Well all I can say is, most of Suffolk is crap for laning, as soon as we got back into Essex, it was great again lol

the only assumption i would have made is as you state, 2 groups, the antis would see different, and im quite sure you are a sensible bunch

Oh really

Then they will be using all the photos from the Salisbury plains trips and half the other organised events on this and most other forums.

If we're not not allowed to park next to each other without offending them, then fook em. Getting ****ed off for being ridiculed for a perfectly legal activity. I always pull right over, reduce my speed to that of a snail, smile and try to reduce my impact on their walk along a road and all they do is scowl.

I was out walking on the footpaths along the stour last weekend. Loads of walkers about and most of them were bordering on rude (must have been my lack of bobble hat). Put simply they don't want to see ANYONE.

Drizz · Feb 24, 2013

Agreed nick! That one bloke today was an arsehole too!

Farrar · Feb 24, 2013

See you had fun!!!!! Wasnt sudbury very good

Drizz · Feb 24, 2013

Sudbury is good but we so then regularly. We ventured more Ipswich/diss way

matthew2riches · Feb 24, 2013

I would just point out that bobble hat wearers scowl at each other!

Thanks everbody for the help this weekend.
The engine swop didn't go to bad in the end. Exhaust took a bit longer than I would have liked.
One of the intercooler pipes popped off on the way home. Just need to change the water pump as it's got a leak & one of the fuel bongo bolts had a leak on the copper washers.
I got home & swapped over the alternator as it wasn't charging other than that, all's good. Just need to put on a new cam belt, oh yeah need to plumb in the oil cooler.
PS It was f**king cold nights sleep. I'm now off to a warm bed. lol

Glad you got it home ok, how did the oil pressure pan out in the end?

How dare you have your sidelights on dan.

Technically illegal to drive with just sidelights on. Another strange law I've discovered whilst doing a million driving courses in the classroom.

Drizz · Feb 25, 2013

Again irrelevant in this situation...

paulesc · Feb 25, 2013

He wasn't driving, he was parked.

Drizz · Feb 25, 2013

Are we actually discussing this lol? Does anybody other than the guy who wasted his time editing that photo actually care?? Lol

Co-Pang-Yang · Feb 25, 2013

Just adding to the conversation cause I'm bored in traffic lol

Am I right in assuming you slept in a freezing cold workshop saturday night then? Your mad you know! glad its all done now though, hopefully we will get to see it in action soon...

paulesc · Feb 25, 2013

Yes, your right I'am mad! :crazy: Still what don't hurt you will make you stronger. No the camping wasn't that great Paul but it's done now, hopefully never to be done again.

I had a great time, despite having to be towed out of a tank trap on 7. Thanks everyone.

That git we passed by the brickworks was just a bit wierd. Coat tied up with bailer twine, a miserable scowl at seeing something other than his ego on a track, and a little dig with the elbow to each truck he passed! Ouch, that really hurt:croc:

Brian S · Feb 25, 2013

With hindsight I would have sped up and watch him hurt himself on my mirror.

Tuskenraider · Feb 25, 2013

Didnt get mine finished off in the end

almost there though

This is it after removing the old axle

Think these might be originals

Just ordered some Adrenalin 4x4 cranked trailing arms and floflex bushes

Should get it finished off this weekend
