Albert Ross Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Well, this is it, a Land Rover diesel engine dangling off the end of it. Took half an hour to put together, excellent instructions, all parts together, wrapped and correct. It's pretty sturdy too, as you can see. It's just awkwardly proportioned for getting in the back of my Land Rover, cleanly, but I will obviously perfect a method, it's only the first day. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Does the crane extend enough to drop that into the river so the boats can moor to it? Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Ross Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 No, but I have been told that I could drop this engine into a Corsa. Through the sunroof. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 When I left school our official 'leaving do' was at a pub in the countryside where the teachers sort of actually allowed us to get pissed. It was brilliant. A fucking school prom. Bugger that. Banger Kenny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rml2345 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 When I left school we had a prom but it felt suspiciously like a leavers disco. This poem made me grin yesterday;Edinburgh had a little tram,It's progress was rather slow.And every time they fixed ten holes,They dug a little more.

CreepingJesus Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Erk...proms. Is that not the orchestral thing at the Albert Hall where people get all dewy-eyed at Jerusalem? Mind you, the last 'prom' I took a kid to, was somewhat enlivened by the sight of some poor bloke trying to turn a stretch Chrysler 300C in a very small space. Several of us told him it wouldn't go in there, he decided otherwise. All because some 12 year old girls had to make an entrance.Eventually, one of the other dads was ordered by his other half to stop being a rotter, and shift his car to help the guy out. Fun over. Well, no; old guy rolls up in a '47 Chrysler, turns it, and deposits grand-daughter without any trouble. 300C driver sweating tears by now...my how we laughed. Made me grin at any rate.
