Off the road for a bit

[Gaz 1]

I have decided that over the winter months i'll not be using the teg much :shock: so it will be in my garage, is this a good idea or not? Any tips on when storing it, i have a trickle charger and will be using it, what other tips can you guys give me, start regular leave handbrake off things like that, Or just bloody use it lol

 

[neolee40]

WHAT?????? gaz man this is the best time to use it . You got a nice car take advantage of it

i'm actually doing the same thing myself! it's not good for the motor and she isn't singing as sweetly as normal with the really heavy frost and fog these days :evil:

it's good thinking imo Gaz xthumbup

 

[mikegsi]

im considering it too, only bringing her out for special occasions, like going to asda and such, but for work using her car while she's off work!

DC5 in red is definately the best colour - beautiful motor dan xthumbup

Mine has hardly been used in the last 5-6 months as I work away and only get to use her during odd weekends.

She feels even more special every time I get in her.

and it would take me months, mine has. :lol: i must have moved 10 ton of earth with the spade, the hardcored it then put in 6 ton of crush and run with the spade as was dumped outside the garden. knackereing!

but worth it. :wink: :wink: so happy how its coming together now, the main beam near the front im gona hvae something burned in the wood. 'yume no chicara' etc...should look quite good.

[kingston]

Looks as if your bowing in the middle already dude or is that just the angle?

I take it youve got a camber so the rain water isnt going to stand on the roof....

 

[TegTypeR]

no we left it flat ...... :roll:

[dan the man]

it does look bowing a bit.. but its staight...weird..!

but that main beam is well solid in case of snow etc.... and it falls to the rear enough,. we need to put a few more pieces in the roof on the across bitys aswell to keep the sheets better sat on etc..

buts its solid as (famous last words"! lol)
