Well as you may know, I've been fitting the twin carbs to it. And you also may know, that they're not the quitest items in the world. :lol:
Took it for a spin round the block, and its not running right.
Got back and started it up to see if it was smoking. It didnt, which is a good thing. :D So i still don't knwo whats wrong with it, got no power and runs like a dog? Anyone got any ideas?
Then, i was standing with my best mate's brother, he's 14. He was by the passenger door, and i was behind the drivers door by the ignition, door was open. The next thing I know a massive 4x4 comes flying round the T-Junction opposite my house, without even braking, and ploughs into my car... :cry:
I had to jump out the way of it, and so did my best mates brother. I cant explain for words how close he was to getting hit, a foot away, if that! :o
My car shunted back about 5/6 Feet with the handrbake on...
Damage: (sorry for the no. of pics)

http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v14/lashednova/DSC01135.jpg Door got wedged on the old carb which was on the ground...
http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v14/lashednova/DSC01132.jpg Thats how far he moved my car...
http://img5.photobucket.com/albums/v14/lashednova/DSC01120.jpg The fucking little cunts damage, minor.
The amazing thing is, that he had a row with my old man and neighbours, then just walked off. Police were called, took a load of measurements, some statements etc etc.
And the bastid who did it has got til the end of the week to hand himself in2 the police before theres a warrant out for his arrest.
He lives across the road from me, and to put it mildly none of my neighbours are best pleased with him, the speed he hit my car would have resulted in slightly more than 2 broken legs... :o :o
Had it been 30 seconds earlier, me and my mates lil bro would have been crushed coz we were lookin in the engine bay.
