[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Yeah, new recon engine, stage 2 clutch, new alternator.
Came to 1k. And Im fitting it with my mate who knows f**k all about engines FLOL.

Might have to have that DCI 100 of you next year, I have a few plans to make something crazy

EFA

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

He'll be lucky to get there without it breaking down,
i'll more than likely have to follow him just in case.

Tools and easy start in my boot , if it don't start I'll get any to fetch it. Btw the jag runs.... Sort of lol, it ran off on the ram last week , slipped timing chain... Ouch

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

EFA

swedish power .....

 

[DaveDreads]

I wouldn't mind helping on the Capris Consul restoration, that thing's cool as f*ck,
do you think Andy would be alright with me lending a hand on tear down?

It would be a good way for me to learn the basics on a carb'd classic.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Didn't know it was up there when you took the mondy?

Engines not being stripped unfortunately. It's all original engine so the guy don't want it touching.

I'll ask him when he's back from his hols. Sure he won't mind. Aslong as his tools go back in the right draws haha

 

[DaveDreads]

Oh, it was the engine side of things I was interested in. :dapprove:

Didn't know they came with an original V6, thought it was a replacement for the stock engine.

It's the coolest UK car i've ever seen, shame the UK wasn't ready or swooping lines and 50s style fins.

Looks exactly like this one, same colour as well.

Flol is it that bad Dave? i thought it was fixed?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Half fixed. Hence the new engine going in

Yupp v6 as standard. f**king sounds insaine when revved on choke :evil:

Rwd 4speed. Quicker than an rs to 60mph. No joke.

Chris's one is purple with a white roof mate

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Wasn't far off the colour then Dave. Lol

 

[DaveDreads]

The one in the garage is sky blue atm, purple is the colour it's being resprayed.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

It's not you fuckwit , I am not colour blind. The paint on it now is white purple, with glitter clear coat, not original, the receipts are for a custom colour.

Still don't know if chris has choose what colour to do it lol

 

[DaveDreads]

Could have got the same effect with plain sky blue paint tbh.

Unless Andy's shop lights give out a weird colour cast?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

When he's back we'll both go up and argue about the colour

Probably is the s**tty tube lights giving different shades

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Here's a debate about colours! Was mr beans mini green or yellow? I say lime green

 

[DaveDreads]

Austin Citron Green! :approve:

 

[MartinR]

poo green

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Austin Citron Green! :approve:

Which exact paint code ? I have 3 colour chips for citron green

 

[DaveDreads]

What am I Rain Man?

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

LMAO, weather forcast please

The code is easy. AFAIK , I have asked a stupid question, beans mini was faded

 

[Thrust-Rated]

It was green though yes? My mate always debates that it is yellow. And I say it's green

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Colour chips says green on all three.

There was the argument that nissan marinello yellow was close back in the day but it looks miles off on the chips

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

anybody fancying doing a west midlands go-karting day some time when the weathers better?

theres a few around us lot, one iv been to thats a big outside track with twin engine karts.... altho i cannot remember the name lol

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I will come along yes but doubt I will take part.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

tophole!

i'll get looking around for a few idea's, thinking of april may time as the weather is too cold for blasting around outside atm.

 

[MartinR]

I will come along yes but doubt I will take part.

Pussy:rasp:

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Ha! Bring it on then! I'm just warning you, my legs stick above the wheel either side.
I may be able to press your pedals upon passing you too

 

[mharvey]

Yeah me and don spoke about this a while back. Not been that long since we had the last go karting I don't think but leave it with us and we'll arrange It amongst other summer activities haha. Was a great turn out last time.
next time we're banning the two lads that turned up in full race suits and kicked our arses haha.

You mean the 2 locals who had been on that track a shitload of times and were essentially hustlers!

Oh, and the no good who punted me into the tyre barriers and made me lose my visor and suffer pain! :race:

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Lol sounds like a grudge match tbh

 

[Thrust-Rated]

I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time. Go karting isn't for me. I just drift everywhere thinking I'm doing well then come last

 

[MartinR]

Ha! Bring it on then! I'm just warning you, my legs stick above the wheel either side.

[Thrust-Rated]

That's me!

 

[mharvey]

That's me!

It's not!

He may be the same size but he can grow facial hair

 

[Thrust-Rated]

You didn't notice my beard last night then? took 2 weeks to get this far too

 

[MartinR]

I haven't been one yet ! Really looking forward to coming ! I don't know if you've done one close but stoke or surrounding area ? There's billions of pubs here !

 

[mharvey]

Yeah we did the stoke area about 3 meets ago, it was a place Mike suggested.

Be good if you can make it regardless of location and then we can look at doing stoke again soon.
