a message to my friends

briggie, I have no problem with whatever decision you make. Have had some difficult situations myself and sometimes its best to draw a line in the sand and move on rather than getting into protracted wranglings and headaches with unreasonable people. Looking forward to hearing what the garage has to say as there is still the off chance this will turn out ok. On a nicer thought, now wouldn't that psi power box and k&n filter for sale by another member be sweet to have under the hood of your truck if the repairs don't turn out to be as bad as feared and there's a few bob left over. Your satisfaction on planting your bum firmly behind the wheel of one of these trucks and enjoying the benefit of some extra tweaking when u give it a bit of stick would surely help in erasing some of the more unpleasant memories of the whole situation.

With you every step of the way, Pete.

Lets get that truck sorted and find out if there are any lanes
worth doing round your way, if not then theres more than
enough in Derbyshire for us all.

Pete, given your circumstances I think you have made a wise decision.

I have a very simple philosophy in life "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (I'm not remotely religious by the way)

Life will sort him out :thumbs

Let us know once the garage has had a look.

 

[briggie]

thankyou , i also have a policy which not many agree with , but i think its true

" it takes more of a man to walk away from a fight "

this person has allready threatened a member of this club with physical violence , and lets not forget , he knows where i live , and is only around 12 miles from me .

Whilst I respect your wishes entirely :thumb2 I dont particularly agree. I love taking on people like him :sly

Who has been threatened ? pm if you wish.

 

[clivvy]

hey Pete, i'm losing track of this lol, is that garage picking your car up??

 

[briggie]

tuesday morning 08.30 and car is still parked outside , but then again , it is absolutely nissing down , and from what i understand they need to crawl under the car to drop the props ,when our lass comes back from work i will " borrow " the disco and pop into see them .

DING.... back in to your corners, time for a cup of tea and then let the second round begin and get your wheels back on the road

cheers Pete, is it worth getting RAC to drop it in for you perhaps??

 

[makeitfit]

I guess this a tow in job then:augie If so surely you only need drop the back prop if it's not in 4wd and you've got auto hubs
Oh yeh, it'll be dry under the truck

 

[wildbri]

Wouldn't putting the transfer box in neutral ( 4x4 lever position between hi and low) disconnect the drive for towing, anyone know? bri

I *think* towing is fine but all 4 wheels must be turning but they wouldnt tow mine to the garage , they put it on a low loader

[zippy656]
