My first Vid (car running)
Stott - 29/8/10 at 08:33 PM

Here's my first vid.

It's my RH S3 2.0 Pinto running. I actually got it driving in 1997 but this is second time around if you will. I had left it stagnent for about 9 years full of just water and the gaskets had all wept, waterways wrecked with big rust flakes etc. So this is the second build of essentially a new engine, this time with an U/L head. It's been running since June.

Just thought I'd share. Notice the "chief helper" in the vid. Come September when her and my son get their butts to school, I might get a bit done............

I had to suck a bit of petrol up to it to get it going, now she's spent the afternoon going around the estate telling everyone "daddy was drinking petrol" lol

Well done, sounds sweet....

Two points from your video -

1. - was she at all aware the video camera was running?
2. - open the main garage door - carbon monoxide doesn't do you (or 'her' any good.....or was that the idea?

1: I don't think she knew tbh, she's very camera shy

2: We're Welsh, we like that sort of thing. (seriously though, the main door is knackered and doesn't open, that's why I tell her to get out halfway through, then when I go to fiddle with the car she's back in there and acting)

Sorry, didn't realise you were Welsh - it explains a lot.

Just realised, its about time I changed my avatar - the build has progressed a lot sice that pic - in fact I am nearly ready to start my engine for the first time.....

Top stuff..

The car certainly aint the star of the vid of course


So what's wrong with drinking petrol then?

Looks like she'll be a biker bird though...

Nice one. Looks as though someone was excited at least, isnit.
