22 September 2011 - up and running

OK Mr Slow has put nowt up here for months due to work, fiddling with Trig's and the arrival of a baby girl so I have some excuses I s'pose?

Out of the 'butt list'....

1.Modify the exhaust to tame it down a tad? - I have bits but have't got to this yet
2.Fit an interior light - aaaah no.....not yet.
3.Change tx and main gbx oils - Done this !
4.Number plate bracket to be fabricated - and this!
5.Reduce the engine vibes at tickover. Engine and gbx rubbers? - cross this one off for now as I seem to be getting used to it?

A few new ones though....

6. One of the rear brake lights has an intermittant fault so a new Lucas 488 is on order
7. Smiths heater fan is rubbing inside the casing
8. Rear hub bolts worked loose the other day after a 20 mile fast run. Nipped up again but seem to be working loose?
9. Fit interior door handles
10. Fit battery isolator

On Sunday 11 September the local 'chapter' of the Series 2 club arranged a pub meet in Bratton near Westbury. A good turn out with around 10 S2's in all. Pub meal was followed by a ramble around the Imber perimeter road. (Thanks to Ian Cromwell on the S2 forum for the 'stolen' pics ;)

Trig's is at the far end of the line and the only 109 that turned up

The red flag was for the 'other side' of the road ;)

After our little unscheduled convoy I have decided I need to install the CB that has been sitting in the garage. Without it I cannot hear the bickering behind us!

The unsteady handling on the 7.50 Lassa 8 ply tyres will also hopefully be sorted over the next few days. I plan to get these removed and the 7.50 Bridgestone Wrangler radials that came with the 109 re-fitted to the LWB rims.
