following on from Its all his fault I have been searching for a twin for DH's Toy.  :grin:

and after a few weeks of searching, a couple of crap ones and LOTS of communication with my advisor   :lipsrsealed:

I stumbled across a bargain on gumtree, a quick viewing later, a FAIL viewing by Danny P on an other short-listed candidate, I sent the owner a " best cash price " text.  :whistle:

Amazingly, it was less than I was willing to offer, so a deal was done.  :cool:

Next up was getting it to mine for onward transportation to the IoW, and the seller came up trumps again, sorting all that out for me too, so i dont even need to sort anything out, go out in the rain or get my hands dirty.   :smug:


So say hello to the latest addition to the fleet









Next up, the vectra gets to try and tow it to the Diamond Isle for a driving day to see how it gets on  :huh: :undecided:

and if its survived then Tyres, Cage, Seat, Harness and Roll Cage  :evil:

it arrived  :cool: the wife hates it  :whistle:



first up was to start removing the unwanted interior





Loads of space to shipping stuff down to the IoW in the back, and got a new stock of odd nut & bolts



and the fleet, tucked up to keep the neighbours happy  :rolleyes:



Oh and I have broke it  :whistle: stuck in 4wd  :laugh:

Next up, wiring to sort in the back and battery to re-secure.

That's a shame. Could easily make a pretty penny on that for an owls fan.
