My New Yee - haw Pick Up Truck

[leeds_182]

Probably goes a bit better with some fluid in the trans too

Dale said it was full.

 

[bashracing]

At some point in its life will have been, just not today

edit, Dale does know you check it with the engine running, doesn't he ?

Dale doesn’t know his arsehole from his elbow.

Couple of shots I took at the motorist today after crashing the Ford day. There was a lot of Ford hats and t shirts on display.

This is the best one so far. You enjoying it?

Yeah, seems to run nice. I’m hoping to go into months rather than weeks for the ownership experience.

 

[Cub.]

That’s a cool truck. 😎

I'll remember this on Thursday when the new owner picks it up and you buy another shitheap from the other side of the country🤣

Saudis have upped oil production based on the C10 usage

 

[botfch]

Apart from the fuel what’s the other running costs like tax, insurance etc?

£200 to insure, free tax, and no mot.

Well that’s rather compelling.

Enough spare cash to replace that hub cap!

I’m thinking about blaming the RAC for that one.

 

[leeds_182]

Last bit of whoring from the weekend.

 

[leeds_182]

I got papped by the motorist photographer.

 

[Howell]

I seen Dale on the weekend, unfortunately he's still in good health.

 

[Matt Cup]

Any pics of the interior?

 

[bashracing]

A bit of sunshine and all the s**t with the RAC is forgotten, I think it out cools the 240 this one.

[Crayola]

Those are 100% for sale pics🤣🤣🤣

 

[SCJM21]

That switch panel just screams EJECTO SEAT CUZ!

 

[Daz...]

That is absolutely awesome, inside and out.

 

[Clart]

What’s the deal with the MOT is that because it’s over a certain age?

Don’t understand that? Surely there’s going to be more unsafe parts on and older car ?

 

[bashracing]

Anything that's over 40 years of age becomes mot exempt the following April,

The official line is that classic cars are better maintained, in reality there was a massive MOT data transfer a few years back and they couldn't be arsed to do all the older stuff ( most of which only exists in logbook form in people's drawers when the scrapped their rusty MK1 escort rs2000).

 

[Cookson]

The police can still take them off the road if they feel they are unsafe though, right?

I am the police.

Proper nonce advert that

Little bonus my lad found in the cig tray in the truck.

 

[_Tom]

I loved finding lighters at that age too.

 

[Touring_Rob]

Should send the image to the bloke you bought it off, but add a wedge of £20 notes to the image, under the image say 'look what my lad found in the ash tray, thanks for the bonus and for all your help when it broke down'.

 

[leeds_182]

Our lass took that photo. I don’t think luca disclosed the lighter. He’s probably self harming in his room with it as I type this.

So they guy syphoned the petrol tank, but left well over a tenner in actual money in the car?

It appears so.

Hot carb rebuild action.

 

[R3k1355]

New jets as well?

 

[bashracing]

Same jets, new float valves gaskets and set the floats to correct height
