What did you do this bank holiday ?
I had fun in the sun ............ pulled the injected crossflow out of a Fury (which was promptly taken away by staple balls  ) , then set about
modding the chassis , making a bunch of new chassis rails and then engine and gearbox mounts , and dropping the engine in !
Not bad for three days work 
 
Fury engine swap
Any one else had as much fun as me ?

I made some ali panels and finished my diff mounts, but mostly I drank Stella and watched the football.
I'm soooooooooo lazy
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Not running yet though, should be this week

Sat'... I was tied up all day organising a cycle race.
Sun'...Started bad when my dog got attacked ("he's a bit nervous of other dogs" she says just before her dog went for mines
thoat). So a trip to the vet to treat the cuts instead of a bike ride. Then went to work to make a new ally' air-box for the Fury. 3 hours later
gave up and put the old one back. Claire, hurry up with the next "how to" update so I can make a carbon one.
Mon'...Lie in then round to my Mums to stitch a tonneau cover (half done but should be ready for France next week). Then it started to rain just
as I was going to go out for a blat.
edit...broke my air nibbler on Sun as well just for good measure.

Wired up Megajolt and EDIS in a smart manner, fed wires around the engine bay, cut ali panels for centre console/prop shaft housing, waited for new
master cylinder to arrive, and tidied up all the odds and sods in the garage!
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!

Nice day so took the Harley out, (sod the car), and did shotgun, (together with 34 others), for a Harley trike taking a disabled young lady out for a
jolly. Really nice time had by all. Got home and it p****d down, just lucky I suppose, Cheers Ray

Work with the second most annoying person here... And to add insult this was a weekend (again) where I had to leave swmbo and child on their own, at
night, when we could have had a good time.
I'd rather have the squits than be here right now

Car has been ready for two weeks for my DVLA inspection today so nothing to do.
Spent the weekend transfering DVD's to my Archos in readiness for my Maldives holiday in 8 weeks 
Apparently the IFE on Monarch planes is rubbish.
Started night shifts on Bank Holiday, so home at 6am, up at 9am for transport to Wimbledon VRO.
