Sod's Law has struck again - and this time, it was muddy and cold, with a spot or two of rain!
We got Douglas back on the road yesterday, with his new gearbox (minus o/d for the time being) in and had a really good day running him around the countryside to wake him up again.
So, first thing this morning I was really looking forward to driving him in to work and having a nice potter home after work..but it was not to be:
While manouvering him out of the drive (was very tight given the fact he had 3 other cars to contend with!), we got stuck in the most minute of lumps in the grass and that was it..he was stuck.
"No problem" I thought, going to engage four wheel drive..and then remembered..he has no front propshaft - as Chris removed it when he fitted the new gearbox - as the old one was shot.
So, for the rest of the day Douglas is stuck in the rather unflattering position (resting against a small wall!) in my gateway, waiting to be pulled out by Sophie.
...Next time, I won't take Chris' word that I won't need four wheel drive or a propshaft for that matter!
