Broken Chariots?
« on: May 20, 2004, 12:07:34 pm »
After hearing that the Commer is in many pieces and not yet ready for the trip, I thought it was about time I got the Sud out of the garage and got it MOTd  :o  The local welder will be rubbing hi hands in glee and booking a nice expensive holiday again!!

Anyone else not sure if their ride will be ready?

(p.s. LESS THAN 3 WEEKS!!!! WOOHOOO!!!)

Not sure if I have problems yet. The 120Ah leisure battery seems to last less than two days with light usage. It is a new battery and the fridge relay has just been replaced after that was draining the battery. The Clutch fluid needs changing again and I guess I should bleed the brakes aswell. Other than that I think the Motorhome is ready to go again.

Steve how are all the cobra's??? in particular the overheating one! And Beila's car?

I suppose this is the time to cut down use of my Midget, Lara. She has just passed the MOT with flying colours etc, had new springs and wheel bearings and had a great pre LeMans tune up on the rolling road.  76 mighty BHP at her wheels! Better put her in moffballs for three weeks (Three?Only Three? Yabbadabbadoooo!)

Oh beggar it, can you imagine NOT driving her in the weather we've just been having. S*d it if she breaks I'll go in the SAYAB.... 8) 8) 8) :D

The trailer had its final fettling today, new washers and screws.

Wow, if only it was aero-dynamic.

Ahh the Red XR2....  It ended up like this until we got shot of it.

Got on well with the chap at the council  responsible for dumped cars round my way - nearly bagged quite a smart Mini, but the bloody owner moved it  >:(

BUT!!!!  OH HAPPY DAY!!!  In the MOT the Sud only failed on lights and a tyre.  Thats right folks, NO RUST!!!!  :o :o :o

I love the sound of Dellortos in the morning.  ;)

That must be a miracle for an Italian car of that age, do you keep it in an air conditioned bubble and only use it one day a year  ;D
