MORE TEA ??

You must be bloody joking. we did actually get 1 cup of tea out of fat wallet today. but we wernt allowed a posh cup as i left mine in the shed last time , so we had to use poor peoples cups.. we should all chip in and buy a kettle and make our own tea.. i bet matt would only charge us an extra 20p to boil the kettle.. ha ha ha .

Monk you need to be there for the final photo shoot of the build project. i want to make a video of the test for U TUBE..

SHREK..

Well,

Depends on whether you are playing at it or serious.

From the look of the piccies you are serious....

have a look here http://www.alrc.co.uk/new%20regulations/rbindex.htm

This is what the roll cage is for..

This is under construction at the burton workshops. i will add more photos to the site as work progresses. It should be ready for the leek event.

this range rover used to be a 1969 range rover.. it was in good condition and probably worth a few bob.. now matt has attacked it its worth about 10p. lol.

My Ramsey winch motor was screeching and grinding like billyo so took it all apart to find the bush in the endplate completely worn thru', now being as Ramsey winches are/were American built I measured the bush in the arse end of a Chevy starter motor guessing they may be similar?.

They matched !!, all I had to do was carefully cut the Chevy endplate in 1/2 so the bush fell out.

I now have the old Ramsey sounding good although haven't had it under load yet.

Didn't spend any money just an afternoon in the garage...............perfect.

cheers, i think i can manage that, but it looks like my winch is nackerd, there's a lot of play in the drum and it's making some strange skreeching and grating noises, looks like the bearings have gone,

i like the sound of the new goodwinch TDS goldfish series,
