Re: 5th feb- 7th feb
rocked up to rex's. Stared at the pieces of antiquated zukes laying about the property, tried to fit some 33's into the Commodore, generally took the piss, fed Dan up on chocolate, the wife spent some time playing with rexs ginger pussy, and came home via the Rangiriri hotel.
Popped a plate over the new tailpipe to hopefully give it some semblance of protection.
Took it for a blat out on the open road to see what difference there is now with a nice clean (about 2 years since i last cleaned it) filter and the exhaust. Theres definately some more pep there, but the noise will drive a man crazier than having to read Coxys posts and trying to understand them.

All fixed now..turned out to be a fusable link piece of wire thingy at the back of the holder.....had to take half the dash out to get to it.
Re: 5th feb- 7th feb
Did the rear guard chop thing as the new 35x12.5 Kumhos have a slight contact issue with it. Went from 35" across the wheel arch to 40".

Re: 5th feb- 7th feb
After finally getting my steering quickener fitted yesterday thought I should take it for a test drive.
Went across behind home and the farmer told me about a new track and swamp to play in
turns out its a mix of bottomless and big holes in the firmer stuff (original old drain I think) End result a couple of up hill winches to get up then young fella goes we have to go back that way too, so 2 more winches downhillish and we were back on the track. Truck now covered in swamp mud. Bottoms clean though cause we had a play in the river on the way out. (All OK cause they have a digger in there dreging it)
Oh yeah quickener is mint bit heavier but 2 turns lock to lock v 4.

I completely forgot about the show today otherwise i would have gone!
Nextweek is the british car day i think
Only one other vehicle as below, a huge turn out, all sorts and ages and a beautiful day for it. Didn't take any others as there were just too many.
The Jeep was running a Ford V8, twin ARB lockers etc etc
