Give the guy a break, Irish....it's taken him a week to write out that list...give that man a nice cool Stella :evil:

Dave,

All you have to do now is swap those two labs of yours for a dozen Dobermans, lay a few mines and wire the car into the mains at night and you might stand half a chance of keeping it :whistle:

Must be worth a bloody fortune by now mate...if it was mine I wouldn't be able to sleep at night :sick:

LOL, no, no engine upgrade, the rocklobster box sees to the gearing issues... it'll still do 70mph on the road, so no worries there... Although I have spoken to Rockwatt about the possibility of a 5.1:1 or 6.1:1 box... Will see how Santa's purse strings are

Next thing to do is a front axle rebuild... there's a slight weep from the front diff to axle seal, and I think it's about time the front wheel bearings were changed... so I've got EVERYTHING in stock ready for the rebuild, just need some time between our greenlaning trips to sort it out...

I sleep soundly at night Gus, it's only worth the sum of it's parts, and it's fully insured... And parked behind two other cars!

No Stella now... Had a couple last night to celebrate the end of Sober for October, but not drinking now until the weekend... that was half the idea of doing it to get me out of the habit of having a few cans every night...
