I have the same issue, my driveway is steep to the road, after building I will need to modify the driveway to get it out.

I picked the basic chassis kit up from MK in August. I had quite alot of prep work done before then, the first thing I bought was the engine in March 07.

Ha! maybe not, I have to go visit my parents in Scotland next week and the wife is due in 3 weeks, that will be a very large spanner in the works. Although, I have 2 weeks paternity leave.

That would be great! As soon as things settle down it would be good to meet you guys.

I hate to break it to you Snap-off, but that's not how they get them out!

Or did you mean the kid will be able to help out? That's my little lad, with his big spanner (about 4 years ago!)

Ha! I could use some of Matt.C's oil to help it slip out!
Cute boy, how come the woman gets all the fuss and happy talk and all us men get is talk of money, sleepless nights, hoodies, ASBOS, drugs, and crashing their first car (or yours)!
God, I feel like Rodney out of 'Only fools and Horses' with Damien.
