    <font color="red">It's been a while since I posted. What with shifting and getting sorted out I have been pretty busy. But I managed to get some time away for a few days and called in to where the modified is stored (about 3 hours drive) and we got it running. It is real LOUD with the single pipe. Gunna have to spend some time on the muffling of it. We only had it running for a short time and the cops turned up. No problem. [​IMG] You Kiwi HAMBERS will see it driving at Kumeu.

    <font color="red"> When I left the nephews where the car is he had a smile on his face a mile wide. He has this week off work so he says he should have all the small details done before the end of the week when I have to go back up north to pick up the grandaughter so with a bit of luck it should be ready for a test drive [​IMG] [​IMG] </font>

    bugger I am missing Kumeu as I will be in the US at a trade show I was looking forward to seeing your wagon
     
  11. <font color="brown"> Well done south of the Bombay's Boy!
    Perhaps a group pic of the Kiwi HAMBers standing behind it at Kumeu on Sat. midday outside 55olds88's site??
    Or a piccy of me driving it out the gate headin' for my garage... [​IMG]
    Damn, what a blast Alfster!
    Can't wait for a drive myself. I will sweep my garage floor before you park it in there...
    The epoxy grey floor will contrast just nicely, TY.
    I will also bring you money... and I have a few stickers from Roothawg to share that Humboldt Cat and SJ Fast sent him for us. Also some posters and stuff to read about Bonneville.
    We are going to be busier than a busy thing.
    Hope the weather will be nice [​IMG]
    Later,
    Cruisin'

    Sat Midday ya say, with any luck you all can be there, I know I will be, hopefully with a new tyre or two (lost one on the Motorway out of Tauranga yesterday !!) and a rapidly emptying trunk of goodies, with any luck I might even get away to run off some pics.
