It's about time we posted something here. Well exams are over, partying is all but over and now the rally is taking centre stage (about time too). The car looks as it ever did, and other than a few cosmetics is hopefully going to stay that way; other than a set of spot lights and a spare wheel bolted to the roof.
The car achieved an epic 500 mile round trip last weekend and ran like a dream despite the exhaust not deciding to come with us as we left the roundabout, rolling into the middle carriageway and allowing the car to stretch her vocal chords (note to team mates - ear plugs are a neccessity). The 1000 miles was completed this week; all cobwebs are well and truelly blown away. I am satisfied that she is fit and healthy so now it is time for a for a well earned rest while we put together some underside protection (by means of a sump guard and some hosepipe) as well as some routine servicing (new time belt, brakes, plugs and cables etc). The spare panda in the garage is becoming more and more skeletal as it gets packed up in boxes and placed in our boot, so far we have boxed up the distributor, some bulbs, the rear shocks and have plenty more to come... I am confident that it is fully possible to place a complete fiat panda in the boot of another - it's all about the way you stack your boxes.
Comments:
Nice. Welcome aboard lads. If you are good at stacking boxes, any chance of fitting another couple of pandas in your boot for us?
