That's not gonna charge the battery is it?!

This is true. However, years of helping a mate start one of those bloody things when I was younger showed that the battery was very much just the first hurdle!

Forgot my jump leads though so didn't get very far

So I ended up helping with the horses instead

What, to tow the trailer?

Sand school levelled. I think a small tractor with a grader attached may possibly be the best toy I've played with for a while

even better my mum considers this a 'chore' so I scored brownie points as well

Trek across Essex to UK Mail depot, trailer maintenance done, dragged out, hooked up and 1 lude loaded and lashed single handedly then dropped of at jozefsan's for cambelt change and onto car number 2 of the day... 1 cx revived

loaded up and brought home. Several hundred miles driven and 3 cans of redbull consumed

(and yes - that one might also be by the side of the road, but it is the right way round and intentionaly stopped)

Big thanks to Phil for the cam seal and special surprise...

Yeah ,they're pretty good TbH. Only thing about it that's a bit rubbish is the gearchange - long and very whooly feeling... Other than that, better than a disco or such-like (lower centre of gravity and being jap, everything works and nothing falls apart!)

After the last idiot they hired it to for towing burnt the clutch out (it's only done 9k miles!) they're very very picky who they hire it to. I'm in the 'not an idiot' category
