all cause of a tractor engine.....
but seriously, good to hear you are in one piece.....that car had better cure cancer or some shit after this
oh what keen eyes you have huw... LOL.
finally got it running sorta good....ish and looking good with new rear springs (thx muncher!) and fixed back and fender mirrors and shit.
8's fit oh so good now with the shortened hilux.
then on the way home just out of balh, at the sweeping left before the big downhill, i get some tramp and smash the mounting bracket welds on the diff. yes, so just imagine your rear axle only held in by one of the 4 link bars and just the swaybar. whilst going round a sweeping downhill at Warp Speed 9.
Big, wide, wrong side of road slide, then had a huuuuuge tankslapper most of the way down the hill and nearly speared into the trees/armco a couple of times whilst washing off speed and trying to regain control.
i thank jesus himself that no-one was coming the other way or else i would have killed them and myself.
fucking BIG brown pants moment. would have made the news for sure if id binned it. ive had "moments" but nothing like that at this speed*.
not cool. not cool at all very lucky not to "accidently an hero" (4chan joke)
diff now has movement about half a foot out of either side guard.. depending on which way i corner. nursed it back to work. threw away my soiled underwear.
got a mate who's fucking primo at welding shit so gonna reweld and brace this motherfucker PROPERLY... already had upper 4 link bars snap in the past and kinda do the same thing.
fucking car, seriously its one thing after another. cunt of a thing, actually considering selling it and going mental on the wags instead...
but its absolute bullshit fun when its running sweet. and the scalps it claims are priceless but it just doesnt last long in between breaking shit. Or breaking down.
* oh yeah and kiddies, speed does kill. if i were going a respectable speed all this would have been a laugh, but at warp speed things are all over in an instant.... instant death that is.

Spotted a blue with black roof E7 wagon on angus road coming the otherway, gave a wave got one back
anyone here? looks cool
spotted grey/silver/porn levin in the city. had black wheels of some sort.
also spotted a green trueno up greenhill rd, gave you a flash and we exchanged super dense gang signs
haha true huw, but a fast tractor. but i dunno about its mystical cancer curing properties tho.
thx for the kind words guys. and nah Kkustom, those semis wouldnt have helped!
a good wake up call for me. you just never, ever know if something will fuck up on ur car and cause havok,
also no need to drive like a total fuckwit (excessive speed) on public roads that COULD have had oncoming traffic.
save it for the track days (or quiet industrial areas at early hours of the morning )
all good. tractor will be out and about again soon.
oh and i keep seeing that red rona wagon with meshies? on front, usually near newton/st bernards road. tidy bus.
yo troy, do you have black stockies on your car??? Seen a red KE70 thrashing it around rosewater yester afternoon???
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR KE25 COROLLA PARTS
