Fixed? err no . not a straight panel on it, chassis need to be straightened, gear box and both diffs shot. Don't make old people mad.

so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Just to keep things up to date.

I have had two interesting conversations over the last couple of days with seat manufactures. It would seem that our seat foams are only fit for about 5 years use or 50,000 miles which ever comes first and should them be changed as they become flat and hard. Don't make old people mad.

I ordered the x large seat pad which arrived today. It is like a lump of jelly, heavier than its size would suggest and cold.
I have tried it on an old wooden stool which is uncomfortable normally after ten minutes, I have been using it for 30 minutes and it is still bearable now that I places a fleece over it to prevent the cold strike. I'll give it a try later in the 110 to see how it feels.



Well I bit the bullet today, not having been able to travel comfortably as a passenger since July due the vibration through the seat, I got S.H.M.B.O. to take me to a friends about 2 miles away over not so well maintained local authority roads. I found that the vibration through the seat base has been isolated. I just need to get the nerve up to try and drive now, might wait till the new specs arrive.
