Ted

Discussion in 'Show Us Your Ride' started by top banana racing, Feb 13, 2013.

  1. By this time we had met and moved in close to @oscar
    Having got it mowed we had a few 'private' camps down there before we had the TLB Cotswold Camp. One of the most enjoyable weekends of last year.
    Doing the Assault course in Ted was less spectacular than the effort in the Beetle!
    We got a number of time penalties as it took nearly five minutes to find reverse!
    Note newly fitted Porsche Wheel centres. :)

    @zed was forgiven his parking as he arrived in the dark and came straight to the pub. IMG_0006.jpg

    @oscar sulking 'cos he didn't catch any fish.

    Some interlopers got in but we let them as they brought beer and wine! IMG_0031.jpg IMG_0032.jpg IMG_0189.jpg IMG_3357.jpg

  2. I then got fed up with Ted's rusty exhaust (2 months old Empi!)
    Fortunately a Stainless one came up locally for £50 so on it went, much nicer looking and a much better sound.
    Also got a Brand New set of overiders for HALF PRICE so they went on too with some of @lhu1281's rubbers.
    And a steering wheel from a Car Rallye Shop. :eek: And a new electronic tacho from someone in the Pipe and Slippers brigade. IMG_3454.jpg IMG_3468.jpg IMG_3469.jpg IMG_3504.jpg IMG_3505.jpg
    Fortunately I'd sold a bike so had some money burning a hole in my pocket. (Oh! How I wish that was still true)

  3. Nice tacho! Where did that come from?
     
  4. That exhaust is gorgeous!!
     
  5. There's a bloke on EarlyBay flogging both the Grey ones for Earlys/Cross-dressers and Black ones for lates, they work very well.
     
  6. More filed fun piccies.
    The Army Boys turned up and joined in, very nice bunch they are too.
    We had a "joint BBQ" which went down well.

  9. I digress, back to Ted.
    Anyway we had a few more nights out down the field, did a very windy Dubfreeze and then packed Ted off to Paul Weeding for a full "Heart'n'lungs" job.

  10. You gonne love the 2056 :)
     
  11. I suspect it'll be a tad faster than my 305,000 mile, wheezy, leaky 1700.
     
  12. It will be just like a modern car and it's a bullet proof combo

  13. I should hope so :lol:

    By the way, your wheezy old 1700 is inside a GE 2l case.... Just in case you didn't know :thumbsup:
     
  14. Glynn are you gonna drive Ted home from Paul's? When are you getting him back?

  17. Is that a good thing?
    Can I use that to my advantage when I build the next motor?
     
  18. Ted's coming home on The Trailer be back on Monday evening then out in Ted on Tuesday, is suspect I shall be conspicuous by my absence at work for around a week. :)
