We’re going when?
July 1, 2008
12 days till the big launch in Faugheen Co. Tipp, 9 days till the UK Craic Commandoes descend on Ireland and just about the perfect time to take Humphrey to bits. Yep, to bits. So at present the magnificent Humph is parked patiently, bonnet up in the bunker awaiting his new water pump. His halogen headlight conversion is complete and we’re taking the little time remaining to get everything just right for the off. Now sensible people would have said “you should have done this earlier”, but we reply “Like, earlier when?”
So for the last week he’s been getting the full prep, doing every little detail and making all the good stuff better. Only way to go, cos remember, it’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you’ve done to it. So in the next 5 days we hope to add a coilover booster spring setup to the front and rear axles, make an airbox, wire in a new relay for the spots, make new door/boot/bonnet seals, fit all the extra electrical stuff (radio/inverter/12Vsockets/CB/GPS/interior fans/fridge), wax oil underneath and make a cargo bed in the back for all our stuff. The roofrack needs a floor and we need to coat the jerrycans in our special tough paint, which we lovingly refer to as “Poo”.
Are we busy? Meh. Are we stressing? Nah.
