Not much been happening in the world of the S**tbox.
Just been driving the wheels off it when I get chance.
I went up to Darlington last weekend to buy it another friend in the form of an Escort van.
Properly moody, met the fella who was clearly a pikey outside a scrap yard and I gave him my money through fear of losing my legs.
No pics as it's a fecking shed, but should clean up ok hopefully. 1.8 turbo diesel yielding a frankly massive 70 horse power when it left the factory, about 40 of which have escaped over the years. All of this means a top speed of 80 unladen, much less uphill or with the window open to let some noise out.
Should be good for work (I'm a bathroom fitter) plus the Puma feels like a Ferrari after driving it for a couple of hours.
As it's an old-skool mechanical injection diesel, I'll have a fiddle with the fuel pump and crank up the boost and see how many of those rampaging horses I can get back and leave a James Bond style smoke screen in my wake.
All the best serial killers drive an Escort van.
