Default Play date at Martyns.....

Well just got back from sunny Lincoln had a fab time at Martyns.. Rang him during the week and asked if there was any tinkering to be had on his carrier, of course he obliged and so Fraser and I drove down to see him. got to change out some track on both sides, watch him strip and assemble a carb and replace his glacis plate, and have a quick blast up the lanes to boot.

i can say hand on heart that Martyns British Mk2 rebirth has turned out well, she drives like a dream, can turn on a sixpence even in third gear and a round of applause is in order for his build. I have got some short movie clips which i will pop up on Youtube and link to here so you can laugh at me.

me driving Martyn having a good chuckle, my legs fully extended could only just get the clutch right in, changing from 2nd to 3rd, but at least i didnt stall her.

(second two are still processing so will add later)

around the back of the sheds then though a narrow gate with that deep breath "Haaaargh" i got through, Martyn still laughing hahaha

and Finally Fraser taking the pee out of me shouting to make sure he was in the back ok before i pulled away..
