Hi
It was a good day out but I had a crap day . Get out there to find the spring on the trailer broken in half and the end lost , first day out for the trailer . Have to say it tows dam fine without it but the diesel zuk gets a bit warm for my liking still .
Second hazzard I drop of the bank and hit the nose , go to give it gas and nothing , look down at the dash and the oil lights on , oh the engine has topped . And thats the last it went all day . Got pissed off and left it there . General consenus is its the fuel pump , a weekness I suspected so had a spare , just on the shelf in the shed and it only to 10 sec's to find it . Will have a look at it tomorrow night and see if I can get it running again , otherwise its going to be used as the base of a bonfire .
Chris
Oh and I get home to find the end of the spring at the bottom of the drive .

Let's see, No breakage's, no rollovers, Ohhhhh and beat Lil Pig, that would have to be a pretty good day then

Wopass is keeping his game average up with 2 from 2 Brakeages that is, drove well with only front wheel drive tho, and then like a real good sort he let me in front in the time section so I got a good start to the trip home. thanks ben. Will post link to photos tomorrow or next day

Wopass, hope you got consent to pull those trees down? Greenies everywhere are writing to their minister of whinging as I type this no doubt.
Heath
Nice driving by the way.

next time i might draw a map
Why do you think I have a co-driver? FACT most drivers cant handle long hazards even at a national level, they can count 4 lots of markers then they get lost, my co-driver is not bad so I like really long hazards and also peg them as well
