I've just sorted Insurance online for 18 quid a month
The Beast is on the road from Midnight Fully legal

I hope the heavens open overnight & things get messy.

Mate you never cease to fascinate me with your toybox! The external cage, it's wicked

Up early this morning spannering. I changed the rear light cluster over & got my rear lights working legally. A complete Bodge even if i say so myself

Cut & chopped the wires & used gaffer tape to stick the clusters in the bumper

Fully working & fully waterproof. Driving it on the road can only be described as like driving a tractor it's great fun, Everybody gets well out the way when i come round a corner that's for sure.
Towed the other one back to my plot up place & have sorted out access to my mates yard & All his welding gear

Next week is full on Jeep mission week so that she's ready for the next downpour & off road session. If i wasn't so busy helping a mate out this morning amongst my own missions i would have gone off road today. I do really need to give it the once over properly before hand though i s'pose.

I bet you're waiting for thick snow so you can drag Mr. Sales Rep in his Mondeo out of the drifts and charge him a tenner for it

(I would be!)

Bonus this morning as i went out on the yard thinking i may have to sling the other gearbox in as my gearstick had gone all floppy (Oooo missus)
Turned out to be a collar on the base of the stick was knackered. I swapped it out for my spare gearstick & it is tighter than a penguins arse now

Note to self though, Don't hang on to the gearstick whilst off roading

I've done plenty off little jobs this week & am happy it's ready for the next off road session.
Hopefully I'll remember to take my proper camera this time & get some decent shots.

First thing in the morning though i am going to look at an Austin A40 my mate won on Fleabay today. He has the option to back away if he don't like it on sight & it's only down the road at Coventry. Looks great in the pics & still looks pretty straight & standard, even in the classic light blue still. No tax no seatbelts it will be Superb fun pottering around in that.
I'll get some pics in the morning & let you know whether he gets it or not.

Spent 80 minutes driving to the Desert in Mansfield today only to get turned away by the old bill. They were cool & explained that it's the chavs on bikes that's the problem & once they are sorted they won't deny access to Road Legal motors & sensible people.
Ended up going all the way back to Ellistown/Ibstock. So i spent 3 hours driving to get to a site 15 mins from my house

O well thems the breaks on an Adventure a

Another two Landys beaten by the Zook

Some Flex for you.

Took a while & the winch to get Craig's 90 out of here.

Stuck but edging out.

Justsomebloke · 02-01-2008, 15:26

More Adventures for the Hinckley Off road Firm.

Going Swimming.

You can see in this pic that the power of the water is pushing the Zook over.

Are you sure
