        I know it's a very long way from you to the Big Jimny Meet but you really have to bring this, it's going to be incredible to watch it clambering up and down everything you point it at!

        We will see. It clashes with a laning day in the Lakes, and I want to see if its up to a 5.5hr drive (each way!) before booking anything.
Wired up the front spots first today..
Fogs:
Floods relay switched with main beam:
Then interior plastics and carpet. some new carpet for where the plastic doesnt cover, not looking too bad:
Then the seats. OMP buckets which Joel (winch-bitch) hates. Bit easier this time as I have lowered them a little and the roll cage makes a handy grab handle to help getting in/out.
plenty of room behind them for odds and sods..
Then found a convenient spot near the handbrake for the up/down switch for the tipping bed..
Also a myriad of smaller things here and there like getting the ABS sensors fitted, new wheel-nuts, bleed the brakes again (still not right).
I have organised a trailer to take it to the garage tomorrow evening for the MOT, rather than risk driving there with dodgy brakes. They can sort the brakes out properly hopefully before MOTing it

        Very good.  It's really moments away isn't it? So much nicer than a land master!

        Found a nice little 12v fridge to fit in the space between the seats today. Bonus cup holders as well...
and actually drove it to the MOT garage. The brakes work a little bit on the first pedal press, more like it on the second so decided to drive there. Bit of wind noise from the cage and some unhappy noises from the rear prop (but i knew that was poor). Hopefully the garage can sort the brakes and MOT it tomorrow :silly:
