August 8-9

Post by GQ grannie »

Have decided to end the life of "Purple Pig" the R31 drift pig.RIP.
We are taking the engine, RB30T -well really a VLT and it is going to be put into the MQ stumpy bum after it has been registered for the road.Big headache as the gearbox has to be slanted to fit.So Sunday out comes the engine, have sold the rolling shell and remains.We have decided to sell the RX7 as well, so soon we will be down to 2 4x4s and 1 car, this is the least we have had for years. :oops:

Well went down to the Ngaroma block to check it out for next weekend when the Waikato club is coming down to use it.Some f#%k has trashed the camp site breaking beer bottles allover the camp,burnt the Baque table and seats as well as anything else that would burn or not including the Barbque plate off the gas cooker in a fire on the ground about two feet from the leantos ripped the steel truck rim fire out of the ground that was concreted in,skid allover the new grass pulled the logs out of the way at both ends to gain acess to the camping area,if I find the f#%ks that did this I would like to shake there hands so much there eyes will fall out onto the ground and then stand on them any info would be great as the wheel marks on the camp are MT MUD TYRES that are wide so looks like 4wders that also broke a cv they must have a two wheel motorbike and dogs that they tied up inside the leantos so they could crap in there aswell nice a thanks alot for taking your ROTTEN Rubbish away aswell,thats enough of a moan L8R Dennis
PS these so called humans need some part of there body cutting off so they cant breed from let the breed die out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I find it very hard to understand the mentality of returds ( yes I spelt it wrong but I think it fits ) that do stuff like this ...
It's one thing to have a pissup and leave the mess behind which is bad enough but this sort of shite is very had to understand.

I wished I lived cloaser so I could give ya a hand to clean it up
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

Managed to swap out the standard front springs for a pair of 1600 5-Dr springs in Ashleigh's truck, got the front back up where it should be after it sagged with the weight of the sherman-tank front bar.

Dropped Brittany's truck in at the paintshop to get the front guard repaired, front wheelarches cut and the new paintjob. Hope to have it back at the end of next week.
'89 3-Dr scud. 2" body lift, 2" suspension, Snorkel, 31x10.5's, Evil-daughter chose the paint-job.
