dave hard Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 *mad*If it keeps raining like this up here I will have to try and convert the 21 into an amphibious version And then I talk to my GF down in Sussex who cheerfully informs me that apart from a light shower they have seen no rain for days ❗ Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave hard Posted August 10, 2004 Author Share Posted August 10, 2004 And yet, despite all this, the bugs and bird sh!t remain welded to the front of the tintop Did I sleep through summer and this is in fact mid November Caterham 21 VHPD - one of the few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Dave I reckon you need One pair water wings (preferably in a bright colour for increased visibility - a benefit to other shipping on the M4 ). Attach to side mirrors. Replace all four tyres with heavy duty black rubber rings (the clear ones with pictures of little animals won't work ❗) Bend the exhaust in such a way as to create a sort of propulsion system (this is where you can tell that I am no engineer!) You won't need a desk fan anymore - summer is over - so take out the blades and use them as a propeller. Voila - amphibious 21 Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I'm sorry - it will rain until Thursday when Alex gets back and I give Sumy back to him. Still I had a hugely fun drive in this morning - got a few funny looks from people in tintops...although that might have been because it was chucking down, I was wearing sunglasses and giggling away to myself 😬 Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you its been pissing down constantly up here since just after 6 this morning. ☹️ I'm starting to get flashbacks to SE Asia and the rainy season out there.

Boonie Hound Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 When you put the animals in can you not bother with insects. Oh and a shovel might be pretty improtant to cope with the elephants, buffalo etc. I'd also keep the lions and the lambs pretty far apart. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 ☹️ ☹️ Poor Sumy is full of water...which manages to find it's way in through the heater vents...she's not very happy... Still Alex is back on Thursday so he can look after her Oh and it has brightened up here a bit...maybe I should go home now, instead of waiting until later when it will almost certainly be throwing it down again...

Rachael Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 That's a very tempting prospect. Unfortunately I am supposed to be visiting a friend tonight and don't think I will be able to get away in time to get to the Ace... Hope you have a good time though - maybe next month!
