Slamboo has got uprated springs and corrected arms etc and couldn't really be bothered to change them.

Besides, I prefer red to green.

steve, I couldn't give a hoot as long as the poxy thing ain't on my driveway anymore! After the weekend I'm Sooo glad I f*cked it off!

I've remembered today just why I love A-series so much.

Whilst Slamboo was good fun and the racer is hilarious, you have to take a bit of care, watching out for bumps in the road or discarded cigarette ends and matchsticks even! Seth however just rides over all these "obstacles" and takes it all in his stride.

Found a few other jobs that need doing though. I need to retorque the axle bolts, stop the exhaust hitting the rear suspension arm (side exit pipe methinks), sort the speedo out which reads roughly 10 mph too high, fix the fuel gauge and the speedo illumination.

So, all in all, what a great car!

Best thing having the best of both worlds... Slammed and High. WIN WIN.

Absolutely bang on Max-right on the button there mate.

Everytime I drive Seth (every day this week for work-poor old BX) I like it more. Loving it

when are you swapping your signature car pics over? it's a bit confusing espech after a few beers

Oh no, had a problem with Seth today!

Okay, so "problem" is a bit of an exageration but the N/S headlamp has rusted and the locating tag has rotted off the bottom causing the headlamp to drop out.

Soon sorted with another headlamp from the garage.

I can't help giving "updates" on Seth, he's really such a great car.

Todays "problem" was a sticking throttle. I've put up with it all week as a kind of rudimentary cruise control but today, I removed the pedal and greased the spindle etc and put it back together.

No more cruise control but also a bit easier on the brakes-it's amazing how hard it is to stop a 2CV at full chat. Although I was getting quite good at flicking the pedal back up with my heel whilst applying the brakes!

Oh, and the drivers window's buggered again, the metal "catch" bit has dropped off-same problem as the last window. Hey ho, 2nd hand parts for you I guess. I'll change it (again) tomorrow.

Gives you something to do

thanks again for the the tyre fitting,
