Mmmmmmmm, did I manage to kill it??? If you class two conrods out the side of the block when heading into town, on the Hutt Motorway, at 7am on a Friday morning, just before the BP as killing it, then I guess I did.............

This is what happens when curly takes it in for a warrent







When I had it, it was in quite a bad state. The bolts on the centre diff had come loose and muched the diff and the housing, but I fixed that and then the motor blew, so fixed that and a few other things and it got a warrent. The exterior wasnt so flash, but the interior was quite nice. Then it got part traded with a guy in napier (who tidied it up and it came up quite nice) then it came back to welly.

Did you have it before or after it went up there?

[curly12]

And I wasn't impressed by the attitude of the police officer who showed up either.

It was not like I planned to cause a traffic jam on the hutt motorway in peak hour traffic

The funny part was watching the people I know laughing as they drove past on the other side of the motorway
