ChrisB Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 THURSDAY 25th JULY 2019 Drove to Buckinghamshire stopped for fuel just east of Cambridge. Don't see that temp in the car often. FRIDAY 26th JULY 2019. Yes, OK, I know I say every year that I am not going to The Game Fair ever again but I am addicted. Seemed smaller this year and better. Gunmakers row much better. At Hatfield House again. They seem to have settled on Hatfield and Ragley. I think Blenheim and Harewood was a better choice. SATURDAY 27th JULY 2019 For a Bucks man I have never been to Stow.

BroadAmbition Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 G/box let go. It was booked in next week for bearings and the like, now however it needs a full exchange box at £1300 inc vat and labour. Van was due to have about £600 spent on it in suspension / brakes at the end of this month, then a timing belt change another £300., 2 x new front tyres £200 So total to get it back on the road now stands at around £2'300. Van ain't worth that and I would be running on an engine that has now done 180'000. So it's time for an upgrade. Dive down back of settee for a few coppers and lets see what we can come up with, in a hurry too. Griff 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to cobble the brass together Griff Good vans those Transit Customs, a couple of years ago I spent 10 days or so driving a base model one in support of a Lands End to John O Groats cycle ride - bascially spent 10 hours a day in it - very comfy, really nice to drive with a great gear shift and I found the cab had some really nifty storage solutions too! Now how reliable they are I have no clue... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
