    Easter Tinkering

    Had a few days off so managed to squeeze in time to get the air tank properly installed. I also got hold of some new seat covers, and even though they are from ebay i am really happy with the quality and fit!!!!! I had a quick play in my Dads woods but couldn't go mad with the clicking CV joint on the front end, so had a clay shoot in the field instead

    Hope you all had a god easter! ?


    Sorry VX is a bit dirty! i am re-trimming the back with camo as soon as i get time!

    Lookin' good!
    Let me make sure I got this correct....you're apologizing for YOUR VX being dirty?... mud=crotchrocket !

    I thought you made those seat covers outta the bedding you got a few weeks ago, no? Maybe you're saving that for the re-trimming project you mention? I see a pattern here.....

    Looking good James!

    Those poor bluebells you crushed though Can I come and play too

    What is that box that you've fitted the air stuff in? I had one of those and thought it was just something the previous owner cobbled up! Obviously not!

    Cheers

    I thought rednecks were supposed to be an American thang? But now that I look at it, the British flag is awfully close to the Cornfederate flag... and look at all that camo! just razzin ya man.

    It's what all the AV equipment came in (sat nav, CD changer etc) and i was going to throw it out but ended up putting it in the shed. Turns out a 2.5 gallon air tank, amplifier and compressor all fit in it quite nicely

    I think you would like it over here. I thought you boys could only have scimitars and nunchucks in the UK? And here you are with a 12 gauge?

    I think they're allowed to own "sporting" long guns, but they have to be kept at a shooting club was my understanding.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Na, you can own shotguns and have them at home in a gun cabinet with a shot gun license. It is getting more difficult to get a shot gun license now though, and the auto in that picture has had the chamber 'clipped' so you can only ever have 3 shells in the gun at a time (same throughout the UK) you can also have rifles but no automatics and no pistols. Infact my Dad owns sevral pistols passed down from his Dad but they stay in Canada with his sister. Shame really!!

    If you ever make it over here, you can come and shoot my Saiga 12 gauge. 10 round mags and a 20 round drum-o-fun!

    Why is it so often that danger and fun go hand-in-hand?

    Yeah she's not bad too, she wants to be an assasin, lol !!! This is only the 410 as the 12 bore was a bit heavy for her (sore shoulder from work)

    [IMG][/IMG]




    With the fan, i just took it out, got the fan off the motor and put half a ton of WD40, then some engine oil in the bearing and back of the motor did the trick!



    Took me a moment to work out what you were talking about with 'the shackle' but now i got it !!! Yeah, that kinda works well

    Looking good crotchrocket!

    P.S. Holy crap Bart! Saiga 12 gauge? I pity the fool that tries to brake in to your house.
