The Diesel Lives On...

[lewis77]

Had it MOT'd today after sitting for 3 months unused through the winter while I used Thunderbird.
No advisories and half the permitted emissions, legend of a car !

All insured now, both cars on one policy with Admiral, and its cheaper than my previous policy for just Thunderbird!

However, (there's always a but ) The bearing in the final drive has gone, went straight after the test, it makes an almighty whine in every gear on load. Sounds like a huge supercharger
So need to sort that now , probably a new box!

 

[Larry]

that car is truly awesome!

Well it's had a hard life!

Oh yes
If we do some different tracks then I'll bring it, . FCS and WSR might have Thunderbird though. I'd bring both, but I need a driver

 

[Larry]

it'd be my pleasure but im pretty certain my insurance wouldnt cover it

The JB3 one? Jay said he's got one from the cabby I think

It ideally needs a diesel box to cope with the 65 raging stallions under the hood, but does anyone know if any other will fit it?

Nos sounds quite exciting, imagine that at a show

 

[jay]

yep jb3 sat out the back of my house

 

[lewis77]
