well, just back in the door. a great day all round, and the sun god was good to us!!
took some pictures, will post them later as my connection is crap at the moment and wont upload to photobucket.
the gold bug done good. starter gave a few probs, but plenty of volunteers for pushing. the drive and views were spectacular, and the food wasnt half bad either. had a mini convoy back with myself, ann and pj, but then the demons struck:
comming thru hollywood, goldie lost power. a quick look under the lid showed more dirt in the fecking filter, and it empty. a little wiggling and we set off again. another seizure in naas, and once again a little wiggling of the pipe we set off once more, and bid pj farewell. our final fuel related stoppage was a mile from home, but we managed to nurse her back. on the plus side, not once after theses unscheduled stops did the starter fail us, small mercies then.
fair play to the lads who travelled up for this, keith, aidan pj and michael, great effort all round.
looking forward to something similar in the near future if this weather keeps up!
