South Yorkshire Mob To The Rescue


ivan the terrible

Recommended Posts

hi all, as title says,,,,, I've been rescued again,,,,,had issues with my kit so Simon B, Dan E, Mowerman and Steamer called round to mine and hopefully and finally got my kit sorted for me, changed dizzy,coil and HT leads, set it all up and got her going, a little tweak here and there and a quick road test, and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,went like a dream, slight bit of hesitation on exelleration, so tweaked the timing a bit, next road test, thought i'd go a bit further this time, took it steady over the speed bumps, once they'd all gone, went round the corner where I usually floor it,,,,,,, so floored it this time,,,,,,,and it did something its never been able to do before,,,,,,,, in 2nd gear the wheels span and the backend drifted out,,,,,,,,,, as I say it's never been able to do it before,,,, SO OF COURSE I WASN'T EXPECTING IT TO HAPPEN,,,, BUT IT DID AND I WASN'T READY FOR ITAND IT TOOK ME BY SURPRIZE (a bit like SHAFT sneaking up on the wife!!!!!) anyway as you may have guessed,, I lose control go up on the kerb and,,,,, puncture the tyre,,,, so a flat tyre and a couple of brown trouser marks I go back home,,,,, south Yorkshire mob waiting and yes the pi## taking starts and will probably go on for quite a while longer,,,,,, I think my user name might change to,,,,,ivan the terrible,,,,,DRIVER,,,, I think now I have a car that is doing what it is supposed to do means I have to now learn to drive one, i'm sure i''m not the 1st to have done this and i'm sure it may happen again, i'll just be ready for it next time,,, anyway i'd like to give a BIG THANKS to the south yorks mob once again, and also a big thanks to the south yorks SWMBO'S for helping andrea on her little project, cheers ivan :) :)

What has been missed out from Ivan's post is that although he span it into a kerb and knackered his tyre......he still came back with the biggest grin on his face!!!!

 

"The cars the fastest it's ever been" I think was the phrase!!

 

 

Thanks to you and andrea for the food and beer, it went down a treat after all that laughing!!

Yes, I agree. A big thank you for the BBQ afterwards and to the great company and chit chat after helping you out.

 

I enjoyed working on an engine again and after hearing how much better it sounded at Hollowell. You just have to learn to drive these all over again (As I found out too :) )

 

Thanks,

Simon.

Well done all, pleased it is now going as it should, as a foot note to all of this maybe time to start messing with tyre pressures if it stepped out as quickly as you say it did. Just a thought.
