Bugger's visit

Post by Ron&Gill »

Soooo... Bugger came down to CPT to help with Gill's bus' RGB oil leaks which I have been unable to solve. I picked him up from the airport on Monday evening, we discussed VWs and moved onto whiskeys and rums soon after. Tackled the bus the next day. Turns out one of th stub axles is too long... Anyway, handed over the famous 1:1 ratio RGB project to him to complete, I get the prototype, and we'll inform forum members on how it's progressing. Got the bus back on its wheels and parked her awaiting completion thereof, since she can't be driven now. (two different ratio's) Braaied that evening with Dave Rowley and Shaun, his sidekick, and talked about drag racing. Next morning we auditted all the gearboxes I have and I'm not in bad shape with parts. Nice to know not all the crap I have lying around is crap...

Thanks Bugger for your help!!!
