Got to love 8v's lol lol

[Spudly]

Aye dont ya just, valve safe engines ftmfw:thumb:

[Jeff16v]

I expect he was collecting something to tow himself homelol

[NovaLad]

He makes sure he can make it to pick up a car then gets that car to tow him back!
It's the truth!

[Spudly]

Nah he has picked up that rolling GTE shell that was posted about on here the other night, been texting him this aft, it cut out and after investigation found the teeth had stripped on the cambelt :cry:

Unfortunately there is no engine in the GTE so he cant rob the belt from that but has one on the way freshly robbed from a nova belonging to a relatives mrs lmfao lol

[Jeff16v]

Title edited for truth, perhaps he was attending trailer convention

i are back :d so annoying not having the cambelt on me, with just some mole grips and a 17mm on a breaker bar i had the knackered belt off and the engine timed up ready in 5 mins, new belt arrived and it was on, built back up and ready for home in 10 mins, hooked the dolly and shell upto me step dads van so i could get home with daylight left to swap the cam belt back onto my brothers girlfriends nova for work tomorrow. 70 miles in 55mins wasnt bad going and belt back where it belongs before dark :d

this was now definitely the estates last trip for a long while and even with the failure she still did me proud

[Spudly]

[mowgli]

novas are better than an nvq to be honest.....

i really would not like to see you have to argue out the legalities with a traffic cop on that dolly & shell, but i've probably done worse in my time..........
