WELL .... WE HAD ARRANGED TO TURN UP AND RETURN DAVES TRUCK TO WORKING ORDER . WE HAD SOURCED NEW FRONT AND REAR AXLES, COURTESY OF DAVE SMITH AT SPECIALIST VITARA BREAKERS ( SEE FLASH BANNER ON HOME PAGE ). ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS COLLECT THE REAR AXLE FROM DAVE SMITH AND FIT THEM. EASY ........!!!! ..... then errrmmmmmm .... ok we went laning .... well we had to test it out .
I MET DAVE AT THE VITARA BREAKERS EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND LOADED THE REPLACEMENT REAR AXLE INTO THE BACK OF HIS DADS TROOPER .WHEN WE GOT TO DAVES HOUSE, JAMIE HAD BEEN THERE SINCE 07.30 AND THE FRONT AXLE WAS DONE. THESE ARE THE RESULTS OF THE CRACKED AXLE CASING
HMMMM ... JUST A BIT BROKEN!!!!
SEEING AS JAMIE HAD DONE THE FRONT I GOT ON WITH THE REAR ( THAT JAMIE HAD STARTED ) .
THE NEW REAR AXLE WAS STRIPPED DOWN AS WE NEEDED IT AND BROUGHT ROUND , READY TO BE SWAPPED OVER .
THE REAR LSD EQUIPPED AXLE WAS REMOVED AND THE NEW ONE PUT INTO PLACE.
HOW DOES THAT SONG GO " OH YES "... " COS HE'S A DEDICATED FOLLOWER OF FASHION "
THEN WE WENT LANING
NICE CAR ... WONDER WHO OWNS THAT ....
WE STOPPED TO DISCUSS THE SUCCESS RATING OF THE NEW REAR AXLE ...
THEN CONTINUED LANING
NICE TO BE OUT LANING AGAIN .. WE HAD NOT BEEN OUT WHILE DAVES TRUCK WAS OFF THE ROAD
TONKA
WE WERE LUCKY WITH THE WEATHER WHILE WE DID THE REPAIRS AND ALSO WHILE WE WERE LANING
TERRY RIDING SHOTGUN
JAMIE ... AS HE NATTERS ON THE PHONE TO SUSIE ...
TERRY PLAYED GATEKEEPER FOR THE DAY

HERES ONE FOR JAMIE ... WE HAVE HAD SPOT THE SQUIRREL ... IN THIS PHOTO THERE IS A ROBIN , CAN YOU SEE HIM
