First world problem still
Sounds like the seller was low balling his own asking price. Good luck!

You are a better man than I, but if the price is that good I can see holding it in. Good luck!

I’m pretty sure that you’re going to need a bigger parking pad.

Pretty upset, guy sold the truck to the other interested party today.
Total waste of time and effort. Apologies for showing the stuff on here before it was finalised. I was just a bit excited as i thought i was first in the queue but the bloke was just a messer and a timewaster.
First world problem though. Still got my baby. It was always going to come second to the humvee anyway

It is what it is. Too many people with genuine problems to be upset about a lorry and half a day.
I got to drive it, that was cool either way

I’m going to go oshkosh next. Me and obi had an extremely frank discussion at his bedtime. Long story short. Its 1070 or bust.

You just know that once you have that HET next on the cards is a trailer + Chieftan or Challenger

The wise thing to do would probably buying this stuff after you moved to the states. Or buy a barge…

I had to look that up. In context “Oshkosh” the airshow made some sense. Now I get it. What was the nature of the discussion with Obi? I’d imagine that with you any mention of a new machine would be met with an immediate “Yes! Yes! YES!”

All set up at Bicester airfield sunday scramble for our last show of the year.
Met jk from jamiroquai when he blasted past us on the way in his Mclaren T50 with his thumbs up!

I just love how you are making a family activity out of that hobby that is usually seen as a strange loner thing. Your kids seem to enjoy it, at least judging from the pictures.

They do enjoy it. I’ve converted the whole family over to “green shite appreciation”

So ive not had a great week. Patience is wearing on the thin side. This could almost be a post for the mental health thread but I’m clinging on despite the worlds efforts to make me crumble this week.
I have a mantra. Something I like to say to myself that keeps me trucking. “Nobody is coming to help you”
Today i decided to take the afternoon off ( 2 hours before i got called out again) and tackle some humvee maintaining for my own sanity.
Was going to change the leaking lift pump, then realised my back was hurting and laying on my gravel drive was gonna make it worse. So i decided to rip the heater core out and see if i can get some heat blowing for winter.
Turns out, its a fairly substantial job. But i got into the flow, had a nice time and it was all reasonably easy to do, didn’t take many pictures
Airbox out, snorkel off, blower motor out, slam panel off, hoses off, fiddly
Havent bled the system yet but it all went back together and i feel lighter.
I’m coining this “zen and the art of humvee fiddling”
It really REALLY does calm me down. Which is nice. It means a great deal to me having that green ■■■■■■■ on the driveway. Thats a nice feeling
