[Teapot]

I'm afraid I scratched him ...

At some time last night in the garage the strimmer toppled against his nearside door pillar, leaving a 10cm scrape mark.
Then the metal stepladder, which hasn't been moved in six months, also decided to fall on him but didn't leave a mark
I wonder if someone or something was stomping about on the roof?

Considering he has to work carrying stuff now & then he's probably been lucky.



So I took him down to the local Tesco building site to watch the big diggers, dumpers & dozers.



It seemed to cheer him up and later we executed a most satisfactory overtake of a tractor in his favourite gear, 2nd.

i did nothing today sept look at it doing a bit on it over the weekend

[Spud_133]

Cruised to college and had some man wag his finger at me . Also fitted my cigerette ligher, drained some coolant and refilled with antifreeze, and in the process of the previous, found the breather hose was broken, so refitted that. Next, I hoovered out the whole interior, first time since I've had him(!) and finally replaced one of the side trims which fell off. Just need to wash him now. I love days like this, makes me proud to be a mini-er. .

took the door off hit it with a hammer put it back on it now opens propperly - took the wheel off removed the steering arm pulled the driveshaft out by accident put it all bak together again, put gaffer tape on all the sharp edges from the crash so it dosnt tear the cover again. poked a hole through the rust .

Washed it and then gave it a good run on some fast roads. Tried to adjust idle speed by the throttle cable but butterfly is sticking!

Nevermind, it went like a stunner down those roads

[Rabtmac]

Replaced the Accelerator cable with a nice new one and noticed the engine earth strap was almost worn through
So a quick rummage through the odds and sods box and replaced it with some nice new 35mm earth cable
Then took him for a well deserved blast.

Standard break discs, but with Mintex pads.... why does it squeek when I break ? It never did it before.....
