Default Low mileage!!

I pulled the speedo head apart yesterday, the odometer was faded beyond recognition but after pulling it apart and looking at the numbers either side it has only 983 miles on the clock (before it was disconnected or stopped working). Have now hit the road for a few days on holiday with the family.

Default A few shots from the airshow

So I put in a few long days prior to the airshow and got the carrier to a presentable condition, still have a bit of work to do as gearbox has a rumbling input bearing and theres a bit of tracking at the dizzy thats causing it to run like dogshit, although prior to tracking it did sound pretty good as I got some exhaust pipe bent up replicating the Tekapo exhaust conversion. whilst doing a few laps of the track on Sunday morning I threw a track doing doughnuts (cos everyone was doing them). Enjoy the photos.

Default couple more photos

I need to take a few links out of both sides as after a bit of driving the tracks loosened up quite a bit, the camera on the gunners armour was to record me doing a bit of driving (may have captured some choice words as the track fell off) . The other photos are of the carriers lined up on Sun morning then later that afternoon prior to the battle, last photo is my son keen as to go for his first ride off road in my carrier, not sure who had the bigger grin him or me.
