Prior to departing into the depths of the National Health Service for some time, (i've recently been released on good behaviour), I foolishly put a tenner of diesel in my tank, my mind was elsewhere, and then found that my stay with the NHS had been brought forward somewhat due to circumstances beyond my control.
Upon my return home, I found the 'Pornmobile', thanks Malcolm, looking slightly dejected and forlorn, with flat tyres and an even flatter battery!
After a week and a half of staring at her through the protective barrier of the window, I couldn't stand it anymore and pumped up the tyres, at least that way she'd look a little bit more dignified, just for the sheer hell of it I stuck the key in the ignition, pulled the choke out and lo and behold, into life she sprang! All be it with a smoke cloud that covered the greater part of North Yorkshire, couldn't help myself, just had to see if the rear wheels which were stuck on, due to the handbrake being left on, doh, would free with a little 'gentle' persuasion! They did, so as I type this, both my R4 and myself are on the up, both in need of a current mot and some body restoration, (i'm currently weighing up wether to remain a la Duncan Goodhew or to regrow the barnet fair), but otherwise ticking over nicely.
Long hard road ahead but thanks to all those who wished me well, thank you.
Now i'm looking forward to getting the R4 back on the road.
Cheers one and all.
Rudi.
