All I did was wash and hoover the beast, and applied some Monster energy decals.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

I took Chugga on a nice drive up to Newcastle today. Was certainly different to Beasty, and coz there's no rear window, makes for a very different experience.

Got in it, started it, drove 3.4 miles and followed an 'Albert' for half a mile. Stopped, turned it off and got out.

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered
)
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

The advisory that I got from the MOT yesterday for slight play in the wheel bearing was actually the top ball joint 
Changed it today. It was an absolute sod to get out. Seperated so that the central spindle just spun when I tried to undo the nut. Managed to get hold of it with a pair of stilsons, so done now. The ball joint had only been on for about 18 months after I changed all 4, with no heavy use and no damage to the rubber etc, typical!!!

Attacked the rear OS brakes all going well till I got to the lower M12 bolt on the bracket, it was rounded of Why OH Why do people put knackered bolts back in
Ended up cutting it out, now need new bolt and bracket
