Event Field of Dreams - Camping weekend 8/9/10 September - Mrs 6C has been preparing home made cider @ 7.3% for the campers/non drivers!

Really gutted not to have come today.

Wrist is loosening up a bit now but still worse than it has been for a long while. Possibly ever.

Will still pop over for a bit tomorrow with my boy and bring this exhaust with me.

Not entirely successful day on the visa engine front. Ruffgeazer managed to get it apart eventually despite my ( and others) help. It didn't want to let the head come off without much fuss though and put up a fight on every bolt!

Unfortunately pronounced deader than a dead dead thing. So 6cyl and gogently went off with a trailer to get another engine.

 

 

It's a very odd design of engine really, placed almost horizontally in the car with the gearbox looking like it's in the sump, although it's not.

 

The one problem with it Apart from the very stuck head bolts was that the liners had sunk and were perfectly level with the cylinder head. That and the fact it had run without water and overheated etc was deamed to be the killer.

 

I made my excuses and left when they came back with a new one!

 

Back home now with a pint of beer.

 

It was nice to put faces to names and play with a car. And we had birthday cake too! Some may think it odd for a man to spend their 30th birthday cleaning a JCB in a field with an en-suite straight out of Deliverance. Luckily none of them are on this website!

Oh, and before and after pics of the inca LNA.

It even has old magazine adverts posted on the walls, and a small shelf for the reading material. Unfortunately it was built by and for someone of six foot three which did mean a little acrobatics in the absence of a urinal- and the seat being screwed down!

I'd kill for some of that cider tbh.

Riding a dodgy moped without lights in the dark while inebriated on home made cider is a pretty exhilarating experience. Recommended!

[chaseracer]

^^ Looks like the Avensis is about to be fork-lifted onto the Alfa's roof at the breaker's!

 

I'm gutted not to be able to be with you lot in that chilly field tonight, warmed by peace, love, and alcohol. 

[beko1987]

Breakfast all round! Hiedel is feeding his dogs haribo Christmas collection..

[bub2006]

Them photos are great! Rhys had a really good time. He enjoyed the avensis more so than the moped. How did the engine swap go?

[beko1987]

It was good to see him! Engine still needs swapping...

[ruffgeezer]

I had to cry off of today as have issues with the parental units, I hope the remaining team are able to marry the old box and new engine successfully!
