Speaking of commuting in the Haynes, I strapped an £8 ebay camera to my front grill for the drive home last night to see how good/bad it was:

Wow looks like fun.......
Looking at the vid I guess the she handles very well? Sounds awesome to, guess the wire wool fell out somewhere along the line  All I've got to say is Lucky Bugger... can't wait to get mine on the road now.

I thought it looked a bit pedestrian in the video - it feels loads faster when you're actually in the car. Could have sworn I driving twice that speed! I haven't sorted out the stripes or wheel yet, but they're both on my growing list of things to do. I'm a bit skint after IVA/Insurance/Tax and trying not to spend any more on her for a while Quote:

To be fair I did edit out the 15 minutes of queuing at either end, and a load of long boring bits. Not the best quality, and does some odd things at times, but I certainly can't complain for 8 quid - it even came with a load of different mounting brackets! Quote:
I was surprised just how well she does handle, particularly considering I haven't really done any suspension set up yet! Seems to have tons of grip too, even on the donor tyres. My first lot of wire wool did actually fall out all by itself on the way home from IVA! Had to re-pack it for the re-test, and when I checked it afterwards it had pretty much turned to dust and crumbled away. I've currently got the dB killer in, and it's possibly a tad antisocial. Tried briefly without and I thought my ears were going to bleed  Quote:

No pic, but my repaired propshaft just turned up.
Hopefully pick a new diff up tonight and I can start putting her back together over the weekend.
