At bloody last - ricer is gone

[B'stard Child]

Yesterday at lunchtime my cat lost one of his favorite places to sunbathe



The trailer got loaded





And off I went

68 miles later - FTO off and something with less wheels loaded on



I think I used enough straps



I have a space on my driveway........

OK a space that will take a car

Is the Kwacker for your use BC?

Sort of (hopes Mrs BC isn't brousing PH) - it needs a bit of work - hopefully it should be easier to sell than the FTO and it will be certainly be easier to insure £80 v £800 which was the best quote I got for the FTO (bloody imports)

It joins the other bike project I've had for 14 years - still not finished - oooooops

So you swapped one ricer with another!

Hmmmm you make a good point

Funny that because I grew up with Honda, Jamaha. Kawasaki and Suzuki motorcycles - there just wasn't any alternative so I never regard them as ricers in the same way I look as cars from Japan. The FTO from memory is the only J-Car I've ever owned

Fantastic stuff Ian.. now you've given me yet another excuse to come and visit

Get it on the road and let's see where we end up

Better get another one for your missus

Just don't go with FH to get milk - if you value your marriage

Hmmm Marriage done that - didn't end well - Been with Lisa (AKA Mrs BC) for 22 years and marriage hasn't ever come up in conversation.

Good thing is she has early onset of alzheimers and if she asks me to go and get milk she'll have forgotten she asked by the time I get back

Hmmm I'm doing well this year

Today I no longer own this



Shame it doesn't gain me any space on the drive

Two years ago Mrs BC's Nephew got hit up the rear by a lorry in his Polo and it wrote it off and he needed a car in a hurry but didn't have any money as he's an apprentice so I leant him the Polo and said he could pay for it when the other parties insurance sorted him out - two years later and with a week to go before the court case they folded and coughed up - he's now paid me for the car he's been driving around for 2 years

Excellent news
