Thats our minivan in the back of the coach. When i told Rich that i needed to get the van to the Goodwood Revival to have in the paddock and that i was struggling as i had already got two cars to get there, his reply was;

"HOLD ON LADS IVE GOT AN IDEA"

Top men our Rich and Fish Thank you lads

the bus is moving on slowly

it runs and moves again, but is now out of mot - a bit of a problem as it could do with a run to settle down before its retested - im going to have to 'get lost' on the way to the test station i think

however, its decided that im not paying it enough attention so paid me back by developing a faulty master key switch - a real pain to swop, but gave me chance to test my new 'quick release' drivers seat - i can now remove the seat in 1/2 hour from the relative comfort of the cab, rather than as before where the bolts passed through the floor - it was 'interesting' trying to hold a spanner on the nut AND turn the socket at the same time! - a three hour job.....

i bought a new 'top quality' 300amp master key and, guess what?, the red key snapped first time i used it - chinese crap!

its also spunked one of its batteries, so its going to need a new pair - arrggg. the last pair where two months out of warrenty - if it had done it in summer it would have been a free set - instead its another £200.......



still, its handy for storing stuff in

holy massive update!

bus - mot'd - check

new water pump - check

rad fixed + cowl fitted - check

no more leaking power steering pipes - check

can get all gears - check

doesnt use any water - check

drives like a good-un! - check.

went for a 40 mile drive yesterday in it, had a race with a bloke in a routemaster - he lost

stopped in a layby to watch all the classics going past and to have a small snooze



am actually starting to get confidence in doing a few miles in the beast, but someone keeps mithering me to sell it to them........
