was pissing fuel so thats 2 nights now this week I have filled the garage up with expensive fuel!!

To top it all off the the sack of nuts still dont want to start!! Esdebe is popping over tomorrow to help me solve (well I will stand back and watch... normally) fingers crossed it will fire into action!!

My buggy started fine, was going to use it to drive to bingley with Danny, but as Danny's was bleeding fuel, and the starter wouldn't do what it was suposed to do, I decided that if we were to see any of the show after helping him diagnose the problem we would need to use the motorway to get there, and the buggy isn't as much fun on the motorway, I'll get out in it some day soon though..  Then I'll be back in the garage tinkering looking for the next modification to make...
