remember me?

Post by no2lurch »

i have been real busy lately with loads of stuff so i havnet had time to post on here.

i have put a 1800 zetec engine in the HDM, and i am almost finished with the swap. just got to sort a rubbing engine mount and an issue with cold starting. when warm, it flies. torque steers all over the place!

oh, yeh, and i am going to be a dad. fantastic news for caz and i. caz is 12 months gone so we can tell a few bods about it now.Image

...to hear from you Neil, and great news about the little 'un on the way - congratulations. However, if Caz is 12 MONTHS gone, I think she must be having an elephant not a baby!
