No, it was too enjoyable

LOL, I shouldn't be too harsh, he was a nice guy

Oh , and proof

That is the bestest picture ever :thumbup:

even better than my wedding pictures :lol:

Nice pics and vids guys :thumbup:

Thanks for a brilliant day yesterday guy's. I did make it home after getting it stuck in the bloody hole's that "LANDY" left! :wtf:

and then cooking it! :twisted:

She never missed a beat on the way home but i will have to sort out that oil switch. :yawn:

Well i only managed a couple of photo's so i better add them for you to look at! It was a great day out with great company! Thank's again lads :clap:

Nothing special today ... but did use it to go and pay for Mrs RatCav's new-to-her car. Not a 4x4 and felt slightly dirty buying it. However it was a good opportunity, and should hopefully be reliable enough for her to get about seeing as she is going to be doing a lot of driving around the country with her new job.

2002 plate VW Passat saloon on a private plate. 62,000 miles on the clock with full VW service history. It has had a slight bash on the front corner, but has been repaired. Comes with the 2.0 litre 20 valve 130ps petrol engine c/w manual gearbox. Working air-con and the usual electric gadgets. Interior is immaculate in stylish black, but the body colour is a bit naff, but beggers cannot be choosers at the money:

Only a couple of things need doing. The boot lock solenoid doesn't work so a trip to the scrappy shall be in order, I need to fit a set of reversing sensors so she avoids the entire "blonde female reversing" issue, and VW apparently can fit the cruise control system for peanuts.

Does mean that once I have fixed a few issues with her old Astra we shall be Vauxhall-less for the first time in about 9 years :cry:

as that will be up for sale.

Me and Kieron Jet washed it, well its not got any clumps of mud under it, the body works still a bit minginging but the running gear and chassis are clean for the MOT next week

Nothing practical, just been driving it around, remember the days(few years ago) when you just got in the car for a drive? Well that's what we did 200 miles later and we get home :shock:

Was a nice day, remember why I used to do it all the time :lol:

JUST GOING FOR A DRIVE!!! :shock:

you must be so rich!!!! :snotty:

Rich???!!!???

Nah diesel :lol:

Thats more expensive than petro :shock:

l!!!!!!!!!!!1 so so so rich!!! was it you that won euro millions then Scott!?? :think:

Thanks to a couple of good friends I finally got my roof lights wired up as I want them. Either on all the time, off or on with main beam. Well happy and bee mount and set them up on the road tonight and serious wall of light lol.

Truck is really starting to look just as I want it.

Trying to figure out best place to put rear work/reversing lights now and then get them wired in. Suppose last few jobs now is to improve the body armour underneath, get some plus 2 shocks and maybe think about some sort of winch?

Gotta love the old girl though

Cheers
