Yeah, we can! I don't even do the lottery - never been lucky with it
before - I think if I did and win a 'substantial amount' I would do two
things with it - do up current l'beast properly again and buy another one
just like "thunder" (but instead of white I'd maybe have a multicoloured
one - I have a mate who sprays cars for a living, I might just go for
another white one...and modify that one too - hey! what we should do is do
the Nat Lott through a syndicate on ELCO...
What ya reckon Julian?
The damage happened to the LRFT when someone put a trolley jack directly
onto the tank, it slipped, and punctured the tank. He thought the tank had
a protective metal plate - it didn't unfortunately. I'm thinking it might
cost a fair wack to take it out l'beast due for some work on it next week so
I might ask that nice man who works on l'beast for me to give me an idea of
costings - it might even be cheaper to have it replaced with a new one.
250,000 plus miles, 1hdt auto, safari snorkel, LRFT (when its fixed), new
suspension again (when I can afford it), spare wheel carrier (also
damaged...) winchless winch, etc etc, and a new roof rack (when I can afford
it...). Methinks I'll have to be earning upwards of 30,000 grand a year for
what I want to do....

Well, we can all dream, when I win the lottery eh! The Hippo is going well,
but unfortunately not stopping too well, ABS problems. Apart from that all
is fine. Sorry to hear about your tank, how did that happen? Fill the tank
with water, that will remove the fumes, but don't forget to dry it
thoroughly afterwards.
