23 of us went for a run out around Garelochhead. This is the scenic stuff, others had a closer encounter with the mud and tree stumps !

Thanks. I didn't paint it this colour, in case you were wondering, it was a recovery vehicle across in Fife for most of it's life (Chas Davidson, Buckhaven)

I'll be keeping an eye out for green lane runs in the new year - and may even get the steering a bit more 'accurate' by then as well :-)

Like what you have done to her real nice love to see what additions you added inside too?
Anyways I having to go and see if I can fix my poor engine it may be to sick to recover as on drive home she lost all power and chug to a halt but with full revs I just managed to get her home, suspects are block oil pick up, knackered fuel injecters and what I hopping its not is blown head anyways Saab first then onto her laters.

She has 2 VW seats and a BIG heater in place of the middle seat, other than that pretty standard. Can't spend too much time on her as need to get the LWB project moving forward (along with far too many other projects!)

Good luck with engine, hope it's nothing too costly.

What would we do without the internet? I sometimes think about driving to Dalkeith to pick up parts and then realise postage is cheeper than the petrol.

well as per my mind set of what might be wrong i have had a good start today in finding out, 3 of the injectors that came out look rusty and heads black , 3 of of the 8 tappets needed reset, oil drained plus filter removed in prep to take sump off and have a look at the oil pump/clean fix and after checking all my gasget kits not one contained a s
sump gashet!! oh bloody brill. so ordered two of ebay. arrive in next few days. so mays well have a good clean and clean up of everything while i have the chance and drain and fill all oil areas.
anyways sorry for spelling
