Found the Battlebus, started it (just), dragged it home, and filled up the electricity bottle.
Never knew they did a Zaffy Hybrid. Next it'll have a Mr Fusion fitted!

Dont you just hate it when stripping a wire near the sunroof you slip and gouge a mark into the headlining   :-[  Then try and rub it out making the mark worse with dirty fingers  ::)

Drove it to a fancy hotel and test drove the Tesla Model S P90D with Ludicrous mode. Then drove home in a very sedate-feeling BMW.

Very expensive milk-float, paid for by the owner making millions by avoiding tax in various country's, then investing in, large scale battery production, that decimates, natural resources, then there's the green house gases produced, by the generation of the electricity to charge them up.
and my ol V6 runs on petrol, an organic product produced by old rotting,dinosaurs and composted trees. :y

Most of the Tesla charging points are solar powered, but don't let that get in the way of a good rant ;D

Prepped two new wishbones ready to fit tomorrow along with new drop links and track rods...

Will be followed by four new tyres and set up.

New wishbones are Febi ones... not continuously welded as pics implied, but as below...



Whether they would be more or less suitable for polybushing, I wouldn't like to say, but fitted bushes seem of reasonable quality... so have left in place.

The sun, ain't that nuclear or somefing? and it ain't green as I recall its bright yellow and the last Tesla I saw was not green but white ;D
2.5V6 Had it since 2002, what a beast, worth the time and effort to keep it road worthy. Vauxhall bring them back!!! Laser timing kit for OOF member hire

I'm sorry, all I heard was "Very.." as I did 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.. :P ;D ;)

Fitted new wishbones, track rods and drop links. Then took it to be set up and have four tyres fitted.

Apparently HiFly are Blackcircles budget tyre of the week ::) Then paid £59 for them to remove ten minutes of toe on one side >:( on which basis, I simply cannot recommend Broadbridge Heath Garage for wheel alignment  :-X

Washed it, took some pics and popped it up for sale ::)
