Happy to be back on the road :D

I finally got my car back on the road again and I must say I'm loving every minuet of it  
I have not realy had chance to drive the car since buying it due to having a small catastrophe when the piston ring land failed  
I just fitted a replacement engine which I purchased from pulsarpaul (thanks Paul ) the engine is spot on and now the car is running mint   then only problem is I have used over 3 quarters of a tank of fuel in two days   oops!  

You can make it run nice .....but you can never stop it from drinking like a fish 

Cant belive you have it on the road so soon mate, how long did it take him to get engine out.?

I am so pleased for you Bill, I didn't think you would be up and running so soon, well done

yep glad you finally getting the chance to use her bill and well done for sticking with it and not giving up as some do.
it wont be the last problem you encounter rest assured on that but hopefully youll have a good trouble free run

The guy did the swap engine swap in one day, I was supprised how quick he did it and happy that I could enjoy a few decent days weather to take her out for a good drive


Hopefully I will stay trouble free for a while. it's been good to show a few friends why I have bought the car and why I stuck with it even when it let me down. I think all my friends have been supprised with how well she shifts and I've not exactly been pushing it hard, I've just been opening her up but taking it easy because I still need to get used to actually driving a 4wd car the only 4wd drive things I have driven have been trucks and jeeps and a farm quad lol.
I'm loving the grip from all four wheels but I'm inexperienced when the grip runs out in a 4wd drive car so I'm taking it easy, I don't want to be smashing it up straight after getting it back on the road  I will pick up how the car reacts quick enough, I consider myself a fairly decent driver compared to your average road user lol, I've been able to drive since I was about 8 or 9 so it comes naturally to me, I have always been a petrol head and a speed freak  lol

Glad to hear the cars back on the road mate, happy motoring
