If it rains any more
 
If it rains any more I will have to dig out the stalwart and tax it. I need to shove a diesel in it really because its got a friggin great rolls royce petrol in there that cant do more that 3mpg. Mine still has the swim gear which is quite rare, the army took most of them off to stop hooligans like this getting hold of them.

Bob, that is an awesome video mate ( Raving nutters or what )

No wonder you want a V8 engine in your build if that's what you are going to get up too :D :D

I remember when my older brother bought an Austin champ home, that was fitted with a petrol RR engine.

Daft bugger would walk all the way to our local garage ( 2 miles ) just to fill a can of petrol.
Once he got home, he would stick it in the Champ, p**s about for ages trying to start it.
Once started it wouldn't go untill the enginge warmed up, he'd get it warm & promptly run out of fuel :rolleyes:

Don't remember him ever going more than a few feet in it.:D

Theres better things than a stalwart lying at the bottom of the sea :eek: One things for sure it would put a huge grin on anyones face to have an hour in there. Mind it leaves you a bit beat up and that vid makes me cringe because if you drive over a brick you know all about it.
