    You've seen the way he drives the thing, maybe you can recommend some body armour and a full face helmet :lol:

    The Isetta is also called the Rolls Canardly in discreet British circles.
    Rolls downhill but can hardly get up 'em.

    Right, today's little bastardo job was to remove the bottom hinge, a job that meant taking the head off the central pivot and driving out the bolt, everything that could be stuck, was, real pig to get out, getting the new hinge fitted is a question of holding back the 350 kg spring and stopping the bottom of the door springing open and taking out your shins. Mrs T was inside holding the door and was in charge of bolting it back together - two and a half hours later et voila...

    It was a reference to Robinson Crusoe but I guess it went over the head of an accountant.

    Any updates on this the potentially epic thread T47b?

    Bumper off, new 'gaskets' made to go between the bumper and the rear wings.

    Indicators removed, cleaned, checked, refitted, ditto headlights.

    Yes and yes.

    Good work T47 but I'd be careful using that phrase if I were you, the last person to use it turned out to be decidedly iffy :lol:
