niiiiiiiiiice welds matey! electric fan is on my list to do! i believe it frees up few horses from the engine by removing the old belt driven unit. is that right?

 

[306 sam]

Hey haven't heard from you in a while. what was happnin this evening with all the chavs parking in the road and revving engines and the dangerous driving? i swear i saw you driving accross the village green.

 

[dollydisco]

Sorry guys been so busy!! The beast is back on the road! Yes sam that was me on the village green. Its the memorial cruise for howley, you know howley right. The young lad with the silver polo ?! And not to get arsy. But they're not chavs. So I'd prefer it if you didn't insult my friends thankyou!on a better note , will upload pictures tomorow!

 

[Mr Noisy]

looks kinda hot roddy with them road tyres on

anyway, liking your work!

 

[dollydisco]

Lol nice..yeh they were beeping,and hanging out of windows, and revving them up. And yeh I was the one who organised the whole thing. And Ithink you'll find that Nobody called the police,and besides,they already knew because I'd told them.pretty much everybody in bletch knew what it was for. So, before you upset any of his family. I would shut up about it and stick to what this forum was made for.

 

[alex8882]
