Hi All, I was on my way to meet KevFromWales at the Ace Cafe this eve to pick up some rims (/ have a pint) but my Benz ran out of electricity on the way  Mein alternator ist kaput! We just got home, courtesy of the RAC - botherations! So, can anyone get a message to him (txt or something) so that he doesn't think I'm a complete tosser  Thank you! HC. |

Mods, would it be a good idea to have a KevFromWales sticky thread at the top of the forum? Seems there is a KFW thread about once every couple weeks.  lol |

He's winging his way back to Welsh-shire now We had a pleasant evening anyway and he did succeed in one parts swap in the Cafe car park  |

Glad you had a good'un  I've only had the Benz a week so it's pretty damn frustrating! Alternator is putting out 12.3v - that won't do! Am I right in thinking the wheels have gone back to Wales with Kev? HC. |

Cheers Seth, definately a supermassivefail on my part..
Why is it we like Retro Rides again? Oh yeah, cos when they brake you don't need a physics degree to fix it..
Kev - you've got mail!

Good plan. Gotta be a Nokia 3210 though, for the retro win. |

yes - I are here seems an opportune moment for a kinda kev apologises for going haywire / off the radar for a good four months - just checked my last post - JUNE FFS!!! hardcore, while I remember, your steelies are safe in my barn, either for the next jaunt down south, or for courrierisation - just lmk what you want to do panda, I am literally quivering with joy at the prospect of a) going back to stoke on trent and b) removing all of the running gear from a fiat panda for ya and to all the other people I have steadily neglected, ignored and generally not been in touch with, much apologies - but I reckon I'm back now - mojo good and boosted, projects lined up and ready to rock - some even started for goodness sake! think the last thing I have to sort is some literature for coggers - if you're out there cog I aint forgotten (totally!) - I shall be personally delivering them to make up for the delay (along with a certain fiat gearbox it looks like) cheers for putting up with me all - I promise to fit myself with some sort of 600 mile elasticated / retractable leash so I can be called back to a suitable contact point when required!!! - kev ps - much cheers to akku and all others in the 'wally' thread - it came to my attention after the event, but it caused the biggest grin / ROTFLMAO moment I've had for a long while!     |

fack me j1mmy - you're another person on my never-ending list of bits I never did get around to collecting!! - sorry man excellent choice with the truck though - note the b@ggers gone and nicked the idea of 60's econoline headlamp bezels that I had for mine (which I nicked off the interwebz somewhere too...) kev ps - if someone out there knows how to make this epic p/shop of akku's into an avatar for me, as a reminder not to go walkabout again...  ... that would be great! |

here we go, have some rather excellent footage of a riva being thrown about the countryside, seeing s it's 1.21 am... (edit for lack of youtube embedding skillorz  ) - ps - if you can't be fussed watching it all - 3.40 - 3.50 is particularly entertaining ;D |
