Yeah, he's enormous. A ton & a half at least -joking Archie.
On the plus side, the new steering wheel's fine.
Don't think you need a Panhard with triangulated 4 bar linkages Chris. I've emailed Kev!
I'm insured with Adrian Flux & have their recovery service, so I gave them a call ...we can't find you on our system. So how come I'm holding a recovery card with your phone number on it then? I only took the policy out 6 months ago. We can collect you, but if it transpires you're not covered there'll be a charge of £300. Maybe I should've just phoned Scottie the hotrod haulier instead.
2 1/2 hours later a very nice Polish guy arrived in a flatbed recovery truck, by which time we were the only vehicle left in the field -thanks for staying to keep me company Baychimp. Half an hour later, following directions on his Polish SatNav, we were unloading it back at Loony's yard. The driver asked if he could take some photos of it, then I waved him off.
Bugger. Ahh well, cover it up again & worry about it tomorrow. Could've been worse. I was going to take it to Kent last night, but didn't cos it rained. At least it only broke in a big field, in the sunshine, 6 miles from home. In front of several thousand people. Could've been in the fast lane of the M25 in the rain & the dark last night.
So it's first major mishap. I've been expecting far worse. The component that failed wasn't made by us, though obviously we may have built in a design fault. I'll jack the body up off the axle tomorrow & investigate further.
