Diesel can run on veg oil so putting the price of fuel up not really a option. But petrol is a bit harder to make at home.
I suspect that the real threat to landies and other old cars would be the shift away from Dino juice and the scarcity of fuel.
My 2a has just passed it's last mot. But i'm thinking that I should get a expert to give the old girl a yearly safety check.
What is everyone else thinking of doing? I would have thought that the insurance company may want something.
Me and pat also share a series 3 LWB van as a ongoing joint project.
I've gained two girls since then age 3 and 7 so don't have much time for greenlining but I get out occasionally on some of the easier lanes. How about you ? do you still take beginner's out over the back there?
Yep still got Crusty, need a bit of a paint job but she's still sound just passes her last MOT (mot exeptempt next year).
How about you ? last time we met you had a bob tail disco and had just got rid of the "Dibna"?
Well its been 11 Years since I built and fitted this and 30k miles its still working.
I've never had any issues or had to replace / adjust my points for all of that time.
Hi guys
Its been 10 Years since I've been active on LZ and I thought I would start participating again.
So to all the old gang "Daft", Gripper, Slob and Patman etc etc how's it hanging and to everyone else Hello.
Clivees
I have one.
A 109 van body with capstan winch but no MOT.
She is a 3/4 project that's stalled due to family commitments.
She runs and needs a little more TLC (put the seats and floor plates back in and a good service) to make it on to the road.
PM me if interested.
this will be your prob
"I recently changed the front brake shoes and drums for an MoT, which she passed"
I bet your drums are not perfect and general they require a coupe of thousand miles before they bed in. cheep drums take more bedding in.
Not so bad..your self?
Not been contributing for a while just watching but thought I would chip in on this one to save the guys some cash, but hay-ho some you cant help.:)
