When will the test drive be? I suggest you inform the Police, Ambulance and fire service as well as telling your neighbours to evacuate and hide anything that might be damaged by the two rear wheels of a motorhome bouncing down your road which from memory is quite steep. Better to be safe than sorry eh?

Those two must be deeply in love Barry but I would not have gone to the trouble of fitting air suspension. They want to recreate that scene out of Deliverance but think all the other campers on the Site will see the van shaking like a good'un. Squeal piggy piggy.

Watch this space folks... The Tugmobile is gonna take off like a bottle-rocket... No... not along the road... but VERTICALLY, when those suspension units explode! So we're talking Aviation Authority, flight path interference and NASA notifications here! Attachment Deleted

I reckon I should get it up and running later today hopefully. I just need to devise a take-off point on the airline for my inflatable toys.
Not sure Dolly Parton will manage 4 bar, though.

For Public Safety reasons, steam boilers have to go through pressure testing. I'm sure your set-up will require official sanction, Tugs, before being let loose on an unsuspecting public? Which day shouold I be staying indoors?

STOP PRESS... You heard it here first, folks... The Tug-mobile is up'n'running. The latest information is that "It's holding pressure" (best said in Star Trek's Scotty's accent - " I cannae hold her, Cap'n!") So be afraid. Be very afraid... it could blow at any minute...

She will only blow if the Dilithium crystals overheat and Tugs constant farting could cause that.

Well, fuck my old boots! You aunts can take the piss out of poor old Tuggers all you like, but he is De Man wiv de air supenshun, Mon.
Finished at midday, pressurised up to 4 bar. Just come back from a long doggy walk and it's still 4 bar, so stick yer pisstakes up yer collective arses, 'cos Tuggers is ace. Tuggers is also knackered, fucked. hurting all over and covered in scabs and blood.
I took some piccys on the phone camera but atm I can't seem to transfer them onto a USB stick to put into the pooter. When my pal up the road comes back from a few days away, he'll explain the process to me for the umpteenth time and I'll show you all my magnificent handiwork.
Incidentally, the destructions say to coat all the metal brackets with body wax (presumably they mean car body wax, rather than bikini-line wax!), so I'll be off to the car-parts shop to get an aerosol of some sort.

Well done. Will you be able to go round corners at 100 mph now? I got tired and sore just reading about it. As for uploading the photos. Why do you need to put them on a USB stick? Dont you just plug the phone into the puter and import them? You need a visit from the IT Guru. Ill book a flight. See ya tomorrow. Get some booze.

I found some 40 year old Simoniz tins of spray polish in the garage, so I'll use them tomorrow. They seem to spray OK, but if not, I think I might have some squirty cream in the fridge.
