Somewhere on a Galaxy Near You......

[twinturbo]

Well I had a good road trip on Sunday, Me and the boy went up to Greenock to collect a V6 Type 9 Gearbox, Prop, Starter, Clutch and Braided Brake hoses for £80

And then we went down to Davey H to collect his chassis and uprights, and bits for Andy and Tatey.

The trip back was uneventful, we had a picnik at a services and were home just after 1pm..




It looks, from that photo... As if I just have one ratchet strap.. Almost true. I only used two.



But I had a cunning plan that worked out almost perfectly.



5 of these clamped the chassis to the roof bars very solid!! they just got in the way when trying to put the chassis on and off the roof..


I could not tell the chassis was there, MPG was hardly hit at all, the 230 mile round trip avaraged 28 on the way there but had droped to 27.5 on the way back. The best you ever get on this car is about 32 after a long long long steady 70mph cruise on flatter roads ( the trip to glasgow is hilly!!! )

The only time we had a problem was when the front ratchet strap started bussing in the wind. A few more cranks on the leaver sorted that..
