Birggie's truck

I spoke to the garage a short while ago, it isn't good news Pete

They still seem to think the noise is either number 3 of 4 big end about to let go. As the garage is well over 100 miles from me there is no way I can get over there and have a look for myself.

We have £149 still left in Briggie's fund and I have received pledges from members here who have offered more if we can see a way forward.

There are two options here, either sell the truck as is and try and recoup some of the loss or, see if we can raise enough to source a secondhand engine and get Pete mobile again.

It would be nice to see this one to the end and get Pete back on the road. Due to the distance I can not offer any physical help but am more than happy to put another £25 in the pot.

If anyone else has any other options please do shout up but, for obvious reasons, time is of the essence here.
