The Propaganda Game...

28/4/2017

 
#BFGoodrich #Goodproject Some of the merchandise has arrived. The trousers they sent for me, julie has on. I'm not sure a 10 year old would get into Julies trousers. I think they are a size 44 EU so thats about a 28 inch waist on my pair. The shirts however are OK and so is the windproof. Expect me to be wearing it at every event. I contractually have to! The tyres they sent were the right size. After all they don't sell clothing, they sell the best overlanding tyres. Is this what the Formula E drivers feel like? Do i get a new hat every race. I have questions.

#BFGoodrich #Goodproject The wheels are on. Bit of drama which i will go into later. Dropped some more stuff off to be powder coated. Now i just need to play about with the pressures to see whats good. So far 50 on the front and 65 on the back. the fronts might need to go down a touch. The stickers on the car say 40 and 65. Maybe I should follow that !

You can get 6 wheels in a Kia Cee'd Estate Car.....LOL

Rubber...

20/4/2017

 
I've not seen this fim about a homicidal car tire...sounds really rubbish!

Something thats not rubbish however is BFG Tyres. We used them round the world last time and we've managed to secure a partnership deal with them for this trip. Thanks to BFG #BFGoodrich #Goodproject as they thought we were a Goodproject and we are !

I'm off to get my wheels painted and then will fit some new rubber! Hopefully not some homicidal 'B' Movie rubber...(it got a 5.8 on IMDB!)

The Man in the High Castle....

15/4/2017

 
Its been a while hasn't it. I've been busy with a new job and stuff so now thats settling down and the summer is aproaching we are getting some stuff done and going to some places. We have Morocco planned for October. Another shakedown. We also have some news that we can't say yet. So watch out for that.

Some freinds we met years ago have lent us their yeard for the First Annual Northern Overland Sphere Metting. We went for a weekend to check it out. We will probably not all fit.

Henrietta is now 100% carpetted although i made a mistake in the early parts and didn't do the windows correctly so i'll just had to live with it.  We did the final carpet in the sun whilst we were camped here.

I'm starting to spend money again on the truck. Going to get the wheels poweder coated and also the front bumper and steering guard. Still got the water tank to fit. Did i mention we are setting up the finances for the next leg of the trip. Its taking a long time. Too long.
