First time notch driver

Post by MELLO YELLOW »

My dailly runaround had to go in for a service today so I got to drive the Ratback for the first time on the big road
At first I was abit apprehensive about it but I thought what the hell go for it
Wow what an adventure, apart from the interiour noise (I have no door panels on and there is a big hole in the ledge behind the rear seat)
After about 10km I started to relax but then it started to smell like something was burning, but no smoke or flame and the faster I drove the worse it got but when I slowed down the smell would almost vanish, so I put it down to cobwebs and gunk burning of the motor.

So now at 3 45 we start the journey back home

I cant wait

Well I got home safely, but the right front brake started to lock badly and pull to the left
so i will have to remove the hub and have a look see.
