Hi All
Thought I’d revive this thread
. No posts for over three weeks.
It seems it wasn’t quite cold enough for Powys CC to throw salt over the roads last night and it rained all day yesterday so the roads should be free from salt. So despite the cold (2 degrees) I thought I’d start and run my fleet.
The van took some starting but eventually ran well enough on the quick mile or so I ventured out in it. Without side screens it was ****** cold. It is not set up properly yet so I wasn’t happy with how it ran really. I took the RK out on a similar run. The hand crank nearly took my hand off but after it ran its usual dogged self (slow and brake squeely). The Special started on the button and ran like a dream so I ventured a little further. With no coat on the cold was too much and I turned back after a few miles.
Roll on the summer!
Cheers
Howard
