OK, I got the Skunk back on the road yesterday afternoon... My ointment fly is that today is the last day of road tax, and I don't have enough MOT to buy another tax disc. Assuming I can book (and pass) a class 3 MOT by next week:

21. MikeVeal - Skunk.


Bart, just how bad is the entrance? I have ~ 3" of ground clearance and the bodywork tends to scrape...

Result! I got the ultima in the last time and think I have around 3" clearance at best without any scrapes or lost bodywork

[mikeveal]

Yeah, don't mean to sound funny, but whilst we both have a wheel in each corner, I have fewer corners... the overhangs at the rear tend to bottom out quite easily. I guess I can always get out and push for that extra 1/2 inch clearance.

MOT booked for Thursday. Doesn't give me much time to order any parts and retest, but with luck and a trailing wind, I'll be there.

Ooooh Ultima! Whatyagotiniit?

Haha, we can all grab a corner and give her some gentle encouragement.

Currently running a vw 1.9 td lump for super smooth fuel economy .

More awesome news tonight, the kitchen club (hosts) have some prizes too up for grabs. Invite anyone you feel may be interested in coming along

Bad news: The Skunk just failed it's MOT.
Good news: It was only for lack of reserve travel in the handbrake. Took me less than a minute to adjust and it's back waiting for a retest.

Well, after investing in the poorboys brand somewhat, the big Swedish monster will be getting some abuse from the polisher this weekend.

You can polish a turd!

I might hold you to that.

That's interesting, I've never seen (or heard of) an Ultima built for economy! I was expecting an integer multiple of four cylinders.

That's just an elaborate V8 shaped cover for the mighty TD.

Popped to DAS today and they have kindly given me the following to dish out to the varying winners on the night:-



Be nice to get a real diverse selection of cars down there on Monday so please pass on the event details to anyone who you feel may be interested in popping along

[GaryNoGrip]

Is it worth spreading the invites to the south west forum?

Got to send my rear wheel away to have it straightened (it's got a slight buckle) so I won't be able to bring the TVR now. Probably bring the battered Clio 172 Cup as my girlfriend will have the GTI.

Gawsh. A 1.9 litre V8 turbo diesel, I did not know that VW had one of those in their arsenal.
