PAIN IN THE....

.......stomach............

had abit of a blow this week, only gone and pulled a hernia havent i! :( feeling pretty peed off as i had planned to do some mods on the spitfire today but cant really risk making it worse! gotta go see the surgeon at some point so thats me off work over winter! owell at least i can stay in the nice warm and cosey house rather than out in the freezing cold! saying that as soon as im up to it ill be working on the spit :D

as i said i cant really risk making it worse this weekend, mainly for one reason, next weekend im going over to prestwold hall to do whats called the euro challenge :D which involves drivin a lambo, ferrari, jag, aston, porsche and a imprezza round the track for a few hours :D should be awsome, so more updates and pics after that!

as i said i was planning on doing some mods on the spit today, this was mainly to get the back end lowered more by drilling new holes in the uprights where the springs bolts on, will still do this but will just be delayed slightly, and still hoping over the winter months i can get the engine moved back and a new mad straight 6 in there too!

and a quick congratulations to Karl at KD Triumph who has recently become a daddy again with his baby boy Jack!

The Jolly Dolly!

few months back now but yup, i now have my 3rd triumph, and green dolomite 1500, the spit hasnt made way for it though this time, its to be used while the spit goes off the road soon for the modifications iv got planned!

bought it and got it through the mot with a new upper and lower ball joint, sorted! since then its just been a new wheel bearing and while changing that i saw the brake disc was cracked, so stuck on 2 new discs and pads while i was at it! bodys in Good nik bar the rear wings which is normal, nothing major, and paints abit naff but will come up better with a polish. but when its a daily who cares?

since iv got a feel for the car now i have to say dolly are great little cars! handle really well (suprisingly !) and are great fun, just need a bit more power.......roll on sprint ;)

anyway heres a couple of kak pics!
