As promised the (few) piccies I've got..  my saviour (Kylie) staying in view  Oh bugger she's disapearing....I'm gonna get stuck soon....and I did  Dave (damrabbit) on "that" lane  Dave again  the puddle that Cheekychick nearly lost the CB aerial in  the view on another lane (happy valley i think)  again a few moments later  and again...do you think I'm obsessed?  apparently there is 3 fronteras in front of me? where have the other 2 gone?  apparently Wales is a lot bigger than you think...didn't realise that it was so high. I know that i should have taken more photo's, but I was more worried about how Sweary Mary was doing most of the day. Luckly she only suffered minor damage.... lost a checker plate off drivers step, dent and bent both steps, broke an indicator mounting, bent the towbar electrics, developed a "blow" on the back box Increased oil leak around sump area but thankfully she's still alive and got me home in good time and got me to work and back ok. (sorry to hear that some of you weren't so lucky) I've just watched the video of Sweary Mary coming down "that" lane, and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed soiling myself.  can't wait till the next time...need to do some work first, so we are no longer a standard fronty The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes

Update on the sustained damage to mi standard shorty
bull bars aren't straight any more...mind I'm not sure they ever were...or it could have been because i had to be dragged off a pebble a couple of times..

That will be a semi seizure,not a good sign practically speaking the minimum you are looking at is a re-bore with the associated new oversize pistons & rings,it would also be prudent to to have the head crack tested & skimmed as not all damage is not immediately obvious.
