It's a Niva. You should be happy to have any brakes at all.

Like old Landrovers in that respect then?

That has to be the tamest mum joke on here in years.

pics please

Went to Mataura. Saw cool cars. Took heaps of pics. Will post some when I get organised. Here's a teaser.

I'm still going to go for a look. 

Bugger. Hope it all works out for you.

What's a Rover V8 weigh? Not suggesting that you go this route but I know of at least one person who has in an HC Viva sedan.

As long as it has a flapper thing on top.

Common way in bike engined locosts is to just use the bike gearbox, and run a driveshaft off the sprocket with one of the commonly available adaptors, then use a reversing gearbox.

 

Potentially giving multiple reverse gears like a tractor?

Should we say 10ish at Tulloch Park on Sunday then? Pretty sure I could find some homekill schnitzel or something to chuck on the barbie afterwards.

Thursday has been cancelled this week. Please proceed in an orderly fashion directly from Wednesday to Friday.

Pretty sure it's an age related thing rather than being applicable to all black plate trailers. One of mine (older than I am) came factory with a two pin plug for the lights cable. Single stop/tail and number plate light combo as above. My '71 Wolseley had a two pin trailer plug when I got it too. What year is that trailer? My old eyes can't quite make out the text on the rego label.

My dad's first car was a Standard Ten. It was so rust fucked that he was afraid to wash it. I didn't even know that washing cars was a thing until I was nearly five and we got a new car.

Looks like a Standard 8 or 10.

Go save it ya dick.

Pic of your vehicle parked near a big cabbage tree while you eat your picnic lunch by the tree. Bonus for OS picnic hamper, thermos, wooden folding chairs, etc.

As seen in this thread.

No idea why that pic of Shuzzy's bees came up. 

Picture taken just before when I went to feed out. Is actually warmer here than that pic makes it look. I put on a woolen hoody cos it was raining then got too hot and had to take it off again along with my shirt.

Inspirational pic

Is altering the chassis rails as on this example an option you could easily pursue?

I gave one to a mob of pigs to play with but they didn't seem to enjoy it much.

You don't have sand mats then?

Next challenge?
