Need to Make an Exhaust.

Need to Make an Exhaust.

My homemade exhaust fell off on my way home from Sixpenny Handley.
It had been on for around two years, but with vibration and engine shaking, it cracked and fell off.




I've made another one out of odd bits of an old exhaust pipe and I've used a bit of flexible pipe in between.
Hopefully, this will help stop the cracking and breaking.


We'll see how long this one lasts.


More to follow.

A bit of a Clean Up.

Off Road on Salisbury Plain.

So after spending a weekend at Sixpenny Handley the Series got a bit DUSTY. 
Incredibly dusty!

A group of us went for a drive over Salisbury Plain. It was great fun, but for the dust. The weather has been incredibly hot for weeks and everything has been drying out. Including the Wet Mud Pits that we would normally take a drive through. These had turned to Mud Pie instead of being a splashy mud run. No matter, we trundled on and on and met up with the British Army, who were out in Tanks and Big Trucks. They, on their own, managed to create an enormous amount of dust. So gradually throughout the day, the dust got thicker and thicker over everything in the Series. 

Time for a cleanup, as I have to load it up for the Series 2 Club International meet at Rutland Water.






I have already washed the outside.

Yesterday, I drove up on my Ramps to get the front up in the air, thus creating a rearward slope out the back. Out came the jet wash and washed the back out. Loads of crud flowed out to the tailgate and onto the block pavers below. All the other bits and bobs that was laying on the floor got a wash as well.

Today, I have been mostly cleaning the cab out. 
I actually cleaned the inside and outside of all the glass.
As like I did with the rear, I took everything out of the cab and clean all before putting it all back again. Everything is looking clean for once.
