My mom used to say “ United we stand, united we never shall fall” but the best advice I ever had was from the words of the song “Never surrender when your backs against the wall never surrender stand up and fight them all”

Quick update,

Got to micks at about 11am in Becky's old disco & drove home at 10pm in her new one with the engine, full suspention , diff gaurds, Steering guard, front bumper/A bar & snorkle all taken off the old one & fitted to the new one  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock: ,

Have to say BIG BIG thanks to Mick & his work mates & let you all know he is the dog's dangley's when it comes to mechanic's,

just have to remove & refit tank gaurd tomorrow & fit Becky's wheels/tyre's, cb & cd player & all done.

I think all in all it will be one hell of a good weekends work.

Well done to Mick and his crew. I'm amazed at the amount of work they got through yesterday. I hope that it’s not long before Becky's old motor is reincarnated again. The young lad who is having Becky's Disco (sorry can’t remember his name) and was helping certainly deserves it. He was working like a Trojan, hope that he comes laning with us in the future. Micks got himself a well kitted out unit and his expertise is second to none. Glad to hear that Becky's new motor is up and running, it looks the dogs and just needs some stickers to finish things off.
