The latest pt2

Snow? Who ordered snow?

The ice alert has sounded on the multipla... I'm in shorts & tshirt!

Snowing really heavy but we are at 7500 feet which explains a lot!

Snow, ice, now the bates motel with scully and mulder waiting on alien abduction... Been interesting today to say the least

The doors have gone on the USA Panda... They're held on with duck tape at the bottom. That and it's been sitting 2 years without moving so all in all its a major job to rescue it. Need a trailer I think which means that it will cost more than buying a immicualte 4x4 panda here in the UK and shipping it to the states...

Makes no sense as much as it pains me

(btw fred did the last rites on the little thing so it's spirit now roams the Mojave with it's ancestors)

The latest quote from Jim

Multipla getting gawked at by rednecks in a beat up lesaber on the freeway...

I had to reply :devil:

They don't know whether it should be ridden or driven ! or then being rednecks there's bound to be one that wants to marry it !

Jim responded

Marry the multi? Only if it brings it's cousin lol!

Sorry guys I HAD to say something (runs from the dobby mob)

You haven't shipped a Doblo have you ? would they marry the Multipla's ugly cousin ?

What ever it was it's dead now...

The muffler / exhaust seems to of taken the brunt of it... It's much noiser

Going to try and press on. I need a drink after that bang!

 

[JimMagill]

We've damaged the exhaust but otherwise nothing else is amiss. Still making progress but it's a bit noisy lol

Just had to call and see the Ewings today

Jim

Poor Multipla
