Home at last, although the latest run at a warrant wasn’t a success. More welding to be done unfortunately. However, it’s good to have her home so I can, at the very least, play around with a few things…- 10 replies

Funny, when Karl mentioned "Coast" I immediately thought Kaikoura.... Happy to go either way TBH.

And more from @- i5oogt - Going all jelly with anticipation. The Bride tonight offered to swap it for the Golf as Daily Driver/Work Hack. Politely informed her what equestrian mount she could leave on. -
Pics?

I think any OS trip to Ferrymead was waiting for Spring....so yes, we can sill organise that as well.

I think I've found the destination for the next OS Tram adventure.......Ferrymead has several working examples of telephone exchanges dating from the 1920's. Lots of clanking spinning bits while you can prank call each other on rotary phones.

Currently losing sleep over wheels for my Sierra, what are the deets on yours? (tires, rims, offsets etc) -

What, an update you say? Well, okay...... After many many miles (trips) in the Sierra the time came to front up for the WoF....and as expected, things werent overly flash.....lots of rust in weird and unusual places making it a health hazard to both those on the road and those inside. And probably to Albanian children as well (somehow). So for the last wee while she has been out at "The Farm" where @JustHarry has been working his magic on it (most usually when he's lost the will to live or wants to take out his anger on something). Noises are being made about it (hopefully) being ready soon for another crack at this mad WoF thing, we await with bated breath. On the minus side, Harry has found rust in a few more previosuly unseen places so it might be a bot terminal. But Cest Le Vie, lets just drive it like we stole it until the WoF guy says we cant (on its 2 litre Pinto and 3 speed slushbox) then go find another one. On a whim I splashed out on these. They are from an ST170 Focus but I fear there might be some shenanigans needed to get them to fit (if at all). For the record they are 17x7/ET49 (and that offset is probably the killer) with some 215/45 feet on them. Now I've read lots of conflicting stuff on the interwebs about what people have got to fit and what didnt, so I guess the best we can do is strap them on and see. Maybe some 205/40's might be better, either way i can see guard rolling in my future. Watch this space... -
You do realise what forum youre on, right?

Its like going from Dos 3.3 to 5.0....

No, seriously outbid in my current state of OS poverty. And I agree about the paint. I dont even think thats a real colour. -

Theres one on the Tard at the mo, but slightly out of my league....still tempting to drop the running gear into the Estate though. -

Christchurch Meet - Ferrymead Tram Barns (Now Thus 21st Jan)
EpochNZ replied to EpochNZ's topic in South Island Region
After some of the feedback tonight, I’m thinking next time we do this (and there will be a next time) we will put it on a wee bit earlier so the kids and middys can come for a ride as well. -

That would work really well during one of the big full park open days they have every now and again. I'll pass the idea up the chain of command. -
