rbrtcrowther Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) how much more work to do before we hear the popping and farting of a meadows petrol engine thundering down the road at 39 mph with smoke pouring out the back cos the exhaust has set the rear body on fire:cool2: (it happened to my friend on the way to a steam rally) Edited May 24, 2011 by rbrtcrowther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically still a mountain:shocked: of work but I would like her finished before the Olympics so me and Younggun can use the new running track to have a race ! Trouble is , he's had a practise already according to his recovery video ! No seriously I'd love to be ready for next year but I have said that for several years now so we'll just have to keep at her and see what happens I guess !:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritineye Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Yep, ages ago, then forgot to disengage the drive, good job I had a few feet of rope out when I next started up.:shake: remembered in time..........just Took one tyre off today with that new air tyre remover bought at Beltring, that tool is the bogs dollocks, so quick!

gritineye Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Gave up on the Ruskies, cash needed for daughter's wedding, so going with new bargrips bought at Belters a couple of years ago, one old tyre has a cut in tread, one has side wall cut, noticed one is a Stolly tyre, all a bit brittle, changing now to save grief later.

daz76 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Cor! Daisy's looking fantastic Andy. I don't like to say I told you so, but I'm in no doubt that Daisy will be on the road before Thor. Guess that means I owe you a pint when you cross the finish line first :cool2: Just need to rebuild the Land rover and half the house then it's back to work on the Scammell :laugh: Will she still be called Daisy when she's all green?

Hi Daz , many hours of "pleasure" still ahead before you need to buy that drink !:-D I will always call her Daisy as it is a term of affection given her by her previous owners and I think it suits her ! Plus it could be unlucky to change it and I'm probably gonna need all the luck I can get when she hits the road eventually !:-D Did the pole barn take shape over the Christmas period as planned mate ? Off up my shed now for some more pleasure ! :nut::nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz76 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi Mate. How about Clover? :-D Don't know about needing luck-if i were you I'd be hoping for a lottery win to pay for the petrol! The pole barn's not up yet as the site is being used for the farm at the moment. to be honest with the other work I've had it wouldn't have been done yet anyway. Looks like another good year of work ahead too so I think time at home is going to be very limited. Roll on retirement... Take care mate.

gritineye Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Andy, the bolt through the bellows came undone in my unloader valve, was tricky to diagnose, it needs Locktite, but I'm sure you did that, just checking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
