The Fury is now all back together and cleaned and ready for the off, well apart from bolting the freshly painted bonnet back on! The next big moment was inserting the Fury into the bus for the first time! Although i had measured the width of the Fury and the gap between in the back of the bus i'd always just had a small worry it wouldn't fit or be too tight. I took the bus home and parked it in the high street over night, blocking the frontages of 3 houses/shops!! Emma also saw it properly for the first time, she actually laughed at it, which is better than the usual hissing and spitting!! She had expressed an initial interest in going away in it in the summer holidays, but now she has seen it in the flesh she has definitely binned that idea!!! So yesterday morning i parked her round the back of the house, loaded up my tools and tentatively drove the fury up into the back of her, half expecting year grating and cracking, but to my surprise she fits lovely, with slightly more room than i had envisaged!! There is even room to strap the spare wheels and/or jerry cans down the side!
Pictures were taken with my Dads phone as the wife decided to throw my Blackberry in the kitchen sink during a "discussion" about the trackday i'm going to on Friday!! I've dried it out and stripped it down now and its working again, although not quite as slick as before!! I'll be doing a 3 hour morning session at Abingdon airfield on Friday just to check the wheels go around, fingers crossed there are no problems as i have no time left to sort them!!!
Have you considered starting a second blog on blissful wedlock? Yikes.
