That thing was *****d up.  It went like stink until it came to a bend -
which meant that it went slower than most of us on the dales run ;)

It is a crazy car and totally marvellous but as mad as a box of frogs.

Personally I prefer Dave and his Monster Truck.  He is a great guy and when
I got stuck half way up hard knot pass (the lakes run) due to a fuel pump
disaster - he came 60 miles out of his way with me to catch up.  Whenever I
went up a steep hill, it would cut out ;)

Yes I did hear something about you having a fuel starvation problem,
what was the outcome, ,, was it the pump or the tank pick-up pipe,

Dave and his wife are nice people, and his monster truck is something else,
we first saw this on the Lakes Tour 2003 ,,  he had not long finished
building it,,,,,what a crowd puller,
and I believe he has fitted extra lights on the front, the little blue LED
type,

The fuel pump was shafted.  I asked my mechanic to replace it (as I was at
work) on Monday and he said there was nothing wrong with it.  Needless to
say the AA towed me back to him a week later ;)

It has lights all over the flipping place.  Usually when he has had a few he
starts showing them off at 0000hrs ;)

It is one of the few cars that stops people asking about the pickup because
it is so completely bonkers.  He is currently doing another one with the
clubman that went on the Lakes with us as the insurance company wrote it off
for the sake of a front panel and left wing ??!!??!!??!!

I don't have contact info for him but I always bump into him at the shows
and we get on because of our 60 mile detour ;)
