[VXL V6]

Sat in it, stationary, for over two hours on the M40 this morning...

I listened to the traffic news on radio 2 this morning, it sounded like the whole motorway network had ground to a halt.
What is it with all these vehicle fires?

There was two tonight as well, M42 and M40, M40 one appeared to be a coach fire, all the passengers were standing up on the embankment in 8 degrees and thick fog... poor buggers.

They always appear to start around the rear brake area.

Maybe they'd had a daytrip to Brum and stopped off at Moseley for a Vindaloo and the after affects started in spectacular fashion

Refitting the towbar today.... need to drill a hole in the rear bumper for the towbar to poke through... Really dont want to destroy the Irmy bumper though

Have you not binned it and the disc yet

[chrisgixer]

I have now!

Since the rule change i have been "properly" displaying it, where as before it was behind the shaded area of the screen, upside down, with the serial number folded over. Opps em!

It wasn't meant to fall off in the small hours though! Poxy thing

[Sir Tigger KC]

Nothing, but I need to do something with the big pile of parts that I've accumulated other than look at them now and again.

Now the battlebus needs a new coolant bottle before I can use it again.

Seriously tempted not to bother.

I agree!

Very easy to keep throwing money at something....

Its had a reprive, and I'm picking up a new bottle from the dealer on Saturday.

It was lucky, as the Bullet's coolant leak is still too dramatic to use - its costing more in coolant than it does in fuel .

[Kevin Wood]

Rotated the new tyres from back to front, as the fronts had got a bit tram-liney. Back to having some directional stability now.

Glanced at the brake pads and was surprised to note that they aren't too badly worn. The disks, on the other hand...

Realised that the handbrake only works on one back wheel.

[05omegav6]

That's one wheel more than it needs to work on having the wrong gearbox an' all

[minifreek]

Not today but yesterday... refitted the towbar by drilling a 64mm hole in the rear bumper for the towbar to poke through... ah well, I kept the piece that I drilled out just in case it needs to be filled over...

Today - fixing the power wire for the rear camera and the front facing camera so it all work again... pesky kids and their ruddy big feet kicking wires that are carefully hidden underneath seats.... LOL

Yeah, it's just the "stuff" I'm going to have to do for my MOT tester to convince him that worries me. Maybe I'll just fix it.

[cem_devecioglu]
