  6. Well, well we made it home today, collected the lady from Wayne's about midday, after a very bloody exspensive breakfast - £26.00 for 3 :argh: Seemed like a short trip home, 130 miles or there abouts, it rained most of the way, but she's home. Still got a quarter of a tank left, so from Falmouth to Maidstone £190.00 & still some left. Many thanks to Mark again & I look forward to the next adventure :-D

    New home..

    At the the weekend Mark & myself drove to Falmouth to collect this All in all a busy Saturday night & all of Sunday, due to the GG not wanting to starting after the first petrol stop, we kept her running during the second. Pulledover for coffee, left her ticking over only to notice she had stopped again. This put us back even further, after phoning a knight in green armer, it was agreed to park up at Wayne's yard (thanks Wayne). I dropped Mark off & headed home, got in at 10.30. We had covered 740 miles in the Toyota costing £65.00 :-D, the Goddess was a different story, so far £191.00 to Wayne's yard another 120 miles to go :cry:. It will be worth it. Impressive cruising speed 67 mph, I have attached a couple of youtube links.
  15. Removed the small ram, well not so small or light.. ..had it tested during the week, no problems, even the corrosion on the piston will not affect the seals. Extends under pressure and returns due to its own weight. All parts removed and checked.
  16. Thanks AlienFTM, detailed as ever
  17. The american way of taking your dog for a walk :-D
  18. A great weekend, thanks to Mark for the ride on Saturday in the parade & Sunday for tea :-D THis is a must for next year...some of my pic's, I went for people more than vehicles. Inside HMS Ocelot Two V16 diesel engines, just to charge the batteries..:shocked: One of the tea breaks.. Inside the covered slip way.. Hope you all had a good weekend, hello & goodbye from the sunny south.
